I don't know if everyone does this or not. I was asked if I live in the UK. No is the answer to that question. I live in the US, in Nebraska.

Hi Whatdayisit the reason you were asked if you were in the U.K. is that the guidelines and method of treatment of B12 deficiency / P.A. differs from those in the United States.

Please feel free to ask any questions you have.

Lovely photograph by the way.

I wish you well

B12 books I found useful

"What You Need to Know About Pernicious Anaemia and B12 Deficiency" by Martyn Hooper

Martyn Hooper is the chair of PAS (Pernicious Anaemia Society).

"Living with Pernicious Anaemia and Vitamin B12 Deficiency" by Martyn Hooper

Has several case studies.

"Could it Be B12?: An Epidemic of Misdiagnoses" by Sally Pacholok and JJ. Stuart (USA authors)

Very comprehensive with lots of case studies. There is also a paediatric version of this book "Could It Be B12? Paediatric Edition: What Every Parent Needs to Know".
