A member asked:
My b12 was tested a little over a year ago when i had some leg numbness and was 195. my doctor suggested adding a supplement but i ended up not doing so as the numbness cleared up. should i still follow up on that b12 level?

Absolutely follow-up on the B-12 level, as the last was far too low. If the B-12 remains diminished, you are playing with fire if you continue to contest your physician's advice! Likely, you will now require injections to stabilize the levels.
