>May I jump in here? I have multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) and am particularly sensitive to the offgassing from electronic equipment. I have researched this pretty extensively and can direct anyone interested to the website of Dr. Martin Pall, a biochemist at U. of Washington, who has MCS himself and has learned what can control, not cure, the problems.  

You are all correct that vitamin B12 will help, as most of us are deficientin it. Even meat eaters can be deficient because most of the B12 from meats is from organ meats and we don't cook a lot of liver, kidney and beef heart anymore. So supplements are necesssary.

I am linking an article from a supplier of B12 only because this laboratoryis using Dr. Pall's formula in creating supplements that will treat this disease... it also applies to ME, CFS, and fibromyalgia. In particular isthe information about the differences in B12 formulary... cyanocobalamin, methylcobalamine or hydroxycobalamin. This article explain the differences, and, good news, it shows that tests have proven that you can benefit justas much from sublingual oral tablets as you can from shots. They do not recommend just oral tablets that must go through the digestive system in order to work, however.

Also, blood tests for B12 levels are highly inaccurate... there is a urine test if you feel you need to know, but there is no danger of overdosing on B12 so you can feel safe taking it even if your levels are normal. Which is doubtful. I suggest you read all of the following article, there are different sections that say a lot:
