MS or Vitamin B12 Deficiency - What are the Symptoms

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

Do you know your B12 numbers?

[@elliejobonney2926]

No. I'll ask my doctor to test me. 👍

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

@@elliejobonney2926 such a good idea! It may help with some symptoms.

[@NonaMaryGrace1952]

Not off the top of my head but I do know it is in the normal range. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓

“More studies are needed” - quote of the day!! The longer I go on learning about MS, the more it seems that there is such a lot that is (as yet) unknown 🤔

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

Right?! Seems like every study I read says “more studies are needed” 😉

[@grinch4567]

[@nikdrown]

I’m with this and am sure there is a connection. Getting B12 intake up has seriously helped a lot of my symptoms.

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

So glad it is helping!

We should be able to get B12 from bread. Bread? Yes, Bread. Slow rise bread made from nutrient-rich ancient whole grain, using natural multi-strain sourdough fermenting agent. But few of us are able to get or make highly nutritious bread now, sadly. Most of our bread is made using highly hybridised grain, loaded with chemicals & stripped of its nutritional powerhouses, the germ & bran. What is left is then made into ‘bread’ using additive ‘improvers’ & made the fast-track Chorleywood way - churned out within one to two hours which does not allow for the much longer ferment needed to generate all the extra nutrients, including B12. It also only uses one strain yeast ‘Saccharomyces Cervisiae’ which generates carbon dioxide for rising, but not all the lovely B Vitamins.

Oh? Interesting! I had not seen that. I will,definitely look into it!

Good morning xxx Watching from London UK 🇬🇧 I know need to eat better but I don't prioritise preparing food over keeping the house clean.

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

Good morning/good afternoon! Thanks for watching! I know food prep can be such a task. Maybe focus on easy to prepare foods or batch cooking so you can have healthy leftovers that are easy to heat up?

[@grinch4567]

I’m the other way around, tbh. Prioritise is a good word for it: there are only so many “spoons per day” 👍🙂

[@Nancy-dz1vo]

Thank you! I've just started taking B12 in the last couple of weeks.

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

Awesome! Thanks for watching!

[@marissaul9642]

Great video! Thank you for this information. 😊

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

Thanks so much!

[@NonaMaryGrace1952]

Hello this is very interesting. I have friends that actually got B12 shots they were feeling run down. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

Yes! I have heard the same thing!

[@davidarmstrong7549]

This is an extremely useful video. I have intention tremor in my left hand so maybe I should look into whether I am B12 defiant. If so then perhaps a supplement may help. 😊

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

Thanks for watching. I am glad you found it helpful! Perhaps supplementing we help!

Hey there hope ur doing great😊 i have MS. Diagnosed last year. Not on DMTs. Im 36. Im in a wheelchair snce 6 months and my muscles have weakned. I had many infections that lead to relapses and dizziness with ataxia so i had to depend on the wheelchair. According to drs i have function and i should be able to walk again but my neuro said he doesnt believe in physiotherapy and never recommends vitamins. I guess any dr who knows ur not on dmts wants me to lose ability to do anythng just to say o its because ur not on a dmt and physiotherapy is known to be very important in MS. I refuse to let him put me down. Just wanted to share my story because all neuros ive been too basically refuse to help my symptoms or do physio jst because they wont respect my decision about dmts.

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

Thanks for watching and sharing your story! Please continue to take exquisite care of yourself. Consider seeing a naturopathic doctor and a physical therapist that specializes in MS.

[@lararose9106]

@@EvenSoItIsWell Hi! i appreciate ur reply very much thank u🙏 i wont give up there must be a dr. That will help physiotherapy is a must for anyone with weakness and balance and im very upset that all the neuros ive been to let me end up in a wheelchair. I used to walk with a cane. Im seeing a neurosurgeon soon too sure he would recomnend physio. Thank u again for ur support😊

[@joycewright5386]

I was diagnosed in 2010 and never took dmts. I don’t even see a neuro anymore. He was kind of useless. Have you looked into LDN? Thousands use it for autoimmune diseases.

[@lararose9106]

@@joycewright5386 hey there how r u hope ur doing great😀 i have heard about it but never tried it..we r the same i guess! Gave up on neuros all they want is to force dmts and im looking for natural ways to stop progression like vitamins changing my diet and lifestyle as well as physiotherapy. How r u doing? Wishing u health and sending u my prayers😀

[@MinnieOnCam]

I've been getting B12 shots from my doctor for a few months now. and I've noticed my finger tips are no longer numb. I just finished the prescription for Vitamin D, and soon I do a blood work so it will be interesting to see what they find as improvements.

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

Excellent! I am so glad you saw improvements with your numbness. Keep me posted on your bloodwork results.

[@ldjt6184]

What level of B12 should we aim to be at for MS? I don't think I heard it mentioned in the video.

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

Thanks for watching! You are right I didn’t mention it because it depends on where you live for recommendations and other factors that your doctors may take into account. I try to be very careful on my channel to not offer medical advice that is very specific like that. 😉 I can share that my doctor wants it be 200-1100 pg/mL.

[@ldjt6184]

Ok, thanks! Mine is around 300. A little too low, I think. I'd like to try to get up to at least 600 pg/ml.@@EvenSoItIsWell

[@EvenSoItIsWell]

Excellent!

[@antiquehaven5596]

I’m not a doctor, but my research has found: nothing below 200 in the US; nothing below 500 is the European standard. My neurologist wants nothing below 800 because I have CIDP. The shots couldn’t raise it enough, so I take sublingual B-12. Your doctor will know what’s best for you.

[@ldjt6184]

@@antiquehaven5596 Thanks so much! I will aim for higher after seeing your reply. My last tested level was 294 but none of my doctors even mentioned the word B12 to me. They seem to lack a lot of important knowledge. I'm in Canada. Thanks for sending this info! :)
