Hi, I'm not sure of all the facts but wonder if anyone can help advise please? it's a family member of a family member. He has been in and out of hosp this year, now in again with more breathing problems, tho has covid on top of it this time. He's recently been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy last time he was admitted, numb feet, trouble walking, dizziness,etc I've been telling them about b12 as don't know what he's been checked for & he's not been given any treatment for that

I've yet to hear if he's having immunotherapy due to low or high immunoglobulin but wondering if there's any link to b12 issues or if it's entirely different please...many thanks

Has he had his B12 levels tested (when not taking supplements)? Were they low?
