“One of the reasons I love Dermatology so much …” I love hearing people talking about how passionate they are about something!

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.

[zoricaabiaduka]

I literally never comment. But so refreshing to see black skin when you were showing symptoms. Thank you!

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.

I'd love if you made more episodes of the vitamin series! So insightful!

Biggest take away is that neurological damage from B12 deficiency is irreversible. That is sobering.

[curlgirl]

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.

Dr. Dray, I cannot say enough good things about you and your channel. Your brain is huge. The amount of information you assimilate and articulate is incredible. I find you to be such an effective teacher for both those of us with medical training (and lifelong obsession with skincare) and the layman both. Also love the balance you demonstrate with staying on top of latest trends with ingredients and new products balanced with practical and clinical experience. I hope your following continues to grow! Thank you for all the time and effort you put in to this.

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

[debbiethibault]

I’m proud of you! My mother is a recovering alcoholic, 26 year sober. I’m so proud of her. I read your story I don’t even know I do but I know that struggle. Just remember on days when it’s really tough, you are setting an example for someone else who is struggling, and that’s the best gift you can ever give. You’re stronger than you know! You are so worth all the good in the world go out and grab it

Thank you for doing this video. I felt horrible and my hands and feet were buzzing. I told my doctor, and I was severely B12 deficient. Supplements/injections - I'll all better now!

[aleidahertel]

I had a severe B12 deficiency due to pernicious anemia, loss of intrinsic factor (also I have Sjogren's and celiac so, I lost ALL my hair two years ago. Injected B12 helped me so much, also treatment for the anemia and a bacterial infection that caused it. Thanks for this great informative video!

[penni]

I am vegan and for a long time (8 years now ) For the past 4 years I have been having severe brain fog, severe fatigue and burning legs, also, and I was shedding hair. I went to 3 different doctors. My b12 was at 283 pg/ml. I wasn't "deficient" and those doctors said I was fine. I finally found a doctor to listened. He agreed that was a very low number and I was started on supplements. I am feeling much better. Get your blood work checked! Especially if you are vegan or vegetarian.

[CultBalto]

I’ve been vegan for 10 years, B12 deficiency has always been a concern for me but I’m guilty of not being great about taking my gaily vitamins. As soon as I started this video I ran for my b12 bottles thanks for the reminder!

[annhinds]

As a dietitian, I really enjoy these deficiency videos. Thank you.

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.

[lbjailer]

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.

[carlaabercrombie]

I was just diagnosed with pernicious anemia. My ANA levels have been abnormal since my breast cancer surgery. So thankful I have wonderful Drs that are thorough. Love listening to you!

[melp]

As a long time vegetarian, this is often on my mind, with supplements and vitamin
& food choice. I’d love a vitamin series! Thank you, happy new year💐

[auntiear]

Really appreciate your deep dive into B12. As a 63 year old lady I know the negative effects low B12 can have. I get an intramuscular injection monthly.
