Heart Pernicious Anemia and difficulty getting diagnosed

I just wrote to someone who I apparently can't send a direct message to, so I'm posting here what I wanted to say:

OMG, I didn't reply last week because I thought you sent a "friend" request, which I'm afraid I haven't understood in the past. I find it really hard to figure out what to do to activate it.

But, your medical story is so shocking. 68 is half of where I was when my deficiency was called "profound" on a bill, but no one ever mentioned it to me, so if I hadn't read the bill I wouldn't have known.

Then it was so hard to get the B12 shots, they were so expensive at the doctor's. It took almost another whole year to find a doctor who prescribed the cyanocobalamin to me so that I could inject myself. He did that because my mother had pernicious anemia and I was having the strange sensations in my feet.

But, I was still only using 1 shot a month. It wasn't until I had tetanus that I began using the shot-a-day prescription that I'd been given by a holistic doctor. That made HUGE difference. I still use that amount, but now I use lozenges. Have one in my mouth right now. (one of five to six that I will use today, each being the 5mg)

I have to go work on legal stuff.

(((((((((((Person I was writing to, and everyone with this kind of problem)))))))))))))
