B12: I can think of no reason that your symptoms should be linked with the B12 injection. It would help to know WHY you were given the injection.

1.5 yr of neuro sx. MRI, EMG, neuro workup clear. Slightly low B12 at 384 pg. PCP said I could do daily cyano shots to see if sx clear. Some have, others persist. Could 1 yr of daily b12 shots be harmful? Worried it could somehow increase cancer risk?
