Diffetences between treated B12 deficiency and MS?

This is the place to ask questions if you have symptoms that suggest MS, but aren't yet diagnosed.

Diffetences between treated B12 deficiency and MS?

Post by kitINstLOUIS »

Had low B12 (220 pg/mL, no other tests for homocysteine or MMA), many psychiatric and pain symptoms resolved almost immediately after treatment with methyl B12.)

Have since had several episodes of severe muscle weakness and torso-based muscle spasms.

So how does one tease out myelin damage from B12 from MS-based autoimmune (presumably) attack?

Magnesium levels are good, can't take oral supps but Epsom salt baths brought up levels. Strict AI Paleo diet for 2 years to support celiac, and ai thyroid treatments. I eat tons of veggies daily, fish oil, higher quality meats.

Demyelination occurs in cases of B12 deficiency.
It seems that symptoms that continue to get better (or at least don't get worse) once a B12 issue has been definitely been fixed would be from a B12 issue.

May I ask what you mean by "good"?
