Chit chat, eh? Welcome to the discussion, Smokey.

Did they ever figure out the CAUSE of your vitamin B12 deficiency? Probably not. Some reasons are H Pylori infection, pernicious anemia (another autoimmune disease) and achlorhydria (which those with pernicious anemia have too). Without stomach acid, people tend to have more infections, because we need that to digest food, reduce GI tract inflammation and a host of other reasons. Without it, food putrefies in the gut. Lovely, right?

Anything that adversely effects the immune system will effect your MG, in my opinion.

I hope you'll revisit allergies with your allergist. Or possibly get a 2nd opinion. Why are you having shots for ten years, is what I'm wondering. Have you ever tried anything like Astelin? It's an antihistamine nasal spray.

I'm sorry you're having trouble working.

DF, That is a good analogy by Alice. You never know with MG what you can't do until you try to do something. It's so deceptive when you reduce your life to the simplest of things like doing dishes.
