Hi there,

i was dignosed with celiac disease in Mar05, my doc advised me to take B12 shots, which i took every week for 4 weeks, after that i moved to florida and could not make arrangements for receiving the shots, my energy levels started to drop, B12 tablets did not seems to help, and ulcers in mouth started to grow bigger. right then two weeks back some one suggested the sublingual tablets from Twinlab (500 mcg), i find these very useful. i have been taking one tablet every day and my energy level is improving. The same strength of 500 mcg from other tablets proved to be useless. Now i don't know how long i should continue on these tablets. Does anyone have experience with the sublingual tablets?

thanks

nitin

:P

I take sublingual b12 vitamins. They are supposed to be really good because of the way it releases into the body. I take the Enzymatic Therapy brand

That's great news! I'm not taking vitamin B12 myself unless it is in Boost or a multivitamin but I am thinking about taking B vitamins to improve my energy levels. Glad to hear that the Twinlab (500 mcg) have helped yours :) Is Twinlab only vitamin B12 or are there other things in it?

If your doc will agree, you can also give yourself the B-12 (and B-complex and folic acid if needed) using an insulin needle. That way you do not have to make arrangements to get them done. I have not tried the sublingual version, but the shots sure help.

I know I would never have the stomach to do that. :blink:

I found Sublingual B Total liquid drops

Nutraceutical Solutions 800-856-7040

www.eliquidsolutions.com

I eat complex carbs (potato or rice) the night before

training and/or games, take the liquid

in the morning and then right before activity

so that I don't "crash" during training

and games. Worked like a charm during my

recent tournament.

I figured as long as I'm attempting to be athletic

will be how long I continue with the supplements.

Q: did any of you have pheripherial neuropathy due to B12 deficiency that lead to needing the shots?

Oh. mytummyhurts, you'd be amazed at what you can do if necessity dictates it. I know I have been.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm. Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam. The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach. The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery. Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years. Close call!

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and...

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes...

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      I had MRI scan a few years ago showing everything normal, and now it's no longer triggering the nerve pain when I bow my head today - it only seemed to happen yesterday, and that was the only time it happened! Just seemed weird as no movement has caused my usual nerve pain before. It's normally just random.
