Have not had hepatitis so defer

Posted By Connie (Slc, Ut) on 07/29/2011

Hi John P. ; I have not had Hepatitis, so I would respectfully defer suggestions for that to the good folks here, such as Oscar from Syracuse. But I have had severe, even crippling Neuropathy off and on in these last 4 years. The symptoms you describe : numbness, tingling, burning, and coldness of hands and feet are Neuropathy. They are also some of the classic symptoms of B-12 deficiency. B-12 deficiency can occur so easily for so many reasons and liver trouble is one of them. I suggest moving quickly to resolve this as it can quickly worsen. If you choose tests, such as serum B12, homocysteine, methylmalonic acid, (urine or serum) ; they may or may not be conclusive of this. For instance, a serum value of B12 between 200-500 pg/ml is considered to be normal. Many people much more expert than me feel strongly that these levels are far too low, particularly when there are neurological symptoms. Methylcobalamin is the preferred form of B12 for neuropathy. Subcutaneous injections are recommended. I have had astonishingly good results with sublingual methylcobalamin, although I had to learn that I must have it every day. I take a 5000 mcg. Lozenge. I hope it will help you.

Thank you very much for the advice Connie... I bought some B-12 in a bottle of 500MCGS each "dot. " I'm trying to find out when it works so I'm taking one tab (dot) every couple of hours... So far I'm up to 3000 mgs... This is the first day... Am I correct in assuming that it will take a few days to see results? Not sure if I bought the right ingrediants as this B-12 ingrediants are croscarmellose sodium, magnesium sterate, silica, cherry flavor, cyanocobalamin, malic acid...

Is this something that you feel will not work? If you suggest, I will purchase another product tomorrow...

Again, Thank you very much for the information and your time...

*Not real good at entering posts as I am new at this...

Bless you and your family,

John P.
