Concerning her B-12 levels she has not had a test to find out exactly what her levels are. Every year in February a local hometown pharmacy offers a service where individuals can come in and pay to get a full blood test to check the most common things. This past February (2014) we had the test done on her (it doesn't check for B-12 but it did do a full profile on the thyroid) and all of here thyroid numbers (TSH, T4, T3, Free Thyroxine) were in the middle of the normal ranges. Every year that she has had this test for the past 8 years her thyroid numbers have always been normal. This test did check for Vitamin D and on that she was low 38.9 (range 32.0 to 100.0). As a result of that she is now taking D3 supplements to get that value up.

As a result of a botched medical procedure, about 12 years ago, she now refuses to go to any doctor because she thinks they will mess something up. After doing research on all her symptoms it kept coming back to the possibility of B-12 deficiency. I thought that since B-12 is not toxic I would start here on 5mg and hope that it would help. But, over the past 3 weeks she has become more tired and her memory has become worse. She doesnt seem to know what day it is and sometimes she doesnt even recognize some of her family members.
