B12 & pwp

[Ramondo]

Has anyone had B12 injections and found they help with balance problems or any other Parkinson symptoms.

Why inject? Is this a must be! or an option?

If you have ever had a B12 injection you will certainly NOT like it.

I still remember mine in 1968. My PD did not show till 2013.

If they offer IV delivery, it is a much easier (less painful) way to boost your B12 levels.

This is an option offered to me, I would try anything to help my balance, thank you.

Yes I've been having B12 injections for a few months now. No effect on Parkinson's symptoms so far.

I have been taking weekly B12 injections for about the last 6 yrs and from when my symptoms were slight. I feel it helps with awareness and energy though both of these have still deteriorated over this period. I use 0.3 x 12.7 needles and there is no significant pain.

I am 5 yrs in, tremor dom., I find my daily B complex and B12 sublingual help a great deal with energy. I love my B's!

[Sapeye2020 in reply to healthabc]

Same for me , B100 plus sublingual B12 daily,, Dr. felt my B12 was low and marginal. Have more energy now.

[Ramondo in reply to Sapeye2020]

What B12 daily dose do you take,

. many thanks.

[Sapeye2020 in reply to Ramondo]

1200 mcg' A very small tablet, 1 per day

Everyone on this site has a different account of their PD interface with hi dose B1 therapy. I started with 8 X 500mg capsules/day. Initially I had right hand tremor, shuffling of my walking gait, hard to hear voice (increasingly soft), periodic momentary blackouts, periodic confusion, constipation (hospitalized), neuropathy of my lower extremities, and beginnings of balance problems. Within 9 weeks every single marker disappeared except for the neuropathy.

Since then all evidence of Parkinson's has remained gone with the exception of the neuropathy and the return of the right hand tremor. Continual fiddling with the dose amounts has failed to solve the tremor but it remains within acceptably tolerable limits.

I was fortunate to have conferred with the good doctor on several occasions and feel that if he had lived, we would have tamed the beast once more. However, I feel fortunate to have my life as I have and am confident of my future.

Good fortune to you.
