Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
With missing only one B12 Injection and thats too amongst maintenance doses is never a cause of such memory loss episodes. He has been having a good level of B12 in reports uptil now. In the start of the therapy we inject on frequent basis but when we achieve a good level of B12 in the body, fair enough to carry out all the neurological functions, we keep the patient on maintenance dose that is the one your husband is on and he is out of danger of complications of B12 deficiencies.
It had been Idiopathic as his Neurologist in A&E department has found nothing problematic with the neurologic functioning of the body. So, please sit relax and keep an eye on his health.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. Let me know if you have any further clinical concerns. I will be happy to get back to you shortly. If satisfied here, please give a five star rating and don't forget to close the discussion.
