So good to read of someone feeling better. I despetately miss my old self too. I was such an active person before this. Might try the B12 tablets. Do you get that high dose on prescription or can you buy it? I asked my GP about the injections before, but he didn't refer me for them. Have a friend who had a B12 injection for M E but he had a terrible reaction to it, skin rashes etc. Glad it is working for you chicme.

Hello

So glad for you that you are feeling well I too have been taking

The same can't say that there is a lot of difference.

But taking magnesium has helped lots with restless legs, I have

Been Vit B for a long time as has my husband who has RA and it

Does seem to make a little difference not as tired

Some of the symptoms you have stated would be from anaemia,

so it's good that you have started Vit B

I hope you continue to improve.
