Vitamin B12 and neuro problems

April 3, 2005

Hello again,

In answer to , I don't know yet if they have done previous B12

tests.The test they did last showed a B12 reading below the normal

range. Going back to Doc this week, sure will ask but have a feeling

she never made the test in the past. I've been reading a lot on B12

and it can cause many neuro problems like tremor and myclonous jerks

and low BP (causing a near blackout while driving last week) which I

have been having over the past 2 years. I guess I'll be getting B12

shots soon and maybe forever. It will be interesting if they will make

my PD symptoms better.

B12 is stored in the liver and it can take 3 to 5 years for it to be

depleted if you are not absorbing B12 in your diet/small intestine. I

am begining to suspect my B12 has been low for many months and maybe

it could be a source of my problem. I could have an autoimmune problem

or pernicious anemia. Won't know until they run more tests. I would

urge others to ask for a B12 test.

Does anyone know if LDN (I've been on it 9 months) works for

pernicious anemia?
