It isn't always just an accepted part of ageing, is it ?
Hard to work out the difference yourself - it used to be easy: just get an older doctor !
What to do now they've all left; I've no plan B !
Do you think you're getting enough B12?
If you have neurological symptoms (memory problems would count), I would expect you to have had....
A B12 injection every other day until your symptoms stopped improving then a B12 injection every 2 months.
See link below which talks about UK treatment for B12 deficiency

Have you been diagnosed with PA (Pernicious Anaemia)?
If you don't think you're getting enough B12 then next two links might be helpful.

Keep asking questions and I'm sure someone will try to answer them.
