Hi, I'm not going to make this long as I posted a thread and later found that I had to sign in and had to rewrite my post.

Anyway, I'm 39 and have rheumatic heart disease. I've been on numerous pills since I was diagnosed in 1984. I was anemic and my doctor prescribed me with iron pills. Last July I found I was losing circulation in my hands and my doctor assumed it was carpel syndrome. Because I lived in a small town doctors came and went and when I went to see another doctor and told him about my problems he sent me to get blood work. when I went back to see him again which was 2 weeks later he informed me that I was very low in B12! It was a wapping 200. I'm not sure about B12 and he didn't really say it was a bad thing but reading the stories on here sure explains A LOT of which is happening to me. Just wanted to thank people who have told their stories at least I know which path to follow.
