The last doctor I saw thought that my cluster of symptoms might be due to a B12 deficiency. The easiest way to find out if you are deficient is to take some. If you are low, you should feel more energetic. If you’re not, you’ll just pee out the excess.
I picked up a bottle of B12 at the store and took some for several days. Each day brought with it unpleasant stomach cramps but no extra energy. I looked up B12 side effects. Reported incidents were relatively low. For women the most common complaint was shortness of breath. Stomach ailments, however, were almost exclusively listed by men.
This got me thinking about the game of Boy or Girl that Toby and I play where he adamantly insists that I am a boy. Before I was kidding about him knowing something I don’t, but now I’m less and less sure…
You should listen to me more. I know what I’m barking about.

The Adventures of Bitey Dog 
I LEARNED EVERYTHING ABOUT B12 FROM THE PAIN MMANAGEMENT FDR I SAW 3 YEARS AGO !!
MOST PEOPLE ARE DEFICIENT. ITS NOT UNCOMMON TO HAVE TO TAKE WHAT I HAVE TO AR0OUND 5000 !!! I COLD PROBABLY WRITE A THESIS ON B12 !!!!
Ooh, tell me more! I was hoping that it might help, but I didn’t notice any benefits from my experiment.
If in doubt, consult a dog….they know.
Does this go for taxes too?
Without doubt!
Take my advice, don’t let Toby run a test on you
I dunno…could he do any worse than the doctors?
The key words are “almost exclusively .” You know you’re an exceptional person, right? 💜
Why is it always in the goofiest ways?! 😆
😂
I have to take B complex because otherwise I start doing weird things like passing out for no apparent reason. That’s kinda fun when it scares the crap out of people but it also makes me feel like throwing up all over them so there’s that. Also, Toby is right about many things but if you start using pronouns, I’m done.
Are you able to takev a pill/sublingual, or do you go for shots? How did you figure out what the problem was?
Nah, just regular pronouns here! 😊
I take pills. Old family doctor prescribed when I was young – my blood pressure was almost nonexistent
Sounds like mine except my doctor feels that low is normal for me. 🤷♀️
Low is not how he described it. It was 40/80. He wanted to put me in the hospital
Yikes! I’ve never known anyone with inverted numbers like that!! 😧. Was it all due to B12, or was something else happening?
I’m not sure – old country doctor who didn’t really do a lot of testing
It sounds like he knew what he was doing if you are still going strong after all these years. Did you feel sick back when this was going on?
I was sleeping all the time. Like 16 hours a day – I would fall asleep eating dinner, go to bed at 6 pm and sleep all night. Get up at 6, go to work from 7-3, fall asleep on the sofa, wake up for an hour for some dinner and go to bed
“WE should ALL listen to Toby more!” – Cooper 😉
I’ve never taken B12…but I’ve been told to take Potassium and VitD.
I’ve read that salmon and eggs are good sources of B12.
Q: B5, B12, C, And D show up at your door…Whattya do?
A: In-Vitamin 😉 😀
(((HUGS))) 🙂
PS…coming off a busy last week and super busy holiday whee-kend…finally playing WP catch-up today! 🙂
Oh groan! What a way to start the work week…with a Bad Dad joke! 😆
YAY!!! 😀
Years ago, when men told me those kinda’ jokes I called them groan-ers. Then somewhere sometime someone came up with the term Dad joke. 🙂
