Thanks Rose. I'm supplementing with the other vitamins you mentioned (but it could fall in the etc category ), so I guess we'll wait and see. One thing I've noticed lately is that I'll inadvertantly "chew" my B12 instead of letting it fully dissolve. I wonder if I'm not absorbing as much that way. It is a definite reminder to be thankful for the good things in life - its so easy to take them for granted! Good to "see" you again!
