Jimmy, how are you doing now? Have all your symptoms dissappeared? Do you take B12 now? How often? Thanks for sharing your story. I almost died for lack of B12. Had to change doctors to get the right diagnosis.

I almost died from B12 deficiency and how poorly managed it was. I have been in a constant fight with the GPs and have been self-treating for 4 years now. My case is one of absolute medical negligence and every doctor who failed to acknowledge and refuse to help me should lose their license.

Never take anything from a drug dealer without knowing what it is. In her day they didnt have the internet but today we do. And be careful if you google the positives it will only tell you positives. You have to google the negatives too or google wont offer that information. Absolute disgrace i hope she got some sort of compensation.

Metaclopromide, and all the other anticholinergic medications, has potentially very serious side effects, and should never be taken long term. Please investigate natural remedies, and dietary changes, and if you really need medication for nausea, take 1/4 of the dose, increasing only if necessary. Best wishes to Petra!

Eat organ meat people!!

I am B12 deficient too however my experience is nowhere as bad I get tired too and sleep more than I should (am lazy) and I too had a sort of swelling in my lower right leg and my feet feel different especially when I have a bath right leg is telling me its warm water my left tells me it well hot.

Molec... Consuming the childen.

If you have the MTHFR gene mutation (23&me is where I got my genetic profile done, several years ago) then while your blood tests will show your B12 levels are normal, your body/brain is NOT getting any B12. all the B12 pills, liquid you take by mouth are there for when you have a blood test, but because your body cannot process B12 the 'regular' way you're in big trouble. Injections (or IV) are the only way.

I am so sorry for what happened to you Charlotte. Thank you for telling your story. I just self-injected my first B=12 shot, it took me nearly 4 weeks to work up the courage. It's a long story, but my right foot hasn't been right since I had Covid the 2nd time...and my energy is almost non-existent plus there's a periodic loss of feeling in my toes (yet it's not neuropathy, the doctors say & some said yes it is..but at any rate, "nothing to do... just live with it"). When I'd suggest that maybe I need to self-inject B12 as I did 25 years ago, when I had similar symptoms (but not the rt foot stuff) they'd refer to my B12 blood tests which always showed my levels to be "normal". Then, thankfully, my integral/functional doctor referred me to another integral/functional doctor so I could join on her Shared Medical Appt (SMA). There are 12 other women in those 1x month meetings that go on for nearly 2 hrs. Awesome information sharing. In one of the meetings I mentioned that I thought B-12 shots might help. My new doc asked me a lot of questions..but when I said I'd had the 23&me genetic testing. She wanted to know what genes seem to be problematic. I told her about the various ones..which included MTHFR mutation."That's all I need to know!" Immediately, she wrote out a RX & sent to compounding pharmacy, etc. With MTHFR,--- blood testd show your levels are normal, no need for B12--- but you're NOT processing the B12 supplements, no matter how $$ they may be. ------ It's very possible I won't have to live with my foot problem, which sometimes makes me fall over.. You are an inspiration.--- Doctors miss so much! We must do our own research & also follow our hunches... and be blessed with intelligent, caring doctors.

I did research about b12 and found out that ascorbic acid makes b12 unavailable to your body. Ascorbic acid is an additive in foods to protect the freshness. If you are have problems with fatigue check your food or supplements. This info came from the Mayo Clinic !

I was diagnosed back in 2010 with both pernicious & megaloblastic anemia which has caused damage my nervous system, bones and internal organs. Each period between my treatments gets shorter and shorter every single time. So I can really relate to Charlotte's story. Thanks for sharing. Paul.

Turn the music off we can’t hear him

I live in the USA. My neuro diagnosed my B12 deficiency. Before I was able to begin the injections, she ordered a test to find out if there were autoimmune antibodies present....and they were. This meant that my Intrinsic Factor had been destroyed leading to a final diagnosis of Pernicious Anemia. Intrinsic Factor is an enzyme found in the Duodenum that absorbs the B12 from the foods you eat and transports it throughout the body. The only way to get the B12 your body needs to function properly is with a B12 injection. It doesn't matter how much B12 rich foods or supplements you take in, without I.F. your body will become B12 deficient. Two symptoms I didn't hear mentioned was problems with balance and memory. These symptoms mimic Multiple Sclerosis and Dementia. I wonder how many people have been misdiagnosed with these two diseases when in all actuality it was a B12 deficiency. I am so sorry that those of you who live in the UK have such a difficult time getting treatment for B12 deficiency. Even here in the USA, our primary care doctors (you call them GPs) do not order a B12 blood test with routine bloodwork...we have to ask to have it included but the problem is most patients do not know to ask for it.

Ya gotta love pernicious anemia which is B12 death and daily methylB12 injections take SO LONG to work 🤬This is no fun neuropathy,dizziness,breathing problems,etc.etc. So daily self- injections for a year is all I can do

Praying for your total healing!

You should get a vitamin that helps you speak clearly. I cant understand what you are saying

Here in the u.k the G.P will not test my B12 or Vit D levels...says im on 3 monthly injections so it isnt low...Had really bad Vit D in the past will not test for that either...Told me i had fibromyalgia 12 years ago cldnt walk move etc...then they done blood tests for med review and i had the above and Pernicious Anemia had to have blood transfusion etc after Fibro went away felt great...Now im feeling terrible again and Anxiety is terrible...got all the symptoms of b12 n vit d deff again but wont test my bloods...Disgusting what some of these Drs are doing

All talk and glossy unmeant advertisements, on what they could do. But won't! Won't reply to emails for 2 weeks besides both mail. Won't answer a week's worth of calls. On calling H.O. woman denies all services to multiple rape & sexual assault care home survivor, living with a narssacistic daughter gaslighting her... all they could suggest is to contact the courts. Really?!? What a bunch of useless tongue Waggers this mob are. They've had their chance, now I get to show them how I treat people who lie and give me Mum the cold shoulder. Ce'st la vie. They may be a law firm, just not a benevolent firm full of the care they allude to. Must be better than them, just goes to show what a mouthy bunch of no-goods they are.

This is exactly what is happening to me . Ive just had a letter from the hospital saying ive had low levels since 2020 and im now waiting for 2 weeks to get the injections because there are no eaelier appointments

The exploitation of children is pure evil 😡

Englisch B12 tablets with 50ug are nothing and if you already have low values ​​you always have problems with absorption in the intestines, 50ug is nothing at all. I have tablets with 5000ug that was the only thing that helped quickly after the injections, taking them in phase white

And the problem is that most doctors rely solely on potentially misleading serum blood tests & know diddly squat about the clinical symptoms. Why are serum tests potentially misleading? Because they do not show cellular status, nor do they determine how much of the B12 is active or inactive. If most is inactive & has failed at some point in the conversion process, it cannot get into the cells & the test result may be meaningless. There is no ‘gold standard’ test for B12 deficiency. Homocysteine & MMA tests ‘may’ help, but are not always accurate either. If someone has a low B12 level, then absorption may be the issue, however if the problem lies within the several step conversion process, you test result may be ‘normal’ or even high - and a high level may even be a ‘red flag’ that it’s not being utilised very well at cellular level. Sadly, because of this, way too many people are falling through the gaping cracks in the system. My own husband’s B12 deficiency was dismissed at a level of 360, but because I am very familiar with the many symptoms, most of which he had, generous amounts of ‘Active’ (Methylcobalamin & Adenosylcobalamin) sublingual liquid B12 got him back on his feet within days. Bear in mind that other B vitamin deficiencies may be a factor too, especially B1/Thiamine - and one of its many roles is in energy (ATP) production. It too can masquerade as many other diseases & ailments. Modern Beriberi is very much alive & kicking………

What was your blood level please? Mine was 300 thank you

What was the name of those more thorough tests the doctors gave her which showed the B12 deficiency. I have all the symptoms of the deficiency, even my mum gets injections, but blood tests always comes back as normal for me. Maybe a thorough test will show if that is the cause. Difficult talking to the doctors about this though, they ignore you when the tests show normal.

How would you even know if you had a vitamin deficiency, until it was too late?

Hope you get better jimmy,,I am going through the same....

Remember this: Drs. don't study NUTRITION.. everyone needs to be their own advocate and do their own research..

Sounds a lot like total shit to me

Hey Charlotte, You need to see a kinesiologist, he can detect and maybe heal your nerve damage by activating your inner healing power plus an orthomolecular doctor (a nutritionist is not qualified enough for such an extreme case like yours). Martina Leukert here in Germany is such an orthomolecular specialist (not a doctor though), send her an E-Mail, and you might get some helpful feedback. Cheers

Yea been there too. Mine were at 92. I had even more symptoms. I started taking 1000-2000mcg daily and in 6 weeks everything was good

Wow, i just got told i have no b12 in my body and that my liver and spleen are enlarged, for 4 weeks on Tuesday i get a b12 shot then sublingual tablets . Hopefully i get some change cause i feel this story and looking into things to help myself .

Just self Inject

Lock out-tag out my friend. Its taught in major manufacturing industries religiously.

Am like this but dont want to go to docs so brought a vitamin mineral dna test to do at home

Nice video. B12 plays a role in the production of stomach acid, which is crucial for proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. Ayurveda emphasizes the importance of strong digestion for overall health. You can try Planet Ayurveda Vitamin b12 capsules.

This happened to me. I wasn't able to walk for a two months. Doctors were no help at all. I got help through a facebook group on B-12 deficiency. I treated myself and now a few months later have made a full recovery. Have to give myself self-injections every other day. Thanks for sharing your story. Honestly, even well respected doctors of neurology have zero experience in B-12 deficiency to the point that it is scary.

These “doctors” man. It takes a miracle doctor to figure out what’s wrong.

Very interesting, thanks for sharing. It would be so much better without that awful background music.

My nurse said if I don’t get regular injections of b12 I will die if heart failure

YOUR LAWYERS ARE IN FUCKING SYDNEY! PAY YOUR FUCKING BILLS!

If you dare to question a gp, healthcare worker in NHS, or have the audacity to research, then confront or query....Trust me, you'll suffer the consequences and not get what you need. This is what I did and I basically now just speak with my local pain clinic and the consultant Pharmacist attached to my crap gp practice. I'm so sorry you've had to go through this. The wickedness is palpable, especially to dobit to a young person. 😤😡🤬🤬

How bad were his injuries, and did he get any compensation?

Makes me so angry to hear these stories. I have no trust in the medical system at all, they are only interested in making appointments that lead to nothing so they can make money.

GP’s are useless. Important your own B12 from Germany and get well. S & G wouldn’t help me because covid was involved. Long Covid is the biggest case of B12 deficiency on the planet. The symptoms are the same. My local MP is taking this up with the department of health.

Great video Ray. Thank you for all you do in this very important field of work.

I am b 12 deficient . My level was 80 😂 And I got joint pain Pains and needle Coldness One night my both legs were totally numb. My gp gave me 1 mg b 12 ever day for three months

Doctors are horrible. The minute you have suffered from any sort of mental health issues they then blame everything on that. Medical gaslighting.

Ew she’s white
