Yes, bit worrying - back to the one size fits all approach without any real proof that one size does fit all.

Don't have a problem in theory with tablets becoming prescription medication though unlikely they would become prescription only - as it could make life easier if you are someone for whom tablets do work but haven't got the financial resources to cope purchase for yourself. Would really like to see more research go into other forms of delivery and actually more choice being available to people - rather than just available to those of us who can afford to pay.

I really hope they don't change from injections to tablets 3 months is a struggle as it is (funny that only 6 people out of 7,000 said that they could last on 3 monthly injections). They already know people with PA can't absorb B12 in the stomach so why change? cheaper perhaps?
