Suggest treatment for B12 deficiency
Patient: I have been diagnosed with a B12 deficeincy.  I received a shot and felt better.  10 days later I received another.  I was beginning to get low on energy after the second shot on day 3.  Days 4-7 my health dramatically declined.  My walk and balance was off, I was emotional and every task seemed like so much work.  I received a shot on day 7 and 8.  Today is day 8.  I feel about 50% better but I'm tired and my walk is off.  I also have a headache.  I saw a hemotologist yesterday to do more blood work.  He's looking for an intrinsic factor antibody (or something like that). Should I be seeing a neurologist as well? Doctor: Hi, dearI have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You jave vit b12 deficiency.  So treatment is vit b12 injection.  You should complete the course of vit b12 injections along with folic acid. Neuropathy is due to vit b12 deficiency.  No need to see a neurologist.  When your vit b12 level come back to normal, you will also feel improvement in neuropathy. No need to worry. Just be relaxed. Consult your haematologist and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic.
