The film behind the book, Sally Pacholok...

I know it's a little "Hollywood", but if you want to pass this on, it clearly highlights the problems that surround B12D within the medical profession. It was quite poignant for me as I went through 2 years of absolute hell, following a year of declining health that included memory and stamina loss, culminating in being in such pain that I was almost totally unable to walk. I was getting nowhere and only received treatment after putting both my doctor and the GP practice on notice of a medical malpractice case if they did not take me seriously and act properly, I effectively ended up dictating my treatment. To cut it short, I have now been on weekly B12 injections, for over 18 months and my mobility is back to normal, and all my pains have gone. I still have tinnitus on my left side and numbness in both feet, but I feel totally normal again. This film, once you see through the typical film dramatisation, is about Sally Pacholok, and her book "Could It Be B12?: An Epidemic of Misdiagnoses", nicknamed SallyB12 due to her tenacity with this affliction after finding out she also was a sufferer who had gone undiagnosed, enjoy and pass it on.......

Loved this film! These days I feel like Sally did so many people I know have B12 symptoms & their GP's won't treat them, I'm always sending info to people about testing etc :)
