Re: - normal symptom of B-12

Your body is going to be flushing out toxins for a number of weeks after

beginning B-12 either in your bile if your lucky (causes diarrhea) or face

if unlucky (acne). This means you have toxins and it's working. Your

condition will improve if you continue. This therapy will take a lot of

pressure off your liver and it will begin to shrink back to normal size.

Your weight will also return to nomal (if CFS caused increase) because your

body may have created extra layer of fat to provide additional protection

from toxins. I haven't heard of lung problems before. We'll probably get a

lot of interest from women whe they hear the weight loss factor. A few

months ago when I mentioned this on the About.com CFS website I was deluged

with replies from women who had gained weight since contracting CFS. Steve
