A. You will have to take B12 for the rest of your life. If you have neurologic symptoms due to B12 deficiency, the result of treatment depends on how early treatment was started in large part. Too late, and B12 will not reverse the symptoms. It depends too on whether the main cause of your symptoms is the peripheral nerve or the posterior columns of the spinal cord. A nerve heals about 1mm a day. ( rough estimate) so if you have numbness up 1 inch, figure 25 days for that inch. Most people have 'way more than that when the problem is discovered.
Make sure you have been carefully checked for other causes of numbness, weakness, pain-- CIDP, and the usual suspects- Diabetes ( with a glucose tolerance) heavy metals, collagen diseases,etc. Better to be careful and sure, that to use "Post hoc" reasoning and find out a year or two down the road something else was going on.

What are symptoms of being folate anemic?
Q. I just found out I am folate anemic. Vitamin B deficiency. Are my symptoms normal? Pale skin, cold hands and feet, lost of taste, boney face and depression and mood swings. Also my doctor told me to take supplements including vitamin B12, B6 and multi vitamins and they give me a B shot every 2 weeks. So how long will I suffer these symptoms?

Q. i've been really tired lately and losing weight, i weigh around 99lbs. i used to weigh 125lbs. i get really shakey and need to carry food with me. i get out of breath.and my hair is getting so dry and thin. i've said something to my doctor about the weight and he said you look fine, but i don't think it's normal to lose weight for no reason and i just don't feel well and i look awful too. i know taking medicine for reflux can cause vitamin b12 deficiency and i take nexium for years.
A. Sudden unexplained weight loss should always be investigated to find out the cause, especially if you also feel tired and shaky. Your doctor will want to check you for diabetes, overactive thyroid gland, hidden infections, and other causes of weight loss. He or she will probably arrange blood tests and a chest x-ray. Don't put off going - the sooner the cause is found, the sooner you can be treated and on the way to recovery.
Sometimes weight loss can be a sign of a depressive illness, and your doctor will want to know how you are feeling emotionally. In the meantime, try to eat a healthy diet. It can help to keep a food diary for a few days to see exactly what you are eating. Healthy between-meal-snacks such as fruit, muesli, smoked salmon sandwiches, and cheese can help you put on weight. High-carb foods such as rice, pasta and bread are also a good idea. good luck
