    Even if you must begin with only a few minutes at a time, exercise can help you feel better

  • Consider vitamin B12 injections

    Consult a doctor for a trial of 2,500 to 5,000 mcg every two or three days for several weeks to make up possible deficiency

  • Consult an expert

    Find an experienced professional to help manage the symptoms of this challenging disease
