Yes of course. My neurological problems worsened a lot during that time. If you cannot absorb B12 from food, then taking pills via the same route doesn't do enough if you already have neurological damage as the amount absorbed is far too low to repair the damage and prevent further damage. I wish it would work for me, but it doesn't. With shots every second day for 2 months, followed by slowly increasing intervals I'm finally healthy again after three years of misery; provided I get a shot every three weeks.
