I have had neuropathy in my feet for several years. I'm now 87 and recently it has spread up to near my knee. I take 1000 mcg of vitamin B-12 daily, but so far it hasn't helped. Suggestions?

I think B12 is difficult to absorb oral. When I was low on B12 my doc had me on a monthly injtion and my B12 went way up.

mbeeson5 , I am 82 I had BAD neuropathy with my LGMDr23, Gelsolin, Diabetes II, cancers everywhere. So I had a simple exome sequencing done by a small group of genetics labs. They all agreed on one thing. I have a gene that makes the body resist full use of turmeric. So I now take about 1/4 teaspoon in a cup of warm water every morning; and I have had only a couple spells of Neuropathy in two years. Just good old kitchen turmeric powder, first thing in the morning. oldkarl
