Taking first 10,000 mg. per day methylcobalamin sublingual first for one month, then 2000 mg. per day henceforth, has restored my health. I lost the years between 35 and 45 to this deficiency. Only an alternative M.D. in metabolic disorders caught the diagnosis. The strangest symptom was the asymmetrical numbess and lack of strength in one leg. Thought I had MS there for a while. I like the NOW brand of sublingual methylcobalamin.

I read that MS is caused by the myelin sheath ( the membrane covering the spinal chord and and nerves in the brain too) being damaged. There is some controversy as to why it's being damaged. Vitamin B-12 stimulates the healing of the myelin, there are medical studies, which have shown that. When the myelin is gone in patches, it's like the insulation being gone from electric chords, and the nerves can't conduct impulses properly, which causes the weakness, nubmness, etc. i.e. the MS symptoms.

So it's possible that you had some damage of the myelin, which B-12 helped heal.

Thanks for sharing your experience.

It is unfortunate that the "mainstream" medical science is so closed minded, and slow to even pay attention to not only "alternative medicine", but to their own well documented studies. What I told you above is stuff I read in mainstream genuine medical journals, yet doctors don't give MS patients B-12.
