MS or Vitamin B12 Deficiency - What are the Symptoms

Is there an association between vitamin B12 deficiency and Multiple Sclerosis (MS)? Many of the symptoms are similar such as fatigue, numbness, cognitive difficulties, and more. In this video I share why we need vitamin B12, where we get it from, and how we may become B12 deficient.

    I've been getting B12 shots from my doctor for a few months now. and I've noticed my finger tips are no longer numb. I just finished the prescription for Vitamin D, and soon I do a blood work so it will be interesting to see what they find as improvements.

    We should be able to get B12 from bread. Bread? Yes, Bread. Slow rise bread made from nutrient-rich ancient whole grain, using natural multi-strain sourdough fermenting agent. But few of us are able to get or make highly nutritious bread now, sadly. Most of our bread is made using highly hybridised grain, loaded with chemicals & stripped of its nutritional powerhouses, the germ & bran. What is left is then made into ‘bread’ using additive ‘improvers’ & made the fast-track Chorleywood way - churned out within one to two hours which does not allow for the much longer ferment needed to generate all the extra nutrients, including B12. It also only uses one strain yeast ‘Saccharomyces Cervisiae’ which generates carbon dioxide for rising, but not all the lovely B Vitamins.

    Hey there hope ur doing great😊 i have MS. Diagnosed last year. Not on DMTs. Im 36. Im in a wheelchair snce 6 months and my muscles have weakned. I had many infections that lead to relapses and dizziness with ataxia so i had to depend on the wheelchair. According to drs i have function and i should be able to walk again but my neuro said he doesnt believe in physiotherapy and never recommends vitamins. I guess any dr who knows ur not on dmts wants me to lose ability to do anythng just to say o its because ur not on a dmt and physiotherapy is known to be very important in MS. I refuse to let him put me down. Just wanted to share my story because all neuros ive been too basically refuse to help my symptoms or do physio jst because they wont respect my decision about dmts.

    Thanks for watching! You are right I didn’t mention it because it depends on where you live for recommendations and other factors that your doctors may take into account. I try to be very careful on my channel to not offer medical advice that is very specific like that. 😉 I can share that my doctor wants it be 200-1100 pg/mL.

    I’m not a doctor, but my research has found: nothing below 200 in the US; nothing below 500 is the European standard. My neurologist wants nothing below 800 because I have CIDP. The shots couldn’t raise it enough, so I take sublingual B-12. Your doctor will know what’s best for you.
