This is really interesting, and a good pointer to always stay on the ball and watch what's necessary and what isn't! Thanks for sharing your experience!

Oops, wrong chronological order. :) Hello Pinkgothic, Just read this thread and I want to welcome you. Thank you! I appreciate it! I am your mom's age and started having symptoms about 7 or 8 years ago that gradually got worse. Before the Bredesen book came out I was lucky enough to get a copy of hi...

Hi, NF52! Although your B12 levels would now be considered within the "normal" range, I wanted to share my experience as a participant in a study of healthy people ages 60-75 who have one or two copies of ApoE 4 (I have two and am 67 years old.) My B-12 level on testing in March 2018 was 4...

Did your doctors just see your levels were low and add the supplement, or did they figure out what might hav...

Thanks for the links and the warm welcome, Davida! I'll definitely be reading more and more of this site in the coming weeks and months and appreciate the nudge in the right directions.

I really appreciate all the information you folks have put together. Thanks for that!

Hi, just wanted to check in here and thank you for existing. :) I'm currently 34 years old and recently (last two years especially) struggled badly with my cognition, deteriorating to the point where I was constantly depressed, where my light and sound sensitivity were dialled up to eleven, where my...
