smerchly Posted May 6, 2022 Report Share Posted May 6, 2022 I've been feeling "under the weather" for several months or more , some days better than others . I had a blood/urine test Wednesday I got a call from my doc. today and he said I need to start taking B12 .. immediately as my "older" body cannot get enough from foods . I have most of the symptoms of low iron which makes one feel "out of sorts" . So off I go to get some picker-uppers and hopefully get back to feeling like 40 again ! I can't let those 'big ones' beat me again ! Check your iron bank guys ! Bubba14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mbocco Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Glad you got the blood test. I hope you bought under the tongue B12. It’s FAR more absorbable. smerchly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't aware of the best way to take them , doctor's secretary called and said take 1000 mcg B12's per day , started this morning . I read some info on line , prefer reading the Mayo Clinic for most info . Maybe I should pick up some of those under the tongue tablets and save these ones later for general maintenance .

Mbocco Posted May 7, 2022 Report Share Posted May 7, 2022 Sure. Typically we become low in B12 because as we get older our stomachs lack the chemical required to properly absorb B12. So under the tongue solves that he stomach issue. smerchly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
