Hypothyroidism

Depression, lethargy, excessive somnolence (sleeping too much), etc – those are the symptoms of hypothyroidism. 

But even low B12 levels can cause the same problems, as you already know. In addition, those who have pernicious anaemia are at higher risk of getting hypothyroidism – they’re linked both ways!

Multiple Sclerosis (MS)

Another auto-immune condition, this disease eventually rips of the myelin sheaths off of your nerves, very much like B12 deficiency does. Needless to say, it causes very similar symptoms. This disease affects many people,  usually in their 20’s and 30’s, comes all of a sudden in attacks withcompletely symptomless periods. It causes walking problems, deterioration of vision, failure to balance oneself, etc – pretty much all the same as those caused by B12 deficiency.  Interestingly, many people who have MS also have a B12 deficiency.

Fibromyalgia

This disorder isn’t very well-understood. Patients who have this problem experience severe pain in certain areas of the body, called ‘pain points.’ The pain is excruciating and unbearable for some and it is said that it is a result of the brain over-reacting to painful stimuli. Other symptoms include confusion, trouble concentrating, dizziness, depression, sleeping problems, etc. These should sounds very familiar by now. Therefore, you can see that numerous conditions present with symptoms very similar to those caused by B12 deficiency. In addition to keeping patients untreated and at risk for permanent damage to their body, doctors cause loss of extremely large amounts of money when they misdiagnose these disorders. Most of these conditions need chronic therapy by expensive drugs and sometimes even hospitalization. Misdiagnosis is thus costing us our health as well large sums of money.
