Question: Thank you for remembering me. I have not yet recovered completely. Only the itching sensation is little O.K. but Pin Pricking sensation is still there.
Now I am continuing Vit B 12 injection every week. Could you please tell me can I check the vitamins availability in my blood. I think it is available in foreign countries. I wanted to find out where I can get it checked up.
