Thanks to mrsD and Melody...I have been taking B12 half-heartedly, but it's the cyco-whatchamahoozits because I bought a big jar before I knew the difference. I've mostly been focused on the vitamin D because I did test low on that. But you've convinced me--will get some methyl tomorrow.

And put some rocks in your pockets Mel...it's been blowing like the devil here in Pittsburgh since the wee hours this morning and still is as I type, so you'll probably be getting it until tomorrow morning at least.

Yeah, it's really windy out here on the island too. I wish the pollen would all blow away!!! They are promising winds of 25-30 mph with gusts up to 40.

Joan, it is true that methycobalamin is best, but some people do well on cynacobalamin too. I wouldn't toss it, well, with money as tight as it is, I wouldn't.

I take 5000mcg of Jarrow Methycobalamin, have for about 3 yrs I think. My B12 level was 1700 in Jan and my neuro told me to stay with this dose.

I finally figured out that I am super sensitive and had been getting glutened by foods I trusted to be GF simply because they were labeled as so. Now that I have stopped eating any processed foods I am finally losing weight. So come June when I see my neuro again, I am hoping my vitamin numbers are going up where they belong now..we will see.

Booyah! Count me in the B12 club!

Deb, you invented a new verb: glutened! At least I think it's new. I like it!

My problem is that ever since I started losing weight for no reason about a year ago, I can get away with eating any old $#!+ that I want without Mr. Scale punishing me. I have to get back to the way I used to before I became one of those people I always hated.
