I live in NW Wisconsin, USA, about an hour and a half from Minneapolis/St. Paul MN, an hour and a half from Eau Claire, WI, and an hour and a half from Duluth, MN. I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency by a neurologist from Eau Claire who knew how to diagnose B12 deficiency with neurological symptoms, but knows nothing about treatment. When I was diagnosed, my GP, to his credit, informed me that he knew next to nothing about B12 deficiency, so I started reading, joined this group, and so forth, and have been directing my own treatment, through my cooperative GP. My GP, attempting to be helpful, once offered to refer me to a "B12 expert", who turned out to be a hematologist who knew nothing about treatment of B12 deficiency with neurological symptoms. So I have never spoken with a physician who knows anything about treatment of my disorder. On the bright side, I have never had to fight a physician who knew nothing accurate about my disorder but "knew" things that were incorrect. I would love to talk with a doctor who is knowledgeable about B12 deficiency/neural symptoms and has years of clinical experience diagnosing and treating B12 deficiency. So I thought I would ask here whether anyone knew of such a physician in my geographic area.
