      Untreated b12 deficiency can cause brain lesions if untreated. Adequate b12 treatment can repair damage. MS and b12 deficiency have very similar symptoms and it has been known that people have been misdiagnosed as having MS. Check that b12 and folate have been tested as they are not routine tests xx
