Petition for Funding & Research of Vitamin B12 Deficiency

This petition was mentioned in a recent post but, so far, has not had many signatures, probably because not widely seen:

petition.parliament.uk/peti...

I have also emailed my MP, who has replied, "this is a most concerning issue" and is asking the Health Secretary to look into the issues raised.

It would be great if you could please sign the petition and possibly email or write your MP just a short note emphasising the scale of the problem.

Thank you.

I tried unsuccessfully to sign the petition. Having filled in my details all I get is a message saying I haven't clicked on the link in my email address - I can find no link to click on

You should receive an email to the email address you gave.

You need to click on the link in that email

One of the features of using the governments on-line surveys - probably a way of making it so difficult nobody actually manages to complete a survey so :)

Yes! I'd "attempted" several times and been confused by the final page about the email link and it wasn't until I actually routinely later went into my emails that I discovered I had half a dozen "new" ones with the "missing links" :D

I know the feeling - I wondered why the figures rose so quickly :D

To be honest I only clicked on one link and deleted the others. I guess there would be a check to prevent duplications?

Yes - just joking....

After your first post, I was trying it out the second time with abbreviated name to explain clearly how it worked and was amazed that it went through !

I've just signed it again and it didn't stop me signing twice :D

Once you've filled in your details, log out and the link will then come up in your inbox. You then just click to confirm your email address.

Hope this helps but you've maybe already done this.
