Never knew how important Vitamin B12 until the kind of symptoms I have been having led my doctor to prescribe Neurobion Forte.
Curious as I am I quickly browsed to find out what deficiencies will one experience if there is lack of vitam B12 in one's body
This link has it all:
But here are the symptoms
"Physical symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency
Weakness, tiredness, or lightheadedness
Heart palpitations and shortness of breath
Pale skin
A painful, smooth, inflamed tongue (glossitis)
Constipation, diarrhea, loss of appetite, or gas
Bluish or gray-brown nails.
Loss of appetite
Neurological symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency
Numbness or tingling
Muscle weakness
Problems walking or speaking
Vision loss
Difficulty remembering things
Other symptoms of vitamin B12 deficiency
Depression
Mood swings"
I have a few of those symptoms and I have already started taking the vitamin
Vitamin B12 is essential for good health, but some people may not be getting enough. WebMD tells you about symptoms of a vitamin B12 deficiency and how it can be treated.

One reason I don't like looking up symptoms, usually they can multiple things. It's always good when you can start treating with something simple though.

@allknowing I know which sites are good, however symptoms are still general. Take Covid, I know it's a big deal still but look at the symptoms. It has all the symptoms of the flu, colds, pneumonia, a female on a really bad period and a few other sicknesses.
It's not so ,much the site as you knowing your own body. I usually start simple then work up to the complicated, I avoid doctors which is ironic since that's the type of business I'm going into lol.

@JordanLader In my search I involve my doctor. It was my doctor who prescribed Neurobion for me.

I had the symptoms as well and had hard time as well! Don't you eat meat?? Unfortunately grass fed diary products and meat help with Vitamin B12! The symtoms depend from person to person! My father has terrible leg aches but he refuses to take supplements as he thinks they are addictive in nature! Even asked me to stop taking injections when I was unable to walk! My doctor asked me to have fish or eggs atleast but I cannot!

You are right about food being a better option but one cannot get it on a daily basis nor does one enjoy eating it on a daily basis Until the symptoms disappear one should go for supplements and later may be eat foods that heal.

@allknowing Our food is so adulterated, one can hardly get nutrients from it! Very soon we will be thriving on supplements!!

There are many things that can cause you to be B 12 deficient. Glad you are taking steps to deal with it.

My father was a biochemist and he taught us when we were very small the importance of vitamins and where we would find it in out daily diet. I do know that people who are vegans must hve shots of vitamin B 12 as they won´t have the vitamin in their diet.

@allknowing Exactly. One of my aunts ate everything yet her doctor told her to take a Neuropion tablet every day.

@marguicha Going through that article I came to know that as one grows older absorption of certain nutrients from food is on the decrease.

Occasional supplements for every one I think is important and more so for old people

@LadyDuck This is a first time for me and probably because I have given up on meat and fish for almost 5 years.

@allknowing - I needed Vitamin B12 shots during several years and I was glad when this stopped.

My doctor prescribed Vit B for me too and I had a lot of those symptoms you listed. Normally I wouldn't have thought any of those symptoms would be associated with a lack of Vit B.

I hope your symptoms improve with the vitamin. It sounds like it can't hurt.
