Laurel:

You are correct. My immune system is attacking vitamin B-12 in my blood serum and if I don't get vitamin B-12 I will lose all feeling and lose all muscle control because nerves will start dying. I am taking IVIG which is immuno-globulin taken from tens of thousands of people which shuts off the immune system long enough to absorb some vitamin B-12. IVIG costs about $3,500 a dose I am taking it every week. Hopefully the good doctors can find something else that works because it feels like I am losing this battle very slowly. Oh well, if they can at least slow thing down until they come up with a better way, then that will help. One doctor wants to try really small doses of vitamin B-12 in the hopes of sneaking under the immune systems radar. At this point, I am willing to try most anything.
