Do You Take Vitamin B12 Supplements or Get it in Your Food?  

Interesting, I didn't know that B12 helped with anemia. I used to have that a lot when I was younger. Now I haven't had a problem for almost a decade.

When I was a teenager I got anemia. First I was taking Geritol liquid (tastes like a rusty nail LOL) Then I was getting iron shots from the doctor, those hurt like crazy! Then he told me to take B12 which I did for years. As an older adult, the anemia comes once in a blue moon so it isn't that bad

Yeah, a vegan diet doesn't naturally have B12 in it. I've found that it's added to most processed vegan meals however, so I still don't take a supplement.

Why will you have to take this as a pill one day? Just curious.

Me too, I could never remember to take pills daily. Even when I'm sick and I absolutely have to take something, I usually have to put up huge reminders for myself. And I'll take the least amount possible. When I had my wisdom teeth out, I took all of the antibiotics, but none of the pain pills because they weren't absolutely essential.

I am the exact same way. I don't even bother going to the doctor when I'm sick anymore - unless I'm extremely bad - because it's just a waste of time and money. I prefer letting the sickness/cold run its course.
My gastrologist gave me a script to help with my constant nausea but I didn't take it cause it had horrid side effects. When I went back I told her so she changed it to something that is acutally supposed to help my gastritis - which helps with the nausea.

I go in and then just tell them what I want. Usually, they'll go for it. But now that I have insurance things have changed a bit, for the worse mostly since there is more protocol to follow when "helping" someone who has insurance.

Today I got 2 moles removed though when I went in for one. If I didn't care about the biopsies, I suppose I could have done those myself too. But I'm not that crazy. Well, usually.

LOL - well I really didn't know what to take for the neausa and since she thought it might be my gallbladder anyway I wasn't sure what to do. But now I think she's convinced it's not the gallbladder though it is operating completely (only slightly).

I would hope you wouldn't take off your moles by yourself LOL. That sounds dangerous! I hope the biopsy's come out okay!

Thanks, I should get the results in a week or two from now.

I do know someone who removed a mole themselves, but no, I'm not that crazy. :)

WOW! They were brave!
