Hi all just a question might be the reason why I feel the way I do could vitamin b12 deficiency be hereditary cause my dad has it my sister has and I read about the side effects and they relate to all anxietys stomach problems and is worst when people have digestive problems should I go and get checked for the same thing ?

I had a really bad cellulitis infection what nearly became gangrene and had to have i.v antibiotics I have read that bad infections can lower it also have similar symptoms to my sister who has b12 deficiency

Yes stress anxiety and being poorly can lower it as well as diet. My levels are slowly building back up. Ask your doc for a b12 blood test. Hope you feel better soon
