About us

Hi, I’m Wessel, the creator of B12Betty.

In May 2024, I woke up from an ordinary Saturday afternoon nap and felt a light tingling in my hands and feet. It seemed harmless at first, something easy to ignore — but little did I know it was the start of a journey that would completely change my life. Over the next few weeks, more symptoms appeared — burning feet, headaches, dizziness. I felt like my body was falling apart, and no one could tell me why.

Doctors ran countless blood tests, and I went through three MRIs — we thought it could be MS, spinal cord compression, even cancer. The uncertainty was terrifying. But after what felt like an endless search, I finally found the answer: B12 deficiency. I consider myself one of the lucky ones to have discovered the cause in a relatively short time — I know not everyone is so fortunate due to the tricky nature of this deficiency.

So I created B12Betty — the tool I wish I had at the start of my B12 deficiency journey. By providing helpful resources and comparing symptoms to help recognizing patterns, hopefully, Betty can help you determine whether B12 deficiency is behind your unexplained symptoms and, most importantly, get the right treatment.
