"I have noticed that as I take B12 injections myself, my hand and leg tremors stop or greatly subside. I use two different B12 (active forms) injections: Methylcobalamin (1ml) and Adenosylcobalamin (1ml). Every (average) 4 days I take one of them and this frequency helps at the moment. Only sometimes at the end of those 4 days (or some days later if I forgot) or when I have high stress levels during the 4 days (due to work), than the tremors are coming back for a short period. When stress level is reduced than the tremors do the same. To put it more in context, I am just diagnosed PD in the beginning of this year and I am not using any PD-medication."

"Hi Paulette,
"Thanks for your reply. Maybe my information could help you and others as well. I am taking the injections myself (in the beginning a little bit scary but it is for a good cause 😉 and injections are also scientifically better than pills. Pills are only between 1% and 10% effective based on studies. B12 Methylcobalamin injections are for example also used in Japan for reducing cancer tumors, but if you google you will find several worldwide scientifical studies. I buy my injections indirectly from a German pharmacy. They are better than the ‘normal’ injections I could get them from my local doctor. These are not the ‘active B12 versions’ and very cheap. I hope this will also help you and others… it is off course at your own risk, but B12 in high doses are allowed (see scientific studies). Good luck and hope to hear from you (or others) if it helps you as well."

"I have Pernicious Anemia, as well as Parkinson’s. This wasn’t diagnosed until several years after I had PD. Before the diagnosis of PA, I had to hold onto walls to be able to walk. I was constantly exhausted. After receiving 5 B-12 shots in a row, I could literally run a few steps. I received one shot every 4 weeks, then every 3 weeks. I HAD to keep my B-12 serum level to 1,200 or higher to received adequate benefits. (My doctor said this wasn’t necessary. She always looks at “numbers”, unfortunately, not the patient.) I was allowed by Medicare to use shots at home, but I preferred going in. Over the years, my B-12 dropped to the 600-range, and I felt unable to function. Finally, my doctor referred me to a Hematologist. He told me that sublingual B-12 has been found to work as well as shots."
"Apprehensively, I started using daily SL B-12 B-12, 5,000 mcg/day; it is an OTC medication. They are working even better than the shots, I am so relieved to say."
