    As a vegan I always ask for my B-12 levels to be checked annually. At first, my doctor didn’t think it was necessary and said my insurance probably wouldn’t pay for the lab work. I insist that it be done. It’s shocking that doctors don’t understand that vegans need to monitor their levels. Thanks for the photos included.

      Do you need to supplement B12 to keep your levels in normal range?
      Mines have been steadily declining since going vegan 2 years ago but only recently started to supplement as I was having symptoms of deficiency…

    • @erinrozanski5013
      @erinrozanski5013 2 роки тому +1

      Yes! Vegans need to supplement B-12. The oral form takes awhile to build up. Much faster is intramuscular injections. You can buy B-12 injections and syringes over the counter at a pharmacy. (At least, that's the case in Canada.) My doctor gave me some injections and then showed me how to do it and sent me to a drugstore to do it myself.

    This is one of the most overlooked vitamin deficiencies in healthcare. Even when my mom was starting to have neurological symptoms, I had to ASK that B12 be checked. My immediate family members have Crohn's disease and Celiac disease along with some of the symptoms you mentioned. No one ever had their B12 checked. Nice to know it can cause permanent neurological damage. If only there were more conscientious doctors like you Dr Dray the world would be a better place. You really need to be your own advocate in healthcare.

      Ulcerative Colitis for 23 years here and I previously didn’t think much about it. Ended up at a hematologist appointment due to dangerously high platelet levels and she put me on B12 injections and an iron infusion. Not too long ago I finished my MBA with a 4.0 GPA, was a full time student and full time employed, made time for some extracurricular organizations…. so I don’t think it affected me as much neurologically as it did physically, however I was fatigued and exhausted 24/7. Like for decades, it was so normal I usually failed to mention it at doctors appointments cause I got so used to it.

    Thank you for the video. I’m a 33 year old recovering alcoholic.. 12 pack a day , then a few years later a fifth of vodka a day . That’s Around the time my nutrition really started getting bad. I’ve never really been a big meat eater, and when you’re drinking every single day your body really only wants alcohol. I am pretty positive I’ve been depleted in the vitamins for years. I currently have three months sober And There’s way too many more scary things to explain that my body is telling me and my situation can improve if I just put the bottle down. I have been watching a lot of videos about nutrition and vitamins. My biggest concern is drinking a gallon of water a day, large amounts of B vitamins , Magnesium, and Setting reminders to eat. Sometimes I have to force myself to eat. But because of the damage I’ve done I have to take my nutrition very seriously now. I’m pretty sure I’m going to make it. I’m pretty sure I’m going to be a success story. God bless

    I used to have occasional skin sensitivity where hot spots would flare up usually on my arms and sometimes torso. These hot spots are sporadic, one small pin point at a time, different locations, are not visible, but the skin would feel highly irritated to the lightest touch. Blood test concluded vitamin B12 deficiency and after taking supplements regularly I rarely experience them now.

    STRESS!!! I developed a Vitamin B12 deficiency that started to produce brain fog, forgetfulness, irritability, dizziness, and extreme fatigue. Although I gravitate toward veggies, I am not fully vegetarian. My doctor and I discussed the impact of work-related stress on the ability of my body to absorb B12. I think we are all, in theory, aware of how negatively stress can impact our health, but this was a HUGE wake-up call for me. Now, I track my macros daily, get monthly shots, and make sure I am getting enough protein. And, I've quit my job. Crossing my fingers, this next position is less stressful than the previous one.

    Wow! I'm type II diabetic. I'm on Metformin ER, just increased to 1000mg from 500. I also take heart burn medicine 1 per day as well. After I started the 1000ER I experienced fatigue, anxiety, lack of appetite, and digestion problems. After researching I went to my Pharmacist and asked for help obtaining B12 supplement. I now include 1000mg dose of B12 with my routine medications in the morning and have to say I have eliminated my negative issues I started to experience. Funny thing is my Primary Care Doc knowing my symptoms wanted to prescribe Prozac. I rejected it and with B12 I feel so lucky I did. I think I have been B12 deficient since starting Metformin back in 2013, as I figured getting older was causing some of my experiences. I THINK THERE SHOULD BE MORE PUBLIC EDUCATION ABOUT VITAMIN B12 AND SYMPTOMS THAT B12 CAN REMEDY, I FEEL PEOPLE ARE BEING MISDIAGNOSED, SPECIALLY USERS OF METFORMIN.

    You had talked about symptoms of not having enough vitamin B12 in another video and I had made a comment that I had discoloration on my tongue and problems with short term memory. I already have peripheral neuropathy so that was nothing new.
    Well, I saw a Specialist for my tongue and all the testing that was done only showed I was low on B12. My Neurologist sent me for a test and I will have that result soon. I ordered the Vitamin B12 Supplement today.

    Yes, I have pernicious anemia caused by an autoimmune disease and I have probably had it was several years! They think it was caused by decades IBS. It got so bad that I ended up having demyelination of my spinal cord! There were signs for years but none of my primary care doctors tested my B12 levels! It took me having to go to a neurologist to get ky levels checked! He actually called me letting me know that my B12 level was 57 and didn’t know how I was doing life day to day! I now have to give myself inter muscular B12 shots every 3 weeks. The demyelination resolved thank God but I still have some nerve issues.

Luckily I had a very insightful doctor who seemed to know quite a lot about b12 deficiency and stuck me on injections. I've had 3 so far and still feel horrible lol. I'm determined to get another test done because I still don't feel like they checked everything.

    I have Crohn's disease and my first (of six) surgery was an ileial resection about 15 years ago. I have chronically low B12, even with bi-weekly injections, because of poor absorption. I love this new series because I do have some skin struggles and I've been wondering if some of my malnutrition and inflammation issues might be causing them. These are also good tips for me to watch for that might alert me to low vitamin levels before my regular blood work is done. I've definitely experienced a few of these symptoms!

    Anyone who has had gastric bypass surgery where they staple most of your stomach to leave you with a small pouch that functions as your entire stomach. Then they attach (bypass) the small intestine to your new stomach pouch. This effects your absorption of vitamins and minerals but also that intrinsic factor effects the B12. I had this procedure back in 2003 and I developed a major iron and B12 deficiency to where I was majorly anemic as a direct result of the stomach surgery. My hemoglobin was dangerously low around 6 and I had to receive iron infusions and blood products before this caused multi organ failure including the heart. I remember not being able to get up and walk or exert myself in any way without getting dizzy and very short of breath. So this is another side effects or health issue from low B12.

My arms live they’re own life and I have sores on my knuckles from bumping my hands into everything. instantly after being told something I forget it. When I got diagnosed I couldn’t walk or lift my arms. And the doc took one look at me and said I know what this is and you need b12 possibly a blood transfusion but I luckily didn’t need it.

But I think they went back down since that was years ago.
