Vitamin B-12 Deficiency
A couple of years ago I noticed that Lauren was a little off her game. Now, the short term memory thing is part of our every day life and we actually have fun with it but things were becoming a bit concerning for me. She was becoming erratic and began having issues with activities normally performed every day like setting the coffee for the morning or she would put the cream for her coffee back in the cabinet, not the refrigerator. A trip to the Doctor led us to getting a blood test which revealed that Lauren’s B-12 levels were very low. At first they wanted Lauren to have monthly B-12 shots but I researched further and found that many were having very good results with sublingual B-12 vitamins. Sure enough after the first month, B-12 levels went from 180 to 550…a very nice improvement. We’ve been using Sublingual B-12 ever since and have had no recurrences. Here are a couple of resources for vitamin B-12 deficiency:

Micronutrient Information Center – Vitamin B-12
Just a quick note, I prefer using sublingual vitamin B-12 with Methylcobalamin. As always…check w/ your Doctor!
