➡️ Increased Levels of Fatigue
Fatigue is one of the most common signs of vitamin B12 deficiency because this vitamin is involved in the production of red blood cells. Red blood cells contain a property known as hemoglobin which transports oxygen to all of the other cells and tissues of the body.
➡️ Pale Skin
The skin of those who are deficient in vitamin B12 tends to have a pale or slightly jaundiced appearance. This sign is also due to the role that vitamin B12 plays in the production of red blood cells.
➡️ Mood Swings
Studies found that people who are deficient in vitamin B12 have higher homocysteine levels which can cause damage to brain tissue and interrupt the signals that travel to and from the brain.
➡️ Dizziness
A vitamin B12 deficiency leads to anemia, which can result in feelings of shortness of breath. Over time, this can make you feel weak, lightheaded, and off balance.
➡️ Blurred Vision
Earlier, I mentioned that a lack of vitamin B12 can lead to damage within the nervous system. This includes the optic nerve which is a bundle of more than 1 million nerve fibers that transmits sensory information for vision to occur.
➡️ Tingling in Your Hands or Feet
As you can see, nerve damage is quite common with a vitamin B12 deficiency. Another side effect of nerve damage is the feeling of numbness or tingling in your hands and feet.
➡️ Difficulty Concentrating
This is known as a cognitive impairment which means that you may have a hard time concentrating, thinking, or reasoning. It can even include memory loss as well. Some studies have linked a vitamin B12 deficiency with dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease.
➡️ Changes in Mobility
If left untreated, it can disrupt your coordination and balance which can lead to serious injuries that result from falls. Once again, this occurs as a result of nerve damage caused by a lack of vitamin B12.
➡️ Loss of Appetite
Your digestive tract can also be affected when your body is not taking in enough vitamin B12. With fewer red blood cells, there is less oxygen reaching your gut. A lack of oxygen in this area can result in nausea and diarrhea.
➡️ Mouth Pain
If you've noticed that your tongue is swollen, inflamed, or red in appearance, this is a condition known as glossitis. This condition often occurs when a vitamin B12 deficiency is present.

Oof..got ever darn one listed
I have all of these but still not sure lmao
Forgot Pale Skin
This is not a joke, this video is partially responsible for saving my life. I’ve been in the ER 4x in a few weeks & 4 different doctors. I wish one of them had ordered a vitamin blood panel. My sister is a nurse & suggested it. If not, something simple almost killed me despite trying to eat healthy. The quality or the food in America is so bad I can’t get proper nutrition from food alone. Keep making these videos.
Take 6000mcg per day. Buy on Amazon. Will cure you. Cured me in 3 months and I was dying💃
same thing happened to my wife. All of a sudden had all kinds of problems. In and out of ER. Drs all tried to say "just depression and need antidepressants" She asks several times for vitamin blood work, none would order. She found a Dr that would and her B12 was totally gone, along with other B vitamins. She did all her own research and figured out she had a gluten allergy and her body was not absorbing B vitamins. She went on B12 injections and immediately started feeling better along with cutting out gluten, she is a totally different person now. Drs do NOT care about your health. They only care about their bottom line and pushing big pharma poison
Tell us more about your case. No info almost.
Be aware sometimes taking supplements do not work. I have Chrones disease, ie bowel disease. My bowel does not absorb the b12 so I now have injections. The main source of b12 in food is red meat, so all you vegetarians out there take something. The red meat sometimes sets my Chrones disease off, so I have cut my red meat intake.
Run from where these so called Drs. are. This is a basic go to, with these symptoms. If they didn't check your hemoglobin, don't see any of them ever again. Bad.
At 35, I almost died from B12 deficiency. It was missed by more than one doctor, including a neurologist who thought I had MS, which B12 deficiency eventually mimics. By the time I was diagnosed, I had symptoms of dementia, could barely stand, physically couldn't speak at times, and a laundry list of other symptoms. I can't stress how unbelievably sick I felt. It actually was a traumatic experience, and never should have gotten to the point it did with me. I now know that I have malabsorption problems, so I do B12 shots and take sublingual tablets. It's absolutely insane that vitamin deficiencies aren't focused on more in medical school, and checked more often by doctors. These things are literally what make your body function.
It's called the Forgotten Illness because doctors are no longer taught about it in Med School.
I believe most of our health issues extends from poor diet or certain vitamins or minerals deficiency, and most of the doctors are only focusing on what medication to treat what symptoms, but not about prevention.
I do hospital chart reviews for insurance billing. Where I work almost every new admission has their B 12 level drawn automatically.
eat some eggs or red meat and you will say goodbye to your b12 deficiency in minutes to a couple hours if its not too severe.
@@julirohfit8570 some people like me don't absorb the VB12. I eat red meat.
The comment section on this post is as informative as the post itself. Thank you everyone.
Years ago my grandfather was diagnosed with "Pernicious Anemia", which was what they called a B12 deficiency at the time (back in the 1920's or 1930's, or so - I don't know when the name changed). It was regarded as fatal. A doctor had read a paper published in a medical journal and thought he could use an experimental therapy with him. The therapy involved chewing small bits of raw calves liver, about the size of a sugar cube, until it was almost gone. He had to do this two or three times a day. My grandfather was one of three patients on this therapy, and he did this for several years. He recovered. Some years later a drug company came up with an extract that became the basis for a prescription medication. The local newspaper featured him in a story about this. The reporter asked him about the other two patients. "They didn't like the calves liver, so they stopped. They died." The drug company furnished medication to him, free, for the rest of his life.
Vitamin B12 is combined with a protein called intrinsic factor in your stomach. This mix of vitamin B12 and intrinsic factor is then absorbed into the body in part of the gut called the distal ileum. Pernicious anaemia causes your immune system to attack the cells in your stomach that produce the intrinsic factor, which means your body is unable to absorb vitamin B12. My wife has this condition and has to have a B12 injection every three months. You can definitely tell when it is wearing off. Another issue, which was not mentioned in the video, is that she was unable to get pregnant and kept having a miscarriage. Once she started having the injections, she became pregnant.
@@ashturns61268 news
Low b12 or environmental from lack of good diet is very different then pernicious anemia. I have to do my own shots every other week due to pernicious anemia. I could take all the b12 pills I want and my gut can't absorb it. It's not a condition that goes away. I had to start giving myself injections many years ago because I can't drive due to epilepsy and it became difficult to get to a doctors office for a simple injection so often. Yet despite maintaining my b12 and folate I still have megaloblastic anemia which can occur after years of b12 and folate issues. You can do everything right and still struggle to keep things from going wrong.
Pernicious anemia? What vegans get if they don't take supplements. Proof that a vegan diet is not healthy, as it has to be supplemented with vitamins.
@@normamimosa5991 YES!!!
The best form of B12 to take is METHYLcobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin. Also , it's a good idea to take all B vitamins together in a quality B Complex formula, rather than separately. Stay healthy everybody!
Can you state why this is better as I have vit B12 deficiency due to Pernicious Aneamia meaning I have no intrinsic factor in my stomach so have no biding factor for b12 also my red blood cells are larger than normal.
@@angiestone1966, methyl version is bio available. Your body gets to skip the step of converting cyanocobalamin to methyl version to process it. We learned that genetic variants like COMT and MTHFR also affect the conversion of B12. My daughter recently saw a functional medicine doc, was tested thru 23 and me health and traits and the data uploaded to another site recommended by the doc. We learned she cannot process efficiently B9 and B12 because her methylation ability is down regulated. So the methyl versions have made a big difference in her health as they get used more effectively. Hope that helps.
@karen D. Who is a functional medicine Dr?
@@awatev DR MARK HYMAN..SEE HIS KZhead CHANNEL
I hear many people using in their disclaimer to check with your doctor. For years we have put doctors on a pedestal. This was partially due to big Pharma pushing this because doctors are used to push their pills. Times are changing. We now know that they are not the experts on medicines, the Internet is. Use the net and listen to different disciplines of healthcare for answers to your questions.
I remember my mother having all of these symptoms years ago. She went to doctor after doctor after doctor who all told her she had a "B12 deficiency". Even gave her B12 shots. Needless to say nothing changed and a lot of her symptoms stayed. She finally found a doctor, who finally after 2-3 year later, told her she has neuropathy. I love my mother more than words but unfortunately she is in a nursing home w/ dementia now. She will be 64 in March. Breaks my heart 💔
The symptoms are so confusing.A lot of diseases have these specific symptoms.For years i complained at local clinic about this symptoms.Firstly they suspect sugar,then blood pressure,cholestrol,iron deficiency,sent blood samples away.After môre than five years no answer.Because I seemed healthy,nobody take me seriously.But you can't see pain and confused brain that forget things in seconds.And I'm just 47. Nobody will understand what you go through,just as nobody will understand what is in your mother's heart .Especially when she experience clear moments.All I can do is wish you well.
God bless her .
@@mrkshinwari6033thank you. It's been rough to say the least. She moved to MS to live w/ her best friend in 12' & I was still living elsewhere when in 18' our house went up in flames. Her best friend wanted me to come get her bc in the end she needed her privacy. With everything that had happened at that time I couldn't, I had no where to bring her back to. So her BF put her in a nursing home where she slowly started getting early on set dementia and where is has progressed since. It's a struggle between my heart and mind bc I promised both my parents I would NEVER put them in a place like that unless I absolutely had no other choice. We live in SC now so it's definitely a lot further to her now. I want to get her transferred here where we are soon. Just the look she gives me when I am able to go visit with her. Almost like she's still there somewhere but just can't get out. She remembers my niece, my brothers little girl who will be 11 soon, but she will never get to know my daughter who turns 2 tmrw. I lost every photo I ever had of my mother, of my brother and I when we were babies and so much more in that house fire. It sucks.
@@jordanhall517 Jordan I can understand your feelings its very sad 😔 don't lose hope pray from almighty GOD and trust him everything will ok she will be with you 1 day when GOD wish and right time comes.
@@henkmeiring01 thank you so much. My mother was/is the sweetest person you could have ever known, like most moms. I'm so sorry you had to experience going through what you went through. A good doctor doesn't just say it's one thing, they go through every option it could possibly be and get down to what it actually is. That's what her last doctor, the one who said she has neuropathy, did. He didn't hesitate to get to the bottom of what was going on. Her neuropathy got so bad before going into the nursing home that she was numb from her waist down. Started in her feet and just worked it's way up. She actually got into an accident about a year and a half before the nursing home where is crushed her right leg and she had to have a rod put in, a skin graft and they had to clip the tendons in her toes just to straighten them back out. I wish she had never moved away to MS.
Please note B12 deficiency is an insidious and dangerous condition. I had it for many years before it was diagnosed (due to ridiculously low lab ranges). There is a glycoprotein called Intrinsic Factor, secreted by your gut mucosa that is essential for B12 absorption. Atrophic gastritis causes this to be destroyed and you can no longer absorb B12. You then have to have B12 injections for life. High Homocysteine from B12 deficiency can also cause damage to heart vessels which is what happened to me. It can cause permanent damage to your nervous system. The very first symptom is bad fatigue. The feet and hands tingling that he mentions eventually leads to peripheral neuropathy which can also be permanent. It can also cause Subacute Combined Degeneration of the Spinal Cord. A lot of doctors don't take it seriously enough.
What is the cure for this??? I think I am also having that trouble that my body is not absorbing b12
What is your symptoms please tell us thnx
@@kangsaab6456 I have bad legs fatigue sir any idea
I have been diagnosed with atrophic gastritis since 2007. I have been suffering profound fatigue, shortness of breath hypoxemia, and have been on permanent oxygen therapy since 2010 and the doctors don't know why. I've noticed all my blood work shows me to have macrcytosis. Meaning I have very large and too few red blood cells. But..... My B12 level came back looking normal. I'm already on Folic Acid for being deficient in that. But.... I think I have Functional B12 deficiency. I just don't know how to bring it up to my doctors without sounding like a hypochondriac who surfs the web for medical problems all day.
Thank u so much for your information
Oh my gosh! My husband has all these symptoms you told in this video! He’s going to watch this! Thank you very much!
It took over a year of appointments where I was telling my doctor I was exhausted before I found out it was low B12. A year if being told it was because I was aging (I’d just turned 30) and/or because of weight (which had been stable for years). A solid year of going “this isn’t a normal exhaustion. I know exhaustion. This is more” Eventually it took going to a different doctor because of dizziness and having a really slow processing time (I could barely stand to teach a lesson, and was starting to have trouble processing when my students simply asked me to use the washroom…. I’d stare for a few seconds before processing what they asked). Turned out my B12 was incredibly low. Over a year of trying to get help and not being listened to.
I had a very similar experience but i was low on iron, i was anaemic. Very exhausted, could barely function, nosebleeds, i even collapsed from exhaustion after laughing. I was 15 and the school nurse just kept telling me to go to bed earlier. 😑
This is, unfortunately very common when a woman complains of not feeling well 😞. We are considered, hormonal, hypochondriacs and told it's all in our heads. My sister had complained repeatedly to both her GP and her OBGYN about severe pain especially during intercourse. She was told to literally sit in a tub of hot water with a tampon and to essentially mimic intercourse with it so she could "adjust" and it was basically psychological. Turns out she had a tubular pregnancy and damn near died when it burst her fallopian tube. 🤬🤬🤬
I am a nurse, have a degree in nutrition, and a family history of vitamin B12 deficiency and couldn't get a doctor to believe I was B12 deficient. I started treated myself and saved my life. Finally I told my new PCP I was treating myself. I told her she could either help me or I would continue to treat myself.
Not having energy and being tired in the morning caused me to depend on coffee way too much! I struggled through the day and thought I was depressed. B12 and taking all your vitamins together really helps!!!
I never had exhaustion but had to have vb 12 injections,.
Also having large red blood cells is a sign of B12 deficiency. I keep seeing it in my labs for about 8 years and asked about it to many doctors they shrugged it off. Finally a new doctor caught it and ordered more labs. I lacked the intrinsic factor. B12 was insanely low. Unfortunately most of the damage was done by then. I do injections monthly now and I'm doing much better.
I JUST discovered this after seeing it on lab reports for the past few years. It’s insane that not one doctor ever said anything. I’ve been going through my labs, treating my own self 🤦🏽♀️
Very helpful. I think my doctor had mentioned I had Vitamin B12 Deficiency, but did nothing for it. I suffer from all you said. Now to March back to my Doctor and have a Woman to Doctor talk!
I loved this information and actually had a co worker that was diagnosed with this condition. I would like to critic the narration, though. It reminded me of Beuller's day off. It was dry, but information given was what got me through video. Again I loved info and thank you for sharing.
Really great video; I never knew just how important vitamin B12 actually is, thank you for taking the time to put this information together.
Thanks for posting this man. I just got diagnosed with the deficiency and this truly helped me seek the help I needed after feeling lost for weeks.
A simple deficiency that can have a very serious impact on you're health people. Valuable information with a very responsible, balanced & measured tone from the commentator. Well done 👏
The author failed to mention a very significant cause leading to the vitamin B deficiency. You could eat tons of foods high in content of this vitamin and still suffer severely from lack of B12 The reason for the condition is that your stomach, for some unknown reason, has stopped producing a certain secrete needed for the absorption of this vitamin which we normally take in from food ( By the way our body needs only a tiny amount of this vitamin ). Patients used to die from this kind of B 12 deficiency . Nowadays one can easily be helped by skilled doctors who assign small doses of B12 injections Every month or two And you keep well and safe.
@Roza Ashv thank you for mentioning this.
Chewable B12 is a good supplement. Chewing the supplement helps with absorption because the mouth will start breaking the supplement down making it easier to absorb. The reason the stomach produces less intrinsic factor and acid is not unknown. It can simply be aging, and also people take antacids which neutralizes stomach acid.
@@sunmoon-84 thank you god bless you
According to my doctor, B-12 injections are no longer given, only through intravenous...why I don't know, I would have to research that topic. I went in for b-12 injection, and she had already seen my labs on hand...she said, one would have to be extremely low and only be given intravenous...I was blown away. When I was in my twenties, I had to go in weekly to get an injection and I felt better. Those were the good days.
@@H4me7215 you could ask your dr.to prescribe cyanocobalamin injection plus syringes which can be dispensed by the pharmacist in your local pharmacy. Then bring it to your dr.s office to be given by the nurse once a month or if you know someone who is a nurse they can give you the injection too. Btw cyanocobalamin is a injectable form of vitamin B 12. If all that fail if you can buy high potency of B12 sublingual tablet which must be placed under your tongue to be able to absorbed y your body.
Good video, with loads of useful information. 👍
I recently had to start injections of B12 for my husband- he had a large tumor removed a year ago and the surgeon resected his bowel. He’s fine now but his dr told him that not being able to absorb certain vitamins after that surgery is common. He feels so much better now! I’m going to have my levels checked as I am experiencing some of these same symptoms! Thanks for the info!
Hope you are feeling much better soon!
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION IT WAS VERY HELPFUL.
This video was so, so interesting. Thanks for all this information. I have seen these symptoms...
Not to belittle what others have gone through, I developed a B12 deficiency on a vegetarian diet. It was not until I was browsing an early nutritional 'bible' that I recognized the cracks at the corners of my mouth as low B-12. At the time I was welcoming the loss of weight, but it was getting out of control.
Good thing you figured it out, I hope you made a full recovery! Vegetarians and vegans definitely need to keep track on their B12 and use supplements or fortified foods when available.
Do u include eggs and dairy in vegetarian diet? Cuz dairy and eggs are good sources of b12 I'm vegetarian from birth ,but I drink 300g of milk and 2 eggs daily which satisfies the b12 requirement(2- 3 micro grams of b12) ,and I didn't take any b12 tablets and I'm perfectly fine Hope this helps u 😊
@@roddbroward9876 Strange! I am from India and my community have been strict vegetarians for Generations. Our diet used to be plenty of greens, cereals, millets, milk and curd. Our body reacts to sudden changes in diet. Our community is well known to produce finest of Engineers, scientists and Financial experts. This Vitamin B12 thing needs a lot more scientific study.
Western diet is low in vitamins. Growing up in India i never had b12 deficiency, thanks to variety of seasonal fruit and vegetables in my village. Living in western vegeterian diet almost killed me, i didn’t have cognitive impairment but half my head turning grey at 35.
Thanks for the information. I have all those symptoms. Bless you.
So very helpful with accurate info and no hype to buy products..thank you
I was diagnosed with pernicious anaemia twenty years ago, I was so tired all the time, I had two miscarriages which my doctors ran every blood test known to mankind. My GP called me to say that they wanted to rerun some more blood to double check, they arranged my injections very quickly, I had to have an injection every day initially to get my levels within range! Thankfully my best friend is a nurse so she would inject me daily, I was relieved that I didn’t have to attend my GP daily. I now have a injection every three months, I know if I am overdue as the fatigue is awful, my hands and feet are tingling all the time! My son is waiting for a blood test as he is fatigued, he has lots of warning signs, is it passed on? I hope he will be ok, he is autistic and I know he will get stressed out!
I had all of these symptoms, except for the loss of appetite. Blood tests showed I was low on B12. I can tell such a difference in the way I feel since I started taking it. I didn't know all of these symptoms tied in with B12 deficiency until I watched this video. New subscriber.
Jan 2021 I found myself in a wheelchair. Could not walk past 20 steps before collapsing. Could not hold my toothbrush to brush teeth nor if my head tilted down, I had to get help to lift up. I had something like vertigo, too. No appetite. Fell twice lifting one leg out of bath where the other leg couldn’t hold me. Doc ran many images etc was faced w a brain scan and neurologist. Daughter was getting married in 5 weeks so I decided to get B12 injections once a week, eat liver and beets. I literally started getting all my strength back and was able to walk down the isle. Kept the wheelchair handy but today….I walk faster than my daughter. Cut b12 to once a month now and it’s nov 30, 2021. Doc never tested b12 ever. Totally aloof to MY OWN CURE!
Very informative and helpful to me as a person, I've really suffered, now my hope has been restored back.
Thank you n have a bless day.
I'm 38 now, my dr. ordered a COMPLETE blood panel, everything was good except my vitamin b12 was kinda low. I take 2500 mg every other day. I never knew it has such an important impact on the human body. The only symptoms I have yet are basically tingling in my hands, sometimes "jelly legs syndrome" and fatigue.
2.5 grams... I hope you mean 2500 micrograms.
Such a great information and and your voice is also super amazing hats off man❤️
Yes I'm having a woman to Doctor talk with my Doctor of 7 years AND did not even mention or recognize it. The unsteadyness is what I'm seeing and working on in my body I began to dislike the other symptoms . Thank you so ooo much I appreciate this information.
Great information thanks for sharing 👍👍
All symptoms explained are perfectly true in my case. Thanks very much.
You've been so helpful. Thank you !!!
Thank You so much...you have no idea how thankful I am for this information...wishing you a million likes
Thank You for this. I just called my Dr. office. I am 73 and am experiencing most of these symptoms.
Instead of going to the doctor, go to the drug store or healthful store and buy a bottle of b complex vitamins..try that for two weeks or so! 73 is a pretty good haul. If you begin feeling better, and you are mobile, you should get crazy and start a mild strength training routine!!! It's amazing what nutrition knowledge we can all have now days isn't it!? Wish you all the best my friend!
I got more from this than I did my Dr...was just put on B12. Thank you.
Very informative. Thanks!
I just stumbled across this video and with a bunch of newly diagnosed health issues, I’m going to bring this up at my doctors appointment on Tuesday. This is really good information and I was unaware of a lot of what you discussed. Thank you so much. I was wondering if you could maybe do a topic on prediabetes. Wow! I didn’t even see it coming. It’s not like I eat a lot of junk food or am obese. No one in my family has it, and it is believed that a medication that I started earlier in 2021 was the direct cause of this diagnosis. I knew the risk’s when I started the medication, but going without it was even a bigger risk. I got the diagnosis over the phone from my primary care on November 14, 2021. They haven’t had has much as an emergency appointment, so I’m left fending for myself on what to do. My thyroid was off as well. I was diagnosed with hypothyroid in 1990 and never had any problems until starting that medication. It’s like a domino effect. Now I’m seeing some symptoms from B12 deficiency that I already have and have had for the past year. I’m a mess. I’d be greatly interested if you could do a prediabetes for dummies video. Blessing in this New Year.

I have been having anxiety and nervous system issues for a long time. I eventually started having a lot of other symptoms like finding it hard to concentrate and focus among other things. It finally got to the point where my resting heart rate was out of control, blood pressure was all over the place, irregular heartbeat, tinnitus, and a sense of vibrating in body and limbs. My eyes sight was getting worse also, and I felt like I had a harder time swallowing. My dr ignored everything and said it was all anxiety. A friend suggested iron, so I started researching symptoms and found something about B12. I started both, and everything has become so much better. I am eating better (not great, but better than before), but I think it is actually the B12 because I haven't been doing any of those things for very long. I'm not eating better to the point that I think it is what is making me feel better and the iron takes time.
Now how is your heart palpitaion
Excellent, Clear Information 👏
Very informative! Thank you.
Helpful video! My doc has suggested me to take vitb12 supplement as am a vegetarian. I have been experiencing lot of these symptoms.. from dizziness to mouth blisters.
I have low b12. I was having all sorts of mental health issues and nothing was working. It took a trip to the Mayo Clinic and a two week visit with a wonderful doctor to discover I had a b12 deficiency, as long with other vitamins. B12 was off the scale by 1%, so not too low I would need injections. It's been almost two years now on daily supplements and I've never felt better. I can't miss a day though or I start to get sick.
Which brand are you taking?
Same with me kept having mental issues in n out of mental facilities whole time b12 was low 🤷🏽♀️
Try B12 supplements from Forever
I did too much nitrous oxide at a party and was hospitalized for this for a month and am still recovering. I had no clue this could happen so please spread the word
I took only 3 balloons but feel I have the symptoms I dont feel good more mentally then physically, how are yu now ?
Thanks alot for giving a brief information on this deficiency of B12
I have every symptom of deficiency but the tingling. Thanks for this video!!
Crystal, I feel your pain! The old name for B12 deficiency was "pernicious anemia', as a comment below states. People used to die from it. Bobby's comment, below, explains exactly how it occurs and why taking B12 tablets may not be enough. The lack of red blood cells in one's blood occurs NOT because they are not manufactured, but because they are too large to get out of the bone marrow. Yes, it's weird. A deficiency can be easily diagnosed with a blood test that includes measuring the SIZE of the red blood cells -- "corpuscular volume". It is a standard item on a blood test but often overlooked. My B12 deficiency was diagnosed late as well. I think the problem is that there are so many possible symptoms and most doctors don't make the connection. Older women, particularly, are often diagnosed w/dementia when what they have is B12 deficiency. One symptom not mentioned in the video is hair loss, which I had, as well as the red spots on my tongue. They got so painful that I could no longer eat anything with any vinegar or salt. I give myself B12 injections once a month. Not fun, but better than a slow death.
Peg how can i messsage you
I've got microcytosis (the opposite of macrocytosis). Red cells too small in size. I am taking b12 tablets now (multi vitamins actually) and feel better, not sure there is any relation. But I've got breathing problems, after three steps going up a stair my heart is pumping like crazy. I can do a 6hr hike but very very slowly, and my heart is racing always when I'm going up. I agree, when anybody do a blood test should also ask the red cells size.
Muchly appreciated Peg thank you

Thanks 🙏 great video. B12 is on my list of vitamins among others. Had to discover it on my own from extreme fatigue. Surely feel much better. Wish the physicians would be more informative particularly with diabetes. No wonder why there are so many with Alzheimer’s probably due to a lack of getting the right info. Thanks again and grateful for your video and KZhead
Doctors ..wont .tell you what to take if .you need those vitiams.the say watch yur diet... know all about it.. those vidios are great info...im grateful for them
@@teasym2762 and they should. To recommend to watch our diet is like ridding a car with flat tires which can become enable to run properly again by inflating the tires . A vague recommendation does not help since as a general rule they are more knowledgeable about the human body than the patients themselves
@@teasym2762 I agree with you. Doctors don't really seem interested in actually helping patients anymore. I met a lady who is prediabetic. I asked her what info her Dr. gave her; he told her to avoid sweets ! That's it !! Since I'm diabetic and manage it without meds I gave her a quick course and pointed her in the direction of finding more info on her own.
@@sheiladuncan1027 can you help me out and point me in the right direction? Or just start taking B12...is there anything else I should be taking? Thanks in advance I am sick and tired of being SICK AND TIRED😪
@@angiemartin9920 I suggest you go watch Beat Diabetes here on KZhead. He gives tons of good, useful advice. Biggest tip that helps bunches is to simply use that glucose meter. Eat something you like, then test at 30 min.; again at 1 hour; and finally at 2 hours, to see how you personally react to a food. For instance, in my case, I put brown rice to the test. One 1/2 cup serving. At 30 min. my test was only up 35 pts. I was excited. At one hour it was up 135 pts.; and by the 2 hour mark it topped out at 175 pts. !! So, I don't eat rice. Chicken, no matter how it is cooked, raises my number 30 pts. Beef only raises it 10 pts. Both aren't bad, but I heal cuts better when I eat more beef. Keto is your friend. Try to keep your carbs below 60 per day; 40 is better. Quit eating when you slow down from the day; fasting, or timed eating helps, too. Try to be aware of your triggers. I'm an emotional eater. Right now I'm very tired; ( been up 20 hours already ) so I crave carbs. Body wants fuel to function when it really needs sleep; so I'll have a hot tea and head for bed instead. Hope something I said helps you. Unless you are Type 1, you can Beat Diabetes !
WOW thanks 😊 for helping me to understand of B12 vitamin
🌹bless you for the enlightment
You just told me every symptom I have. I just took a b12 capsule, 2 b-12 chewable tablets, & drank a b-12 energy drink. I had gotten to the point if barely being able to walk as my body was shutting down. I even took a bad fall 2 night's ago, & my mouth has been so sore I could barely eat, I started out with the tingling in hands & feet, then I started having nerve spasms in my right buttock & then the pain came & kept getting worse & worse. Thank you, I am trying to get a ride to go see my Dr.
Do you take vitamin D.. Zinc, and Magnesium ? And look for some videos on KZhead about a supplement called “NAC” it’s good for many things.
@@annawell2517 NAC is being banned because some people were saying it was effective at lessening covid symptoms.
@@annawell2517 they just took NAC off the market
I had gastric sleeve surgery in 2013 to avert liver failure. Worked out great. But I was unaware the changes to my diet thereafter would bring about severe B12 deficiency due to not getting enough nutrition. It has been quite an effort over the years to even determine it was a deficiency. One doctor told me I had MS and I should go home and adjust to life changes - whatever that means. I have a surgery list as long as your arm, some of which have hindered the problem. The most obvious symptoms for me are / were - sudden short term memory loss. In the space of just a couple of days I will start repeating myself which maddens the husband, when he snaps and says that’s the fifth time I’ve told him the same thing, I know it’s time for the injection. My eyes go foggy too. The symptoms have changed over the years, like a progression of sorts. So for now I mark it on the calendar and go in for monthly injection and that seems to do the trick. For now. I must say, it would help considerably if what seems like a large number of GP’s would be a little less quick to dismiss symptoms. So many times nowadays patients have to do a lot of investigating themselves because doctors give the impression you’re a sook and have more important things to do. I have learned if you feel your doctor is too dismissive or flippant, try speaking plainly with them. If they remain the same, consider going to another. Ultimately you are responsible for your own self and health.
Thank you so much for sharing this information 💕🥰👍🏼👍🏼
Very nice information has been passed by this display. Thank u. I found personally what making me suffering with some problems which explained here.

Check out a channel called Jared Booster. I swear it's the same guy

I’m so happy I came across this video. I’m severely anemic and have to get iron infusions. After a couple of infusions, my doctor said I should feel much better and I expressed I still feel horrible and mentioned these symptoms. He found I also had b12 deficiency and also have to get b12 injections. Im hoping these help soon as at 19 it sucks always feeling physically exhausted.
OMG! This is all of me! My vision is suddenly soooo bad! I have all the systems but the vision hit me hard
THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video! My daughter has almost ALL the symptoms and found out recently that her body's B vitamins are almost non-existent. She has been tested and has a methylation problem. If anyone has any more info or suggestions, please let me know...
Hey Do u mean MMA methylmelonic acidemia?
Hello Team thank you for your valuable video,as iam facing same can you advise us how to come out from this situation and foods to be taken for vegetarians..
Very good information for vitamin b12. You provided additional information that has been missed with other sources. Thank you so much!
Vitamin B12 deficiency can be very dangerous. I woke up one morning and I could not use my phone. I was totally confused and a neighbor took me to the hospital. The hospital did not know if I had a stroke or Vitamin B12 deficiency. It took awhile but a neurologist said I had the deficiency. I was in the hospital for 3 days. I was not aware of a B12 deficiency one day then the next day I was in the hospital. What an experience.
I hope your doctor checks your vitamin D3 levels yearly as that can cause many symptoms also.
This is why some elderly people fall & fracture their hip. My aunt fracture her hip was placed in an old-aged home as she became immobile & needed help with her care. Her health quickly deteriorated with a diagnosis of alzheimers & within two years passed away. I do believe she was severely low in vitamin B12 which explains many of her symptoms. If low b12 left untreated may lead to cognitive decline & nerve damage leading to falls. Please especially any elderly family members to make sure their iron & b vitamin levels are adequate.
I'm 66 and in the last few months fallen and unable to get up I will definitely be taking B12 from now on
You are quite correct..
Don't forget the Vitamin D with K2 mk4 & mk7.
Thank you for sharing this information!!
Thank you for the info. I was recently tested for this deficiency and now take a vitamin b12 supplement.
I have this deficiency, had it for many years, and you've stated every issue i have, which, apart from fatigue, my doctor's have never linked to these conditions I've told them i have. I have huge reactions to the b12 injections or medication, even at super low amounts, so i take unfortified nutrition yeast and vegimite. It helps a lot, but i do have significant gut allergies/severe intollerances, and the lack of an appetite makes it more difficult. But thanks for this linking.
Buy on Amazon: 6000 mcg per day. It will cure you. Doctors know NOTHING. I diagnosed and treated myself 🙏
Maybe you should try beef
@@melvinrexwinkle1510 costs a lot now cos Kill Gates wants you to eat fake meat. VEGAN TIL I DIE🤬💣
@@planetguantanamo good luck!
Have you tried sublingual tablets? They dissolve in your mouth and go straight to your bloodstream.
You described several of my symptoms. My doctor today recommended B 12. He's a natural doctor. Great video! Thank you.
Great information! Thank you.🙏
Thanks for the video and information
You are videos are good, can you post videos on dental hygiene
I have some demyelination going on.. had a blood test a week ago, I'm clumsy, got the tingling etc.. sounds like I'm in need of the B12. Gonna call the Dr as they haven't called me yet
Thanks brother for specially only my health,I suffer these symptoms continuously,#
This is very important information thank
I'm so grateful for this video. Daily I experience each of these symptoms. and with all the comments with people having these symptoms it just proves most of us are blessed to have come across this video. I've not felt great the passed few months.ive decided to take charge of my health for the first time in my life. I've completely changed what I eat and now take 3 different vitamins each day. God bless us all. Best wishes to everyone.
This video just reminded me to take my B vitamins. I have an absorption problem and I forget that not eating is part of it. I used to get B12 injections but now I just do sublingual or B complex. I woke up today after not eating more than a couple bites in the past 2 days and I'm still not hungry. I'm pale and I slept 8 hours yesterday night, then slept for 5 hours of the day on the couch yesterday, got up and went to bed for another 8. Sometimes I just blame depression without thinking about it. My body is unhappy with me lol. I'm back on them. I'm putting them beside my coffee maker since I never seem to fail to use that!
Thank you for this informative video
Thanks for sharing vedeo for vitamin B12.very useful
Same symptoms can be a sign of so many different health problems
"You are not doctors" and that's the only reason I watched till the end. 👍
Thank you for this information.
Good.... Very very important article. TQ 🙏
I recently read that if you take a proton pump inhibitor, for GERD/reflux, you may develop a vitamin B12 deficiency. Ive also recently developed symptoms of restless leg syndrome. Which has been shown to be linked to a B12 deficiency. It makes sense because it’s a nervous system disorder. After watching this video, I was able to say yes to a majority of these symptoms and started B12 supplements today.
Hi How do you feel now? & how much b12 are you taking? I feel sane way as you 😩
The best supplement is the spray form as it absorbs through the mucus of the mouth instantly and the digestive tract has no chance to filter it out. It is also easy to use, more convenient than the sublingual/undertongue version especially for kids or the elderly.
Do you know of one that is covered by insurance ? My doctor prescribed one but it cost over 3k a month and insurance said no
@@itsmereallyreal2919The monthly dose costs like a tenner, anyone can afford that. BetterYou is the brand.
Nice summary, thank you
Great information, thanks!
I would like to add, in order to really profit from the b12 injections - a lot of people in the early stages may be treated with sublinguals but not all, lots do need shots - people should know it also takes a good active b-complex for the b12 to get properly absorbed by the body. All b-vitamins work together.
Thanks
Great information, thank you
Thanks! Great info!
My mom told me to get B12. She's doing much better. She has more energy than I do.
I took many B12 supplements over the years but somehow it skipped my schedule the last few years. Last year I came back from my dads funeral one year ago and felt like I had a near dead experience myself, when suddenly my body started to feel icecold and it was like life was draining out of my body. It lasted for like an hour in which I was terrified to die. Weird was that I had no fever or anemia (I always check my circulation first to decide wether or not I need to call emergency number) it was basicly a sensation. I took several vitamins and especially Floradix which brought me back to life. I eventually fell asleep (with a note next to me in case I died, thats how scared I was) and woke up again. After that followed some weeks full of fatigue, hot flashes, shivering, tingling limbs, moodswings etc. It faded away over the course of 5-6 weeks in which I took a lot of supplements, but I also started to eat better again as I had no appetite and a sore throat as a flu struck me same time. It stayed away for a year while regularly taking multivitamines. But 5 weeks ago the whole show started again, and now during Whitsunday I desperately wanted to see a doctor as I didnt want to live with fear of dieing anymore. Well I went few days later, where they discovered high blood pressure. They took blood to rule out thyroid issues, menopause or diabetes. I was afraid that before my appointment for the results was, they would call me or send an ambulance to rush me to hospital due to heartfailure as my heart was also going crazy at times. But, they found nothing, I was declared healthy after blood pressure also went down to normal levels. Only some white bloodcells were on levels indicating possible iron and or B12 deficiency (not mentioned by doctor, my own research. Now I am still not ok, my legs are sleeping for no reason, my hands are numb, my left cheek is numb sometimes. I feel dead like there is nobody home in my body and I stumble, I feel like there is no feeling in my fingers and feet, my digestion is totaly screwed and my heart pumps like a madman whenever I have been eating. I decided to take an independent extensive bloodtest testing on 46 biomarkers without doctors intereference because doctors dont want to search whats wrong with me. Im currently waiting for results and they didnt call me yet which they would if something critical was found, so I assume it was nothing again. It also tests for B12. Today I felt horrible and decided to take a B12 supplement and found one giving 20000% of daily recommended dose of good quality B12. Together with the essential folic acid, iron, B2, B6, Copper and some other friends. I felt like I entered another world, I feel so great for this moment, my apetite was back and no upset gut afterwards. If I dont have B12 deficiency it was something else in this supplement. I know B12 normally doesnt work that fast but I dont think I am insane deficient, but sensitive to low levels. I dont know. I can only hope this supplement did the magic, but the bloodtest will tell. I never saw a supplement with such high dose, but if I have even one day without any symptoms I'd be sooooo happy.
I experienced baaaaaad chills during my b12 deficiency. It was AWFUL I felt like death too. Very scary
Thanks for the videos!
