Hi i was wondering if the b12 tablets work as im having trouble seeing a doctor

It depends on whether you have an absorption problem or PA.Some find taking b12 3x a day can make a difference.

It is possible to passively absorb some.

It's not enough for me .

You can buy 50mg or 100mg at any supermarket pharmacy.

I eoukdnt spend much incase they do nothing.

I've tried loads

I've tried sprays

I've tried 1000 mcg sublingusjs

500mcg mixed with beetroot powder and organic and vegan capsules.

No harm in trying

They work fir my sister but she has never had injections

Absorbtiin lowered from food to 114(range 180-800) dont know measure as done in India

Oral forms keep her levels in the 400's now.

Yes I think b12 deficiency can cause these problems Try and get referred to a specialist if you are having nerve pains.

Personally I would keep pushing to see a doctor as it’s possible the tablets might skew a blood test. If your diet includes sources of B12 such as meat, fish or shellfish then you should be getting enough in your diet. If you are not absorbing it and that is leading to your issues then you want to be starting on injections as soon as possible.

It’s frustrating that it’s so hard to see a doctor these days!
