A member asked:
Can cognitive problems from b12 deficiency be permanent? how can i know the extent of damage?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
maybe: I believe your best bet is to consult with a neurologist and then perhaps comprehensive psychological testing to determine the full extent of your cognitive abilities. Make sure they communicate with each other, and then have your neurologist guide your follow up.
