<<Disclaimer: Verify this information before applying it to your situation.>> Hi Everyone, Thanks to all that responded to my question on Vitamin B12. I did respond to some of you individually. I have had the testing done but I have not gotten the results yet. Some of you think that I should have the shots if I am deficient and others have said they take Vitamin B12 orally. I gather that we all have this malabsoption problem, and I do follow the diet religiously. I take multi-vitamins, calium with vitamin D and also Actonel for ostioporisis. I do have a checkup every year and this is the first time that a doctor has said anything to me before results are in. I do not have any tingling or numbness or fatigue or loss of balance. I will go for a second opinion before I start taking shots or any more medications. I have had bad reactions to B 12 shots and that is a real concern for me. Virginia
