Does Vitamin B-12 help with neuropathy?

Have Neuropathy in my feet, and luckily just weird feeling like walking on paper between my toes and just spreading back to my heels, Doctor just put me on B12 as he said I had a deficiency. Just starting recently so have not noticed anything different. Also on some pills for nerve problems but they dont seem to make any difference..

I do ,newly diagnosed with autonomic neuropathy

I posted a note regarding neuropathy and disability benefits. So I mentioned on one discussion that a doctor said too much B contributes to neuropathy. So I stoped B’s altogether.
So SS Disability denied me and I saw an attorney recently who said I should see a neurologist for testing since my last testing was 5 years ago. On Thursday I saw one. And she ran bloodwork.
On Friday I rcvd a call from her staff who said “the doctor says your blood work results are in. Your B12 is severely low. Almost non existent. And this is the cause of your neuropathy. (Well I don’t about that but…) And you need B12 shots right away. One shot every day next week Monday - Friday. Then 2 times a week. Then once a week (for how long? Idk yet).
Also your D is very low.”
So now starts the B12 journey.
🤷🏻‍♀️always something.
Also have an EMG scheduled November 14.

Are you still Anemic?
I was and they put me on injectable B12 2000mcg 3 times a week.
My next blood work had B12 >1500

I hope you get meaningful information from your EMG! As for B12, I’ve always been advised that low B12 isn’t good for you, even if you don’t have Neuropathy. I take supplements because I was on the low end of normal and my PCP 5 years ago believed that supplementing would help ease Neuropathy symptoms, so now I test higher than normal, but that’s ok to have with B12. I had a different doctor get alarmed once and told me to stop the B12. Confused, I did, and within days I started feeling weaker. So I started the B12 back and returned to my “normal”. That said, all doctors have told me to shy away from adding B6, that my diet has all I need and with PN, too much B6 is neurotoxic. (I’ve since been learning on here that there’s a type of B6 that’s not harmful, but my personal choice right now is to avoid all of it so I don’t have to read fine print and google whether it’s the right type, but if ever in need to change my regimen, I would look into it) Good luck with your shots and test!

I found that B12 injections have made a difference with neuropathy-pills did not work -- needed to be the injections. Also I took gabapinten for years and began having reactions. I gradually stopped it. My adult grandchildren gave me cannabis -- CBD-THC 1:3 oil to rub on legs and works better than gabapinten (sp?).

I concur with everything you’re saying. Just rcvd my 1st b12 shot today. I have another s grfuked Tuesday- Friday. Then once a week then once a month. Until they say to stop. We shall see. Best to you in you wellness efforts 💪🏼

I've had peripheral neuropathy ever since chemo for breast cancer. I can't drive it's been about 3 years now.
I'm finally going to be seeing a top notch neurologist. I'm on gabapentin. I'll write in the future if I learn anything at all that helps my feet with balance and numbness.

There is a private group through Facebook that talks about B6 causing neuropathy. I could not find a multiple vitamin that did not have B6 in it. So I am taking all my vitamins individually now and I no longer take the multiples. The only be vitamin that I take is B12. This private page on Facebook has a lot of information should you decide to contact them?

Have never taken B6,just started B12, but bought a bottle that says both, so not sure now. Will look up information thanks
