Guest guest Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 Hi Eva! I had severe short term memory loss...and some LTM. It went on for so long. I started taking Vitamin b in largish doses and within 4 weeks the difference was quite astounding. For 8 weeks I took 2 500mcg B-12. After that i take a combination pill of 50 mcg of B-6 and B-12. It has made SUCH a difference for me. Just thought i would mention it. Eva....how have you found the pump? Any negative side effects? How has it improved your life so far? I am curious since it has been mentioned as a possibility for me....but I want to wait and really get some feedback on it. Hugs! Di.....PLS......Canada > > Thanks Ronnie for the kind thoughts.
