I'm dealing with hypoxia lately. It sucks. And, unfortunately, I keep having to field questions like, "Is it because you take so much B12?" or "Is it because you switched from cyanocobalamin to methylcobalamin?".

Hi all, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries over 18 months ago and started getting severe pelvic pain in January 2015. I have been told after a smear test that I also have a tilted womb.

I thought I had been getting along fairly well with my treatment regime of weekly methylcobalamin injections. I had cut back on folic acid tablets to only once a week and hadn't had a return of mouth ulcers, so I figured that was fine also. In Feb I had a noticeable uptick in my level of fatigue which

Hi all.
