Hi Julie,
Wow, 46 pounds, I am so in awe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
(I'm afraid to weigh myself because I become obsessed, which quickly leads to depression. but I have lost 10 inches around my waist... and need to lose another 10.)
What is so worrying to me is that doctors are constantly telling patients that their B12 test was normal and that they are just fine for B12.
But ... do you know what your level was?
I was told I could not have a B12 shot when my B12 level topped 180, because my "B12 level was normal".
So I suffered.
Now, because I kept notes, I know that when my level falls below 900 that I begin to feel depressed.
But I bet my level is way WAY higher than 2000, now.
That's because I have a lot of B12 shots, because without them I quickly have PN pain and loss of feeling in my feet, which is SOOOOO dangerous. (Take it from me, I got tetanus because I couldn't feel a broken bit of darning needle in my toe.)
B12 is not a dangerous vitamin. You can take vast/huge amounts of it because what your body doesn't need it excretes.
And the thing with B12 is that it has to be the methylcobalamin form before our bodies can use it.
So when I have a B12 shot (cyanocobalamin) my body turns some of that into the usable methylcobalamin, and then that can rebuild my nerves.
What makes you think that vitamin B12 is dangerous? or vitamin C...
?
