OH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let it be true!!

So the neurologist thinks we can reverse the neuropathy if we caught it in time!! No I am not yet a Diabetic but my neuropathy is as bad as one! She thinks it is due to my body trying to reject B12! So I will be taking DAILY injections for 3 weeks then down to once a week for 3 months then once a month for 1 year!!! oww!!! Here is what I found about that!

Vitamin B12 deficiency occurs when there is an abnormally low level of vitamin B12 absorbed in the body. Vitamin B12 deficiency can be a factor in a variety of different health conditions and disorders. B12 deficiency inhibits of severy decrease the bodies ability to produce blood, increases blood cell destruction, and is very harmful to the nervous system.Characteristic signs of B12 deficiency include fatigue, weakness, nausea, constipation, flatulence (gas), loss of appetite, and weight loss. Symptoms of severe vitamin B12 deficiency (regardless of the cause) may include burning of the tongue, fatigue, weakness, loss of appetite, intermittent constipation and diarrhea, abdominal pain, weight loss, menstrual symptoms, psychological symptoms, and nervous system problems, such as numbness and tingling in the feet and hands.

Let's hope then maybe no more wheelchair and even better than that!!!
