Hi. Vitamin b 12 deficiency is very common in india. Usually it reverse a lot with proper treatment with adequate dosing. It is usually supplemented with vitamin d3 and calcium. To comment on exact nature of treatment in your case I need to examine you clinically and run some test like ncv and vitamin levels in your blood. You can book an appointment if you like.
