I'm just joining the world of regular B12 shots, diagnosed last
November with the inherited antibody that fights instrinsic factor.  I
was getting injections bi-weekly for 6 weeks, then monthly. Blood test
in March showed I was only at 59 so, back on bi-weekly and Doc has
plans to test me again in a month or 2.
My symptoms mostly is trouble breathing, but I also had the tingly
fingers and toes, memory loss, and mood swings. So far, the only
symptom that's gone is the tingly digits.  The breathing thing seems to
be getting worse not better.  It seems like I just can't fill my lungs
with enough air plus I yawn a lot.
Question, how long does it take for these symptoms to clear?

My advice is to stop eating foods that have more than trace amounts of
unsaturated fatty acids.  You are most likely overloaded with
arachidonic acid, which leads to these kinds of "autoimmune" problems.
You also may not be producing enough stomach acid.  You can try
supplementing with vinegar, and if you get "heartburn" type sensations,
that means you have taken a bit too much and you then know what your
needs are, if any.  If you do these two things (along with not cooking
food that contains cholesterol while exposing it to air - meaning boil
if you must cook) then you are likely looking at 1.5 to 2 years to see
a total eradication of the problem.  But you can't "cheat" by eating
the wrong foods "once in a while."  Even most breads today are made
with highly unsaturated oils, though French baguettes usually are not.
I make my own bread to avoid this problem.  Butter is okay, as is
coconut oil, dark chocolate, whole milk dairy products, and a boiled
egg a day.  If you like "meat," consider using gelatin and eating
boiled shellfish (if you can find any that isn't too polluted).  In the
meantime, eat antioxidant-rich fruit as well.  For beverages, lighly
roasted organic coffee and organic white tea are good, as is
seltzer/club soda.
