For those with pernicious anemia after wls

What kind of treatments are you doing?  I'm beginning to feel my dr isn't aggressive enough.  I do monthly shots and DAILY sublingual but my levels are not coming up too much.  It has been 9 months.  First reading was 146, was 187 and third is 327.  I am having numbness-tingling in forearms and hands.  My toungue hurts daily.  AND I FEEL LOUSY!  Should I get a more aggressive Dr or just go with the program, assuming the levels will just be slow in coming up.  Thanks in advance!  Lori  (I'm three years out and started shots 9 mos ago, before that was just weekly sublingual 2500 mcg)

Wow Lori - I am sorry you are dealing with this.  I didn't know what it is so I looked it up.  I am curious, did you start B12 a month after surgery or when did you start.  Was your doctor monitoring your b12 levels before the symptoms appeared? It is scary what sneaks up as a result of this surgery and I hope your doctor will get you feeling better very soon!

Hi CheriLynn-I started the vitamins as directed after surgery.  i was taking 1000 mcg b12 sub-ling 1x week, in addition to a daily mulit-vit.  It was about at the 18 mo mark where my labs started coming back low.  And even then nobody seemed too concerned.  Its frustrating.  But I have to be my own advocate, I guess!  Thanks, lori
