Hello, just happened to find this terrific spot. I couldn't resist telling those of you dealing with b12 issues the following: I have been to four specialists and was days away from major surgery when someone finally said, "oh yes, why don't we check your B12 level" ... after numerous mri's, brain scans, xrays.... On a scale of 211 to 989, my B12 reading was 67. (Is that some kind of world record??? 67!!!!! OMG. I then was given ONE shot 1000 cmg and sent on my way with no follow up instructions. Needless to say I am going to the fifth doctor TODAY. wish me luck and blessings to all of you facing your personal challenges. pearl girl
