About a year ago I started using the concept of plateauing in that when symptoms stopped improving I considered that plateauing and rejected that meant I could only wait and changed my supplementation regime.
With experience I was able to discern that healing was slowing and I would change my supplementation.
The pattern I experienced was often when I changed my supplementation there would be a brief uptick followed by a downturn followed by improvement resulting in my deciding to change and hopefully improve the results of changing my supplementation.
I can often discern that a change is positive in a few days. The downturn period lasts 5 to 10 days followed by improvement.
About two months ago I experienced a radical positive change and was hungry three times a day and the cold did not bother me as it has for years.
Pretty much when a year ago I started injecting three times a day I started doing a lot better after 3 + years of trials. I currently inject 6 times per day as my body only uses B12 to effectively heal for a maximum of 6 hours and is most effective at every three hours. I determined that by trials, it is my personal work and I am not following anyone else's work as I used to do, somewhat.
I do not experience feeling wonderful as it is hard on my body for my neurological system to heal and it is hard to adjust to being more healed.
The cold and the lack of sun energy in the winter makes it harder to heal and I have to adjust my activity.
I experienced a kinda of going backwards and plateauing at a place that was less positive than say the fall of last year. I was not symptomatic rather I was healing at a slower pace.
The sun is out longer now and I am building up my store of sun energy. The cold air from Canada keeps dipping down into New Hampshire. This morning it is -15 degrees Celsius. Here when it gets that cold there is usually no wind so that helps.
I have had positive results taking Niacin. I used to take Betaine and then switched to NAD and the Niacin is more effective than the other two.
My current regime is complicated and very fluid as I adjust to everything. That is why I am not going into specifics of my regime at this time and sharing only the concept of plateauing and frequency and how I am experiencing that.
I have a plan. The first time it is forecast to be 10 degrees Celsius and sunny two days in a row within a two hour drive I will head south. Get sun, eat, take an epsom salt bath, eat and then sleep. I will then get up in the morning and decide what it is best to do.
I did something similar 6 years ago when I did not know I was B12 deficient and getting gradually worse after many misdiagnoses my whole life resulting finally in a 6 day hospitalization and two blood transfusions and three weeks from death. Followed by ineffective medical treatment.
The time I did it before I ended up driving to South Carolina which is a 16 hour drive before it was above freezing. I had unwittingly traveled in a polar vortex event.
I would fly to Florida and stay for 10 days if I was not so beat up from the last year of healing due to more effective supplementation. Nothing for that but to continue to suffer.

Not expecting to be restored as that would be unrealistic at this time. It is more to convince myself emotionally that I will be able to heal more thoroughly when the weather is more conducive to healing.
I am experiencing a slow down in my rate of healing due to the lack of sun in New Hampshire. That and much of my energy is used to deal with the cold. I happen to enjoy the snow of which we have had no appreciable amount so far.
I have gone to the sun in the winter before and I found it interesting that when I came back to New Hampshire the people that wintered here were grumpy compared to me, in my opinion.
Good news is this winter I am able to heal at a faster rate than was possible before my current supplementation regiment.
I am optimistic about when I am able to get more sun. That remains to be seen.
I did use a tanning bed when unwittingly mitigating the effects of how my body utilizes water and food which includes vitamins and minerals. I found it was not a substitute for sun energy and only helpful to make getting sun energy quicker when sun energy was available.
With my supplimentation regiment my body has changed which was my goal rather than symptom mitigation. That I no longer experience the symptoms associated with B12 D is a result of that methodology not the goal.
So what I am thinking is I only know about the effect of utilizing a tanning bed based on how my body worked prior to effective supplimentation. Or another way to look at it is I got no clue. : )
This is what I am thinking I know the morning sun is better for my body. I also know that the morning sun is more red light wave than at other times. The local tanning salon offered red light therapy. I am going to do a trial of that.
i know that by sometime around Feb 20th I can get enough sun energy depending on cloud cover. The sun does its part it is those dang clouds.
So red light therapy for 10 min three times a week will be my trial. Of course I will check with my doctor. Just kidding I am sure some doctor will recommend 10 min three times a week based on their being wonderful. Then again I am sure that I can find one that says it will have no effect.
There used to be a term AMA against medical advice. That was dropped when it became known that it depended on which doctor you asked what misinformation you would get. I do understand that doctors have their uses. I do not happen to need an operation or medication at this time although I am sure medication and procedures could be mistakenly prescribed in my case.
I lived in York England and Greenock Scotland for a winter each. The morning sun there was better for me even though it is at a more northern latitude. I also came to understand that it was possible to get the morning sun effect later in the day.
I have also discovered that it is possible to get sun energy on overcast and cloudy days. However I can not get sun energy if my body is cold. The way I deal with that is to walk until my body temperature raises which would not happen when I was under supplementing. What would happen is I would get sick from minor hypothermia. I wonder if red light therapy will eliminate that.
