Re: Re: Heart pounding / b12

[Guest guest]

I've been taking up to 20,000 mcg sublingual. You're right, a real deficiency with symptoms is going to require a lot more or shots. I am still waiting for my doctor to call in the shots. Taking that many sublinguals is hurting my mouth. It seems to be the only thing that helps with my crazy heart though. BTW, all heart tests "normal".-- Subject: Re: Heart pounding / b12To: RT3_T3 Date: Wednesday, May 26, 2010, 4:22 PM

Crystal this is very interesting. I've always done well on the b12 sublingual, but I've spoken to people who do better on the b12 shots. This is one of those that I'd try the non-doc/cheaper/painless way first (sublingual b12), and if that didn't work, go for the shots.

Although there will certainly be people for whom the shots just plain work better, I do think part of the reason the sublinguals may not work sometimes is that some folks don't take enough - 10,000mcg a day is what I take.
