"1998: After several years of slowly increasing tiredness, decreased running performance, and finally numbness beginning in the balls of my feet, I switched doctors and was diagnosed with pernicious anemia. This young doctor listened and bothered to run a blood check, unlike the first doctor. Blood B12 levels were in the basement despite my huge vitamin B doses taken orally. (Stomach absorption pathway is broken in pernicious anemia.) Began monthly B12 (cyanocobalamin, 1 cc) injections for life, an easy, effective solution. A month later, I could take 2 flights of stairs at work on the run again. Measurements confirmed the nerve damage in my leg was reversed when rechecked 6 months later -- no more 'peripheral neuropathy.'"

Cyanocobalamin "I was given the option of B12 shots or Nascobal nasal spray to maintain my B12 levels after being diagnosed with pernicious anemia. I chose Nascobal and have been using it for 5 years now. I administer it once every 7 to 10 days. Very easy and much better than shots. I do sometimes get a mild headache a couple of days after taking it. But that's not enough to deter me from using it."

Cyanocobalamin "Was diagnosed with pernicious anemia and given the shots monthly in my doctor's office for several years. I asked if there was any other treatment, and my doctor found the Nascobal nasal spray, which I started when we found an insurance company that would let me try it. Most would not. I had much better absorption of the B-12 by nasal spray and only needed to use it every 10 days versus weekly. I was able to use it with this proof as long as I had insurance for 10 years until I hit Medicare. Despite my same doctor and the proof of better absorption, they refused to pay for the higher cost of the nasal spray."
