   You do know how to turno phrase.   
      
   Have you had your vitamin B12 checked ?   
   (That's a hobby for old people.)   
      
   We had one guy in another group, he was starting   
   to slip. And he was given the warning about   
   B12 level. First, he could manage a post with   
   a couple sentences. Then he was down to one or   
   two words. Then, he disappeared from USENET, and   
   I heard no mention of an obit. It could just as   
   easily be dementia, but the attack was pretty   
   aggressive, whatever it was.   
      
   If your B12 is too low, it does permanent damage, so   
   later taking some pills does not help. It can be   
   measured via a blood test.   
      
   Mine was a bit low, my doctor-who-is-not-a-doctor   
   overreacted, he was giving me a shot once a week   
   for four weeks. To bring me back up. Another doctor   
   wouldn't give me my monthly shot, forcing me to test   
   whether pills work or not.   
      
   Three months later, I ordered another blood test, and   
   I was still in-band, so I just stay on the pills.   
      
   The shots are only necessary, if your digestive   
   system does not absorb B12. My deficiency is caused   
   by poor diet. I'm able to digest the pills just fine,   
   so don't have to resort to shots. By my math, you'd   
   have to eat three roast beef dinners per day to get enough B12.   
   As a consequence, I don't know how "regular" people   
   get by. Cooked canned clams are an excellent source   
   of B12. There is more B12 in there, than the RDA for it.   
   But that's not exactly "tasty".   
      
   In the area I live in, 300,000 people receive a B12   
   shot every month. Just, ridiculous. The news article about   
   it was asking whether this was "reasonable" or not.   
   You know at least a few of them (like me), could be   
   on the pills instead. But the doctors just don't have   
   the time to be pissing around with this stuff. The   
   topic is handled poorly.   
      
   I don't see a reason to be concerned in your case,   
   but just thought the occasional mention is a good idea,   
   for the people who "never go to a doctor". Some people   
   know their diet isn't good, and it's not just   
   vegetarians who have low B12.
