@johnbishop OH MY GOD - I just found something and I don't know what it means yet. But I searched here and no one mentioned IRON! So I've been taking B12 for 4 years? Injections every two weeks or month PLUS supplementation (Vitamin Code Raw for women) PLUS I took nutrition in college and I EAT PROPERLY. Fresh fruits, veggies, blah, blah...
I've had radiculopathy for years and now neuropathy in my left leg from damaged spinal nerves compressed for too many years. But, the neuropathy kinda vanished when I went to eating a couple eggs PLUS glycinated iron pills, plus the B12 injection. I think I was low on iron! I don't know which is coming first - the B12 isn't doing its job or the blood cells are doing theirs. But in all the info here -- no one mentioned iron deficiency! I looked it up: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/30881284/
Saw my doctor on Thursday, and she was amazed that no one had ever looked at my pain in relation to not processing proteins correctly, so we are going to do some new labs. I am very excited. I am 68 and have been suffering this year with undiagnosed neuropathy pains. The cortisone injections last for a week and then all the pains return. I am SO excited that I am on to something, I want to scream it from the rooftops! I didn't know who to tell! Will you pass it on to mentor Rachel? I saw some comments she made about Neuropathy. Didn't know how to call her out.

@loriesco To make sure another member sees your post just add their member name. Rachel @rwinney should receive an email notification for my post here and can see your post that I am responding to.

It’s great to hear that you now have something that’s helping. Shouting out to the rooftops is allowed!

Thank you @loriesco for thinking of me. You sound very hopeful! I'm wishing you the best with your new plan of action.
