Re: progesterone gel for the quick fix??? boob pain drives me insane :(
Yes. Just because you have b12 inside you doesnt mean you body is able to use it. This is not conjecture but scientific fact.
You must not have looked very hard if you cant find anything.
Here is just one of many links I found in 30 seconds of googling.
http://www.bcshguidelines.com/documents/BCSH_Cobalamin_and_Folate_Guidelines_(2).docx.pdf
Pay special attention to the section on page 3 titled "Cobalamin deficiency" where it states:
"Furthermore, patients with strong clinical features of cobalamin deficiency may have serum cobalamin levels which lie within the reference range (false normal cobalamin level)."
Once again, im not stating this is your problem, just trying to educate you that when you put the blinders on and think you have your bases covered then you close the door to other possible causes and may totally miss the boat. No matter how much I think I know I am still constantly learning. Learning ceases when you think you have it all understood.
I dont want you to take my word for it, I want you to go out and research what I say for yourself. The majority of your learning will come not from me or the links I provide but what you find while searching to prove or disprove what I say.
