b12? new poster

[sandraD]

i have not been dx with ms or anything like it. i have dysautonomia. my question is i have been showing b12 problems and folate deff. for over 13 yrs. now, i wasn't dx with b12 problem till a year ago. although, reviewing my blood test have showed it for the time mentioned above. when things 1st started happening to me, i did alot of research myself and had suspected ms, but nuero ruled it out cuz he souldn't find any lesions. although, i have 12 bulging discs in upper and lower back. nothing on mri. but did have remittance of symps when pregnant 8yrs. ago. which lead to my suspicion of ms.
i am wondering now if the ignorance on the part of my docs in not telling me about the b12 issue could have lead to my dysautonomia or some of the other things that do not fit with that dx. btw, my level was 237. after 6months of monthly IM injections i still only reached just below 400. is this showing a deffieciency or something else?
i am now on weekly injects for 2 months to see what happens.
i am more concerned that i may have permanant damage from the yrs of no treatment. i found this site cuz of looking for more research on b12. i need a little help, as it is hard for me to grasp things sometimes. i usuallly have to go over it a few times before i "get" it, and then i usually forget and have to go back agian.
please anyone knowledgeable on the b12 and folate, help me.
thanks.

Welcome to BT! I also went years not realizing I needed B12. In fact the only B12 test done was by the first neuro I saw. My nimbers were very high & my GP actually told me to stop taking any B vits.

then I discovered BT & about B12 Methylcobalamin. I think it probably saved my sanity.

We do have a vitamin forum here,just scroll down. You should find alot of information. Or just ask & you'll get help.

Since some doc's thought I had MS,I did some research also. Not everyone diagnosed with MS has lesions on a brain MRI.

Good luck & hope you feel welcome here,since this is a brain site don't feel shy cause you can't recall anything well. Many of us know the feeling all too well!
