I'd really appreciate any information on consultants who are in the know regarding B12. I feel that I'm between a rock and a hard place and feel apprehensive about what to do. I'm 4 weeks into EOD SC hydroxo B12 and had relief of many symptoms BUT have developed red itchy rash from knees to sacral area. What to do? πŸ™„ I know I need B12 as some of foot and lower leg neurological symptoms have resolved. But if I'm allergic to B12, what happens?? I need advice!!

Thank you πŸ™

I’m not entirely knowledgeable but was your homocysteine high? I know that some itchiness happens when homocysteine is being lowered (happy to be corrected by wiser people)
