Nerves are coated with insulating myelin. That's made from cobalamin or vitamin B12. Many people poorly absorb B12 from food especially elderly because we have less acid.
Try taking B12 supplement daily. Alcohol stops it's absorbtion.

@jamessaxo yes!

I was prescribed high B12 from my neurologist, but she said to *not* take B6.

@jamessaxo
It would be advisable to have the Vitamin B12 level checked before adding a B12 supplement.
