Please get your B12 checked before taking any. Taking it skews the result. This is according to my neurologist, who’s ordered thatvI take 1000 mcg daily with sublingual tablets. My body doesn’t absorb it well, so it’s sublingual or injections. I’ve done both. I’ll take it indefinitely according to my neurologist. It takes a long time to restore the body.

I have hypothyroidism, take medication and have my thyroid level checked regularly. It’s been ok for many years with meds, but I will mention it again when I see the rheumatologist next week. Thanks for the info. I also had constipation, but that has cleared since I started B12 treatment.

Thank you so much for the information you provided regarding Vitamin B12. I have never, at least that I know of, had a B12 test. What is involved in testing for B12? I’m beginning to wonder if having hypothyroidism has something to do with loosing our taste/smell. I met someone last year on vacation that was gaining weight fast, as I was, and had lost her taste/smell as well with Covid. She was also diagnosed with hypothyroidism. As we know, hypothyroidism slows our systems down, so could be the reason it’s taking so long to come back. I’m guessing at this point, but it makes sense to me.
