See http://www.pernicious-anaemia-socie...Hi Dr John<br />See http://www.pernicious-anaemia-society.org/. and www.B12d.org for the most up to date information on B12d. You would be wise to make sure your deficiency is due to. lack of B12 in your diet rather than mal adsorption of this important vitamin. The later means you will need B12 injections life long. It is a common misconception that B12d only affects vegetarians and elderly people. An NHS GP in Durham has shown 18% per cent of the general population are deficient in this vitamin. Many will be unaware they have inborn errors that prevent absorption through the gut when their B12 reserve is compromised. Makes sense to get yourself tested and avoid its end case vascular dementia associated with this deadly disease if it isn't properly treated. Folate and ferritin also have to be in balance with B12 for a good return to health. Its a complicated illness and few doctors have a handle on it. these two societies will help you manage your deficiency properly. New guidelines are expected from Nice within the next twelve months. Hope this helps.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
