Help Falling

Falling was on the news an evening or two ago. The news reported that old people fall a lot. The news had numbers. Big numbers.

The news also said that when an older person falls and breaks a hip, it often leads to death.

So. I want to mention that low B12 causes reduced feeling and impaired feeling and can lead to falling.

When my B12 was very low I couldn't walk without some sort of support, so since I didn't want to use a walker, I only walked in grocery stores or Wal*Mart where I could hold on to a cart.

My feet regained nearly all their feeling after I had a LOT of b12 replacement. a LOT.

So, if you know someone who is older and has some diabetic neuropathy... please tell them ... (I don't know what to write next)... please tell them to get Methylcobalamin, because that's the form of B12 that is capable of regenerating nerves.
