I just wanted to post.
Please be careful of what type of B12 you take.
I believe I was not getting enough B12, even though my blood tests said I was OK.
I had never taken B12 seriously, I thought because I was taking regular vitamins and B vitamins I would have been getting more than enough. But I was not. I had symptoms but my doctor did not pick up on them
I beleive I have an absorption problem though.And taking teh crappy typical vitamin B12 has made me quite sick.
I beleive that methylcobalamin (bioactive) is the good version and cobalamin is the crappy one. (Please correct me if I am wrong here)
For years now I have had terrible mouth ulcers, extremely bad ulcers, and I was getting very sick with the attacks of them. I was getting flu like symptoms, aches pains and exhaustion whenever i got them bad. It was horrible. it was like always having the flu with them.
It was getting worse and worse. At first it wasnt that bad but then the attacks of them got closer and closer and the terrible aches and pains were getting worse and worse. then it was like constant mouth ulcers. My tongue was white, sore throats, and throat ulcers. I felt like sh*t basically. MY doctor was pretty usless and has not taken me seriously. Like she did not beleive how sick I was feeling, or that I was feeling sick from a flu when i got the ulcers, not that the attacks of ulcers were making me sick.
I got blood tests; it said B12 was low normal. I started taking more B12 and Iron. (the usual pills from the health store) I also spent a small fortune on medical stuff to try and combat the ulcers. They got better a tiny amount, not much though.
Anyway
By accident I got some bioactive B12. And my mouth ulcers have cleared up INSTANTLY. The ulcer i had when i took the bioactive b12, did not turn into the usual crater. I got no white tongue, no flu symptoms. My body could handle it and heal it well.
I’ve not had mouth ulcers for two weeks now. This is a miracle for me!! I was feeling so sick and sore and my body was so painful its like a miracle.
Seriously. This bioactive B12 was like a magic pill!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't believe that the crappy B12 in multivitamins is allowed. Obviously my body can't use it properly. But there is no warning!
Please make sure you get a decent B12 and don't end up like me with some symptoms that are not really listed as B12 deficiency (apparently a sore tongue and mouth are symptoms but I couldn't find anything about ulcers)
....and my GP certainly didn't think I had a deficiency! I can't think of any other explanation and it must be i was deficient and not absorbing the stuff from the regular vitamin pills.
I see my doctor next week, I wonder if she will beleive me. I have no real proof it was a definency, so she probably wont beleive me. Except for years , slowly getting worse, I am feeling terribly sick and getting masses of ulcers and then instantly cured after taking this better bioactive B12.
