Q: I have high level of vitamin B12 & symptoms are getting worst?
i’m so worried. my vit. B12 level is around 1,200 & my neurologist insist that it’s not alarmingly high! but the symptoms persist w/c runs for years now: fatigue, memory loss, dry skin, falling hair, forgetfulness. what shall i do & what causes my B12 this high? i’m not taking multivit. at all except folic acid (i’m trying to get pregnant), vit.c a & calcium. any thoughts?

A: I have no idea, but I have the same problem. My B12 levels go high then I get extreme fatigue, and a bunch of neurological problems and massive headaches. Then my levels return to normal and I’m fine. But this makes no sense because the problems should only happen when the levels are low. So far we haven’t been able to find anything yet either. I’m also not taking any vitamins and I don’t even eat a lot of meat so we are completely out of ideas. I’m going to see a different doctor in 2 weeks, so hopefully that will bring some light to the situation. Best of luck!!

Q: anyone know symptoms of vitamin b12 deficiency?
i’ve been really tired lately and losing weight, i weigh around 99lbs. i used to weigh 125lbs. i get really shakey and need to carry food with me. i get out of breath.and my hair is getting so dry and thin. i’ve said something to my doctor about the weight and he said you look fine, but i don’t think it’s normal to lose weight for no reason and i just don’t feel well and i look awful too. i know taking medicine for reflux can cause vitamin b12 deficiency and i take nexium for years.

A: Sudden unexplained weight loss should always be investigated to find out the cause, especially if you also feel tired and shaky. Your doctor will want to check you for diabetes, overactive thyroid gland, hidden infections, and other causes of weight loss. He or she will probably arrange blood tests and a chest x-ray. Don’t put off going – the sooner the cause is found, the sooner you can be treated and on the way to recovery.

Sometimes weight loss can be a sign of a depressive illness, and your doctor will want to know how you are feeling emotionally. In the meantime, try to eat a healthy diet. It can help to keep a food diary for a few days to see exactly what you are eating. Healthy between-meal-snacks such as fruit, muesli, smoked salmon sandwiches, and cheese can help you put on weight. High-carb foods such as rice, pasta and bread are also a good idea. good luck

Q: symptoms of vitamin b12 deficiency severe?
I have been having injections for 20 yrs have relocated and now been told I dont have it anymore. Originally was told I would have injections for life ? Whats happening?

A: If your not comfortable, get another blood test and a second medical opinion from a different physician.

Q: Nuerological symptoms: migraines? vitamin B12 deficiency?
I post this question because it’s approximately 5 years I am experiencing headaches of varying frequency and intensity on only one side of the head. Often I have small transient spots in my eyes also, similar to those you get after looking at a lamp or at the sun. In 2005 I got really worried because I began experiencing also pins and needles in my (usually left) arm, nausea, problems with attention and depression, red spots on the left side of my face. My left foot’s big finger also feels strange, especially if rubbed on a surface. So I got an MRI of my head which showed only a mild sinusitis. After that I had periodically some events of this kind, but the situation seemed stable, so I stopped worrying (I somewhat got used to it). I have some 3 to 4 strong headaches a year. My mother has almost the same symptoms. My father doesn’t. I am 26, male.
I got a pericarditis on 2002 and another one a month ago. Both of likely viral origin. After the second pericarditis I got blood samples taken, which showed some mild anemy, which my doctor suggested to be due to vitamin B12 deficiency. My left foot big finger still has altered perception. I have no relatives with diabetes or known metabolic problems.

A: Adriano – Migraines usually begin in childhood, adolescence or early adulthood. A typical migraine attack produces some or all of these signs and symptoms:
Moderate to severe pain, which may be confined to one side of the head or may affect both sides
Head pain with a pulsating or throbbing quality
Pain that worsens with physical activity
Pain that interferes with your regular activities
Nausea with or without vomiting
Sensitivity to light and sound
When untreated, a migraine typically lasts from four to 72 hours, but the frequency with which headaches occur varies from person to person. You may have migraines several times a month or much less frequently.
Not all migraines are the same. Most people experience migraines without auras, which were previously called common migraines. Some people have migraines with auras, which were previously called classic migraines. Auras can include changes to your vision, such as seeing flashes of light, and feeling pins and needles in an arm or leg.
Whether or not you have auras, you may have one or more sensations of premonition (prodrome) several hours or a day or so before your headache actually strikes, including:
Feelings of elation or intense energy
Cravings for sweets
Thirst
Drowsiness
Irritability or depression
When to see a doctor
Migraines are often undiagnosed and untreated. If you experience signs and symptoms of migraine, keep a record of your attacks and how you treated them. Then make an appointment with your doctor to discuss your headaches and decide on a treatment plan.

If your vitamin B12 deficiency is mild, you may not have symptoms or you may not notice them. Some people may think they are just the result of growing older. As the anemia gets worse, you may:
Feel weak, tired, and lightheaded.
Have pale skin.
Have a sore, red tongue or bleeding gums.
Feel sick to your stomach and lose weight.
Have diarrhea or constipation.
If the level of vitamin B12 stays low for a long time, it can damage your nerve cells. If this happens, you may have:
Numbness or tingling in your fingers and toes.
A poor sense of balance.
Depression.
Dementia, a loss of mental abilities.

In summary, Adriano, it’s time to find a good internal medicine specialist (MD) or neurologist, and work with him tom obtain a specific diagnosis. Good luck.

Q: Vitamin B12 Deficiency Symptoms?
I have been feeling run down, etc and have just had a whole heap of blood results come back. It appears my B12 test results are very very low so my doctor is referring me to a specialist.

I don’t have anaemia although had another blood test today to rule out Pernicious Anaemia. I have haemachromatosis so my iron levels are okay or generally slightly higher than normal.

Can anyone else let me know what other symptoms are associated with b12 deficiency?

I initially went to the doctor because I have been tired (basically exhausted) for months, no amount of sleep helps! I also have loose bowel movements, which are more regular than used to be (although I did have my gallbladder removed around 10 months ago which may have caused this), I am also irritable and moody!

I am not a vegetarian and eat red meat, fish and eggs so my doc has told me its not a diet thing

Any help would be appreciated!

A: I had almost the same symptoms. I got shots every few weeks and now i’m up to once a month. I feel great and my symptoms have virtually gone away. Sometimes the pills help, but all they did to me was give me headaches. It’s amazing how much better I feel now. My doctor’s great.. anytime I feel like I need it, I can go in and get another boost.

Q: Is sweating a lot in your arm pits a symptom of vitamin b12 deficantcy?
I sometimes sweat a lot in my arm pits. I think I remember hearing that it is a symptom of vitamin b12 deficantcy, but I took a B vitamin multi-complex and I still have the same problem

A: idk but sounds to me its a symptom of hairy pits and no deodarant.

Q: what to do about Vitamin B12 deficiency?
ok i am pretty sure that im running low on vitamin b12….i have all the symptoms and im pretty freaked out…what is the best way to fix this….im very scared about it…..what kind of foods can i eat and what vitamins can i take…and how long it will take to fix….im 12 years old…a girl…please help if you know anything!

A: I am Vitamin B-12 deficient, I go every week for a shot of B-12 because I have an eating disorder and can’t eat the foods I need to get the vitamins I need. I think if I were you I would buy Vitamin B-12 supplements OTC and take one (or the recommended dosage) everyday. I liked B Complex better than B-12 because B Complex has all the B’s in it you need. Find a list of foods that are high in B-12 and eat them. You can’t get too many B’s so don’t worry but never take more than the recommended dosage.

Q: do any of you have a vitamin b12 deficiency and if so what were your symptoms?

A: Symptoms do not often manifest until a few years of deficiency.

A: B12 deficiency generally does not cause chest pain. It can, however, cause shortness of breath, fatigue, confusion, memory problems, etc. It is probable that your chest pain is related to anxiety. Panic attacks can indeed cause chest pain and be confused with a heart attack.

If you feel like the B12 tablets help you feel better, go ahead and take them. B12 is a water soluble vitamin, meaning that any extra you take in will be excreted in your urine, so you can’t really overdose (but in general, it’s still a good idea to follow the dosing instructions on the supplement).

You would not become deficient in B12 just by stopping meat for 5 months. B12 is found in other animal products such as milk and cheese, and is also present in fortified foods like cereals. Plus, it’s stored in the body so that it takes a long time to become deficient enough to show symptoms, even if you stop taking in any.

There is a condition, however, where your body cannot absorb B12 even if you are eating it. There are specialized cells in the stomach lining which secrete a substance called intrinsic factor. Intrinsic factor binds with B12 in the stomach and allows it to be absorbed in the intestines. If you don’t have any intrinsic factor, you won’t be able to absorb B12. In some people, the body makes antibodies against those cells and destroys them, so there is no intrinsic factor and thus no B12. This condition is called pernicious anemia.

Also, in some people (like me) the body doesn’t destroy the cells, but still doesn’t absorb B12 well, so supplementation is necessary.

If you really want an answer, you should stop taking the B12 and go to the doctor. They can run a blood test to check your B12 levels, and they can also check for those antibodies. The reason I say to stop the B12, is because a deficiency may not show up if you are supplementing.

But if you feel better on the B12 and don’t care about an official diagnosis, then just go ahead and take the B12.

Q: What happens if you take too much vitamin B12?
Symptoms of B12 overdose.

A: For healthy individuals, large doses of vitamin B12 are not recommended. Healthy adults get enough of this vitamin from a balanced diet. Healthy adults are recommended to take one multivitamin daily that contains vitamin B12 The recommended daily does of B12 is 6 micrograms.
Toxicity levels of B12 have not been established by medical research,however people taking vitamin B12 injections may experience skin problems if B12 is taken in large excess.Because data is limited, caution should be used when supplementing one’s diet with B12.
There are no signs of vitamin B12 toxicity, per se. There are a few rarely reported side effects that might be attributable to the vitamin, but such side effects are not necessarily related to the dose. These possible side effects include:

Diarrhea
Blood clots in the legs
Feelings of swelling over the entire body
Signs of an allergic reaction, such as:

Hives or a rash
Itching
Swelling of the lips, mouth, or throat
Wheezing or other difficulty breathing.
an be taken from all sources, including the diet, without causing significant toxicity.

Q: What is the normal range for vitamin b12?
My neurologist diagnosed me with vitamin b12 deficiency. My level was barely 100. She has me giving myself b12 injections for the rest of my life.

My question is I have been sick since November with mono and cmv. And my current doctor’s are looking into fibromyalgia, which I have all the symptoms for. But why would these other doctor’s who did bloodwork not notice the low vitamin b12.

Is a level of barely 100 really low??

A: Normal B12 range is 200 to 600, so your results are considered low.

The bloodwork that the other doctors did might not have included a B12 test. From reading, it’s my understanding that this is a separate lab test and not automatically included with other comprehensive lab tests such as a CBC (complete blood count) or a CMP (comprehensive metabolic panel). It seems to be a followup test ordered when other test results indicate a problem, such as a low hemoglobin (blood iron).

B12 is stored in the liver, so it can take some time (even years) for a B12 deficiency to show up after you’ve had problems absorbing it. (Usually it’s related to lack of intrinsic factor in the stomach.)

Mono (Epstein-Barr Virus) and CMV can certainly cause fibromyalgia-like symptoms. Or if you have fibromyalgia, EBV and CMV can make your symptoms much worse. With fibromyalgia, even one sleepless night can make your symptoms worse. I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 10 years ago, and I have had EBV and CMV.

Q: Vitamin B12 deficiency?
I think I may have a Vitamin B12 deficiency, but I’m not sure.

Lately, I cannot focus or concentrate on anything. I’m a vegetarian, but lately I’ve been avoiding dairy because I’ve been a little “backed up”. I’m also trying to lose weight, too, so I’ve been eating less than what I’m used to. I haven’t gotten my period in two months (no chance I could be pregnant). I’ve been moody and irritable, and lately I’ve been feeling nauseous, as well.

Are these possible symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficieny?

A: I was Vitamin B12 deficient at one time due to the medicine that I take and the deficiency leaves a person with little energy due to the fact that Vitamin B12 deficiency is a form of anemia. Set an appoint up with your doctor. If you are Vitamin B12 defficient, the results of the blood work will indicate this. Your red blood count will be the lower than normal.

Q: What are some conditions that can reduce vitamin B12 absorption and lead to defiency?
1.What are the symptoms of this deficiency? What are the long term effects of a B12 deficiency?

A: lack of intrinsic factor.

pernicious anemia

Q: Pernicious Anemia,vitamin B12 deficiency,after starting injections how long does it take to be cured?
i was diagnosed with B12 deficiency anemia and up tp now i have taken 7 shots and some symtoms are a little better,i want to know how long does it take to have all symptoms (weakness ,tingling ,pain) vanished?,does anybody has gone through this course of treatment?if so please tell me.thank you.

A: You will have to take B12 for the rest of your life. If you have neurologic symptoms due to B12 deficiency, the result of treatment depends on how early treatment was started in large part. Too late, and B12 will not reverse the symptoms. It depends too on whether the main cause of your symptoms is the peripheral nerve or the posterior columns of the spinal cord. A nerve heals about 1mm a day. ( rough estimate) so if you have numbness up 1 inch, figure 25 days for that inch. Most people have ‘way more than that when the problem is discovered.
Make sure you have been carefully checked for other causes of numbness, weakness, pain– CIDP, and the usual suspects- Diabetes ( with a glucose tolerance) heavy metals, collagen diseases,etc. Better to be careful and sure, that to use “Post hoc” reasoning and find out a year or two down the road something else was going on.

Q: Could this be a symptom or a b12 or vitamin deficiency?
Could seeing like random spots that look like light and fade be a symptom of a deficiency or dehydration? They are usually very light blue, almost white and appear before the eyes and fade. Also small dark spots that fly and sometimes zigzag usually in the peripheral vision but sometimes before the eyes. And seeing something black in the peripheral vision but when you look to the side it looks like you just missed it. It started when the deficiency first started with muscle aches and the black things in the peripheral vision but that no longer happens. Now its just the lights and dark spots. What could it be?

A: the “dark spots” are just floaters, everyone has them.
the spots of light are just reflected impressions on the retina and also are normal. If the light didn’t fade, you would have something to be concerned about, but as you say they fade away, then yeah, they are normal.
