➡️ Increased Levels of Fatigue
Fatigue is one of the most common signs of vitamin B12 deficiency because this vitamin is involved in the production of red blood cells. Red blood cells contain a property known as hemoglobin which transports oxygen to all of the other cells and tissues of the body.

➡️ Pale Skin
The skin of those who are deficient in vitamin B12 tends to have a pale or slightly jaundiced appearance. This sign is also due to the role that vitamin B12 plays in the production of red blood cells.

➡️ Mood Swings
Studies found that people who are deficient in vitamin B12 have higher homocysteine levels which can cause damage to brain tissue and interrupt the signals that travel to and from the brain.

➡️ Dizziness
A vitamin B12 deficiency leads to anemia, which can result in feelings of shortness of breath. Over time, this can make you feel weak, lightheaded, and off balance.

➡️ Blurred Vision
Earlier, I mentioned that a lack of vitamin B12 can lead to damage within the nervous system. This includes the optic nerve which is a bundle of more than 1 million nerve fibers that transmits sensory information for vision to occur.

➡️ Tingling in Your Hands or Feet
As you can see, nerve damage is quite common with a vitamin B12 deficiency. Another side effect of nerve damage is the feeling of numbness or tingling in your hands and feet.

➡️ Difficulty Concentrating
This is known as a cognitive impairment which means that you may have a hard time concentrating, thinking, or reasoning. It can even include memory loss as well. Some studies have linked a vitamin B12 deficiency with dementia, Alzheimer’s, and Parkinson’s disease.

➡️ Changes in Mobility
If left untreated, it can disrupt your coordination and balance which can lead to serious injuries that result from falls. Once again, this occurs as a result of nerve damage caused by a lack of vitamin B12.

➡️ Loss of Appetite
Your digestive tract can also be affected when your body is not taking in enough vitamin B12. With fewer red blood cells, there is less oxygen reaching your gut. A lack of oxygen in this area can result in nausea and diarrhea.

➡️ Mouth Pain
If you've noticed that your tongue is swollen, inflamed, or red in appearance, this is a condition known as glossitis. This condition often occurs when a vitamin B12 deficiency is present.

This is not a joke, this video is partially responsible for saving my life. I’ve been in the ER 4x in a few weeks & 4 different doctors. I wish one of them had ordered a vitamin blood panel. My sister is a nurse & suggested it. If not, something simple almost killed me despite trying to eat healthy. The quality or the food in America is so bad I can’t get proper nutrition from food alone. Keep making these videos.

The comment section on this post is as informative as the post itself. Thank you everyone.

At 35, I almost died from B12 deficiency. It was missed by more than one doctor, including a neurologist who thought I had MS, which B12 deficiency eventually mimics. By the time I was diagnosed, I had symptoms of dementia, could barely stand, physically couldn't speak at times, and a laundry list of other symptoms. I can't stress how unbelievably sick I felt. It actually was a traumatic experience, and never should have gotten to the point it did with me. I now know that I have malabsorption problems, so I do B12 shots and take sublingual tablets. It's absolutely insane that vitamin deficiencies aren't focused on more in medical school, and checked more often by doctors. These things are literally what make your body function.

Jan 2021 I found myself in a wheelchair. Could not walk past 20 steps before collapsing. Could not hold my toothbrush to brush teeth nor if my head tilted down, I had to get help to lift up. I had something like vertigo, too. No appetite. Fell twice lifting one leg out of bath where the other leg couldn’t hold me.

Doc ran many images etc was faced w a brain scan and neurologist. Daughter was getting married in 5 weeks so I decided to get B12 injections once a week, eat liver and beets. I literally started getting all my strength back and was able to walk down the isle. Kept the wheelchair handy but today….I walk faster than my daughter. Cut b12 to once a month now and it’s nov 30, 2021. Doc never tested b12 ever. Totally aloof to MY OWN CURE!

Very helpful.
I think my doctor had mentioned I had Vitamin B12 Deficiency, but did nothing for it.
I suffer from all you said.
Now to March back to my Doctor and have a Woman to Doctor talk!

[sherrycampbell]

Oh my gosh! My husband has all these symptoms you told in this video! He’s going to watch this! Thank you very much!

[jordanhall]

I remember my mother having all of these symptoms years ago. She went to doctor after doctor after doctor who all told her she had a "B12 deficiency". Even gave her B12 shots. Needless to say nothing changed and a lot of her symptoms stayed. She finally found a doctor, who finally after 2-3 year later, told her she has neuropathy. I love my mother more than words but unfortunately she is in a nursing home w/ dementia now. She will be 64 in March. Breaks my heart 💔

I recently had to start injections of B12 for my husband- he had a large tumor removed a year ago and the surgeon resected his bowel. He’s fine now but his dr told him that not being able to absorb certain vitamins after that surgery is common. He feels so much better now! I’m going to have my levels checked as I am experiencing some of these same symptoms! Thanks for the info!

Years ago my grandfather was diagnosed with "Pernicious Anemia", which was what they called a B12 deficiency at the time (back in the 1920's or 1930's, or so - I don't know when the name changed). It was regarded as fatal. A doctor had read a paper published in a medical journal and thought he could use an experimental therapy with him. The therapy involved chewing small bits of raw calves liver, about the size of a sugar cube, until it was almost gone. He had to do this two or three times a day. My grandfather was one of three patients on this therapy, and he did this for several years. He recovered. Some years later a drug company came up with an extract that became the basis for a prescription medication. The local newspaper featured him in a story about this. The reporter asked him about the other two patients. "They didn't like the calves liver, so they stopped. They died." The drug company furnished medication to him, free, for the rest of his life.

Also having large red blood cells is a sign of B12 deficiency. I keep seeing it in my labs for about 8 years and asked about it to many doctors they shrugged it off. Finally a new doctor caught it and ordered more labs. I lacked the intrinsic factor. B12 was insanely low. Unfortunately most of the damage was done by then. I do injections monthly now and I'm doing much better.

[belindaevan]

I have just been diagnosed with very low B12 so my doctor is giving me a 6 week course of B12 injections my hair is falling out at a very fast rate so im praying these injections work! 🙏😔

[lindsey]

It took over a year of appointments where I was telling my doctor I was exhausted before I found out it was low B12. A year if being told it was because I was aging (I’d just turned 30) and/or because of weight (which had been stable for years).

A solid year of going “this isn’t a normal exhaustion. I know exhaustion. This is more”

Eventually it took going to a different doctor because of dizziness and having a really slow processing time (I could barely stand to teach a lesson, and was starting to have trouble processing when my students simply asked me to use the washroom…. I’d stare for a few seconds before processing what they asked).

Turned out my B12 was incredibly low. Over a year of trying to get help and not being listened to.

I was diagnosed with pernicious anaemia twenty years ago, I was so tired all the time, I had two miscarriages which my doctors ran every blood test known to mankind. My GP called me to say that they wanted to rerun some more blood to double check, they arranged my injections very quickly, I had to have an injection every day initially to get my levels within range! Thankfully my best friend is a nurse so she would inject me daily, I was relieved that I didn’t have to attend my GP daily. I now have a injection every three months, I know if I am overdue as the fatigue is awful, my hands and feet are tingling all the time! My son is waiting for a blood test as he is fatigued, he has lots of warning signs, is it passed on? I hope he will be ok, he is autistic and I know he will get stressed out!

[beverlygarten-johnson]

I had all of these symptoms, except for the loss of appetite. Blood tests showed I was low on B12. I can tell such a difference in the way I feel since I started taking it. I didn't know all of these symptoms tied in with B12 deficiency until I watched this video. New subscriber.

[asiathompson]

Really great video; I never knew just how important vitamin B12 actually is, thank you for taking the time to put this information together.

I have been having anxiety and nervous system issues for a long time. I eventually started having a lot of other symptoms like finding it hard to concentrate and focus among other things. It finally got to the point where my resting heart rate was out of control, blood pressure was all over the place, irregular heartbeat, tinnitus, and a sense of vibrating in body and limbs. My eyes sight was getting worse also, and I felt like I had a harder time swallowing. My dr ignored everything and said it was all anxiety. A friend suggested iron, so I started researching symptoms and found something about B12. I started both, and everything has become so much better. I am eating better (not great, but better than before), but I think it is actually the B12 because I haven't been doing any of those things for very long. I'm not eating better to the point that I think it is what is making me feel better and the iron takes time.

I did too much nitrous oxide at a party and was hospitalized for this for a month and am still recovering. I had no clue this could happen so please spread the word

[rozaashv]

The author failed to mention a very significant cause leading to the vitamin B deficiency. You could eat tons of foods high in content of this vitamin and still suffer severely from lack of B12 The reason for the condition is that your stomach, for some unknown reason, has stopped producing a certain secrete needed for the absorption of this vitamin which we normally take in from food ( By the way our body needs only a tiny amount of this vitamin ).
Patients used to die from this kind of B 12 deficiency . Nowadays one can easily be helped by skilled doctors who assign small doses of B12 injections
Every month or two And you keep well and safe.

[ChildrenOfTheSunCP]

The best form of B12 to take is METHYLcobalamin instead of cyanocobalamin. Also, it's a good idea to take all B vitamins together in a quality B Complex formula, rather than separately. Stay healthy everybody!
