The ABC Homeopathy Forum

Hi Karen

Just went through yr website where you suggest methylcobalamin for vit B12 deficiency. I am taking the tablet Methylcobal 500mcg twice daily for sore feet. Are both of the chemicals same?? the one which I am taking and the one which you are suggesting?? The chemical in my tablet shows that it is methylcobalamin only??

Hi Maya,
Sorry it took me so long to find this posting.

They sound the same.

The thing is, how do you take yours????

The major distinction is that to absorb it, in most cases, it needs to be taken sublingually... under the tongue.

Is that how you are taking yours?

What kind of results have you had so far?

The other thing is, and I'm not very good at this, but is "mcg" micrograms?

I think that what I've been taking is a "ml".
Yes, I just checked and that is the measure on my needles.

So, how many mcg are there in a mg??? and is a mg the same as a ml, only one is solid and the other liquid???

Thank you for thinking of me.

Now I'll know you are writing because I will get a notification : )

Yes mcg is micrograms.
They are tablets to take with water. they helped my sore feet a lot. I couldn't walk at all but with this am able to go 250 m at a time. but if i forget even once, my feet are back to being very sore.
was advised to take it twice a day for 6 months - 2months over. Before i also took injections. Yes my sore feet are connected to my diabetes too. If higher sugar, more sore the feet. but they are mainly due to Raynaud's syndrome from which i have been suffering from the last 13-14 years or more
Thanks Karen for your feedback.

Hi maya,
I'm so glad they are helping your feet. : )
I have read quite a lot about how B12 works in many areas related to diabetes.

How far is 250 m... I'm unclear is that about 10 driveways? or is it more like a very long marathon type run???

I belong to a forum called BrainTalk where I've seen Raynaud's syndrome mentioned, but I don't know what it is.

Did you go to your doctor for the injections?

I give them to myself now, which is very cheap. 'They help me alot.

But mostly people seem to think the methylcobalamin (like you take) is much better.

Only I'm pretty sure that the idea is that it's most effective when it's dissolved under the tongue...

: )

That forum has a lot of nice people on it, if you like chatting : )

Hi maya,
http://brain.hastypastry.net/forums/

and, if your tablets are to swallow, you might do well to get some of the sublingual kind, as they are supposed to be much more useable... by the body.

Sorry, didn't say that clearly: methylcobalamin is supposed to be an excellent form of B12 as it is readily available for the body to use... but it's sort of counterproductive to take tablets that run it through ones digestive system when that system isn't functioning well enough to take much advantage of it.

It was nice to hear from you.
: )

I hope to see you at Brain Talk.

and yes, it is "hastypastry"

Karen-you read right-I really like YOUR site about nails-and I had B12 deficiency-vegetarians often do. And you have to take it sublinguinal... I still do-but tastes good (at least-not like B multi. And once I tried Brewer's yeast-THAT was horrible! Fortunately my (late, unfortuately) dog liked it).
 
Astra2012 last decade
Hi maya and Astra,
I just rearranged all my favorites and put the homeopathic site you gave me way up toward the top.

Thank you so much for saying such kind things about my site.

: )

I hope you are having a lovely time with your son, maya. : )

Thank you so much for writing.
I was having a hard time today because I forgot to pay my mortgage and that's really an expensive mistake. I forgot because of how sick I still am and how hard it is to do things when I'm sick --

BUT; you two completely brightened my day. I'm smiling again, thanks to you two. : )

I still feel ashamed for my earlier comments about you.

All the best.

I have no idea how I brightened your day but I'm glad I did.

About the late payments-if it happened first time (maybe more often too-I don't know) you may try calling them and talking yourself out of it.
I never tried that with mortgage (they might be less forgiving) but sometimes )(quite often) it works.

Hi Murthy,
: )
You know what, when I think about those earlier comments, the one I remember is that you thought I was a programmer... which I thought was such a huge compliment.

: )

Thank you for writing, It makes a huge difference to me.

One of the symptoms of tetanus, by the way is : irritability.

I don't think I was tracking very well.

But in terms of being back to normal... not quite.
I can only be up for a little over 10 minutes before I begin having sever muscle discomfort. I didn't realize it before when my abdominal muscles were SO BAD, but all of my muscles are sore... even in my arms -- despite the fact they didn't feel like they were so tight.

And, when I stop taking Ledum (like yesterday I forgot because I was feeling better) my midsection muscles got nearly ridgid again.

I'm continuing to take the Hypericum and Echinacea, too.

Thank you so much for writing!!!

: )
