loligo

Nope, it doesn't have the nifty alliteration of Agatha All Along, but when I found out at the beginning of September that I was severely deficient in B12, it suddenly rewrote my understanding of everything that has happened with my health in the last 6 years, at least, and possibly the last 12 years.

So Happy New Year, everyone! I am no longer slowly dying of a nutrient deficiency!

Some things have already gotten noticeably better in the past 4 months of intensive supplementation. Other people with long-standing deficiencies say that recovery often takes at least a year, and improvements can continue for 2-3 years.

I have never been simultaneously so happy and so angry about the same thing. So very glad to have hope for the future, but so pissed off at the wasted years. I hope to have the time and energy soon to come back and fill in all the details and share the things I have learned about this powerful, mysterious and complicated vitamin.
