Hope you have started b12 injections. It may get worses before better.

My central nervous system, head pains, tremors ect were very bad at the beginning.

Make sure all bloods are done.

Intriscuc factor antibody test done.

All the links you havd been sent will help you.

Yes I have started injections already

[Shel7 in reply to Nackapan]

Should I start every other day injections as I have neurological symptoms?

[Nackapan in reply to Shel7]

Thay is what is recommended .if you look up the guidelines . You should be given them at your doctors.

Your B12 level is so very low . You don't mention any treatment . You need B12 injections ASAP . im surprised that you haven't got many more symptoms .

[Shel7 in reply to wedgewood]

I have taken 4 injections till now.1 more has to take today

Hi Shel7 I see you are in India. Are you vegetarian by any chance? Your level is very low. I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency whilst living in India at a level of 129, I couldn't get out of bed but found much more understanding of it within the medical profession there due to the high prevalence of vegetarianism. Are you able to visit a doctor in Apollo Hospitals. I used to get my B12 injections every two weeks in the Emergency Room, total cost RS 150. If you're vegetarian, tablets might work too. Please don't delay with treatment as your levels are very low 🙏❤️

I have taken 4 injections till now. I have to take 1 more today. Is it due to low b12

[Hidden in reply to Shel7]

Can you have an appointment with your Doctor to discuss your treatment plan going forward? It's good you're having injections but you need to know why you have B12 deficiency and what treatment you will be given to keep your levels up. Good luck

I have celiac disease may be that is the problem I have and I am not typically vegan. I drink milk daily I don't know why my body is not absorbing it.I am on gluten free diet past 2-3 yrs.Could you please suggest me good doctor here in India.Doctors are not good here I have done my test privately and ask for injections.They only care for making money and doing unecessary tests.My thyroid is normal.Blood report is normal they say but red blood cells are somewhat large also MCV and MCH is somewhat low.

Coeliac is a known risk factor for b12 deficiency

[Shel7 in reply to Nackapan]

Should I take everyday injection or I take high dose sublingual?

[Cakebake in reply to Shel7]

The UK guidance states where there are neuro issues present that recommended treatment is B12 injections every other day until no further improvement.

[Nackapan in reply to Shel7]

I would try tabketscor sub lingual first . Might be enough . If not injections

[Shel7 in reply to Nackapan]

Could you suggest me some good quality sublingual which is gluten free
