Who Knew? #1

A loved one of Little Man has been diagnosed as being unable to absorb the vitamin B-12. This individual is being treated with a series of B-12 shots, plus is taking hig dose B-12 pills. Already an improvement is felt, but what is amazing is the range of symptoms that this condition will cause. Type "pernicious anemia" into google to read all about it. I've written that to say this: when you have a routine blood test done, ask to have your B-12 levels checked! It is something that is not mentioned much, but has a huge effect if they are out of whack.
