A friend of mine has been feeling off the past few months with many lyme-like symptoms. He said he just tested as having low B12.

He is going in for shots.

Ok.

But I would like to know WHY his b12 is low. Can lyme cause low b12?

That was my first symptom before we knew I had lyme... low B12, and couldn't keep a good level.

I've been on B12 shots for years now... give them to myself every 3 weeks.
Babs is the bugger for me.

Lyme, Babs, Fry Bug..... Whatever it is, may a treatment be discovered to make us all whole again!

I just had all regular bloodwork done along with a hormonal panel, etc. I'm at half the normal B-12 level and also am taking Rx B-12 shots.

Bringing it up to optimum levels (gradually) has made me feel better, but it's obviously no cure-all.
