[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 617759, member: 17713"] My story with b12 and fibromyalgia... 2003 diagnosed with pernicious anaemia (b12 deficency). Not a bad diet.. But eating some bread, some cereal and some home made meals, but also some readymeals. Injections of B12. About 2009 I think a new gp said my levels of B12 did not warrant injections any more. Paid privately to have B12 and mineral infusions. 2012 thought to myself "why don't I just let levels drop and then nhs will have to give me injections. Took multivitamin instead. 2014 stopped multivitamins. Gp's still monitor my B12. They are off the scale on the upper side... Now, the only difference is that really doesn't make sense to me is: I don't eat bread at all. Spuds with 2 dinners a year. Majority of my food is homebaked,no flour. (Except higgledy piggledy crustless quiche) Salads or veg everyday. Coconut products or ground almonds, Cream every day. My levels have jumped so much that I have had to have tests for luekaemia and scans for liver and spleen etc. I have not found a reason (nor gp's) for huge increases in B12 but I would certainly say not to take a separate B12 supplement without a B12 test. I'm not sure how or why my levels have changed so much but I would advise a test before supplements AND try to analyse how much B12 is in your daily diet. And fibro was diagnosed in 2011. Both fibro and pernicious anaemia have now been removed from my records. Fitness wise I feel the best that I have been in 30 years... [/QUOTE]
