yes. Vision will struggle, at times being worse or level out. However I would say it's never severe but noticable. B12 deficiency affects vision. The injections will help; however It will take time before that stabilizes. All healing will take time. ESP since most of us go years with the deficiency before being treated.

Hi GPW

Yes, I felt space as if sight and sounds were slightly cushioned, I felt like an observer rather than a participant but that changed after a while and much better now.

Delighted you are getting B12, had your GP checked your cofactors like folate and iron and magnesium (I think I can never remember!)

I wish you a successful recovery.

Hi GPW

Generally the more deficient you are the more it gets worse before improvement. I didn’t expect it either. Knocks you for 6 doesn’t it? They are called reversing symptoms. Try to get MARTYN Hoopers book if you join PAS they send you one I took lifetime membership

Hang in there you are on your road to recovery

My vision and hearing deteriorated intermittently. I had to install speakers for my Laptop and buy reading glasses.

It was very strange and scary as it was an on and off thing.

It has resolved.
