Daryl,

I am so glad that you've been in touch with Marie and that the three of you are still friends and want to help each other out. That is wonderful, and I hope that you will be encouraged!

I am really disgusted that your doctor won't give you B12 shots. It is not surprising, however, as so many doctors seem to neglect this one important vitamin for some reason--I truly do not understand how stubborn they can be about this! If you need to get some B-12 and want to try it for yourself, I can vouch that it is totally safe, that you will not have ANY nasty side effects, and I do know how you can get some by mail, for injection, from a reliable source. If you are interested, I will send you the info, just let me know. I can tell you that my personal experience with B12 has shown it to be necessary for me--I went from feeling like I was dragging my butt on the ground to wanting to dance--within about 15 minutes after taking the shot! It was that dramatic! When I give myself shots now, it is not that dramatic because I feel so so so so so much better, and I can go for weeks without remembering to take one. I'll tell you one more reason why I think your doctor is neglecting you--you are a vegetarian, you eat NO meat, and it is COMMON KNOWLEDGE that vegetarians will become deficient in B12 because B12 is found mainly in animal products. Vegetarian sites will almost always tell you that you need to supplement B12. Here's an excellent article from Hallelujah Acres about it.

If your doctor knows you are a vegetarian, then he is neglecting you big time.

Get thee some Vitamin B12, Daryl! If you want to have a shot of it, come see me. As for the pain creams, I have no knowledge of anything that works, unfortunately.

Love,

Patty

First of all I want to tell you that I spoke to Marie tonight and wetalked about the group. Luckily, e, Marie, and I are stillfriends and would like to get on with helping each other and others. I feelbetter now because I felt like I was the one that caused all this trouble. Also, I have had worse body aches than usual lately and have been sleepingso much. Does anyone know of any vitamins or supplements I can take to feelmore awake? I've asked my Dr. for B-12 shots and he said no because hethinks they don't work. I've also been buying all different types of creamfor pain and have wasted alot of money. Do you know any kind that works?Prescription or over the counter? I want to cut down on pain med. because mymemory is so bad and I sleep so much. I hope to have a good holiday and find a PS here in Las Vegas to do myexplant. I'm waiting to be approved by an ins. company to get health ins.The holidays have been hard since I've been sick so if anyone out there isdepressed this year, please talk to me! I'd love to try and cheer you up andforget about me for a change!Love, Daryl -E-mail Daryljean@...
