if u take some b12, go for the methylcobalamin. as opposed to cyanocobalamin. shorter shelf life, costs a bit more, but it's the "right" one. you may want to consider taking a hefty b-complex at the same time to help with absorption. i have had my docs telling me my b situation was fine based on my bloodwork, but i noticed my biggest single improvement when i took a bunch of b vitamins one day. as i have said elsewhere, i got my position sense back in my arms and hands, and could type again within an hour.

anyway as mentioned above this is all repeats of info elsewhere so i'll sign off now :)
Get the one that disolves under your tongue. You can get this in Cherry Flavor from the Vitamin Shoppe. They have a website too. I shop at the store they have in DC. It's a very legit business if you're not familiar with it. napay

hey Jimmy, did you see my 102 post? I finally almost finished it.

yea i have a tongue melter too, i was trying to go for flavourless but they all seem too sweet to me after a while! i didn't get the point of sublinguals at first but finally read that it goes straight into the bloodstream from there, not thru digestive tract... so don't swallow too often. u probably already know that rhat but just in case, or for other future readers ;)

no napay haven't checked out the 102 lately but i will right now!
