For anyone who doesn't mind (or likes) getting in the weeds of biology, here's a great, concise little article on B12 and inflammation by Dr. Ayers:

Disruption of normal nutrition, gut flora and uptake can result in deficiencies of vitamin B12, methionine and cysteine, with a subsequent cascade of oxidative events leading to inflammation, autoimmunity and degenerative diseases. It seems likely that a similar scenario could be associated with loss of physical activity and muscle mass (sarcopenia) of aging.

This might start to help explaining the source of my inflammation and why exercise may help. CFS folks may also see some explanations.
P.S. I'm still waiting to get the results back from my red-cell blood tests, which include cysteine and glutathione. Should get them in a week.
