It so closely mirrored my own, I was close to tears in reading it. I lost so much because of the mental effects of my b12 deficiency. My prayers were finally answered now that I am almost 40, practically suicidal, confused all the time, unemployed, depressed... the difference today, compared to last month is nothing short of miraculous. I have truly been reborn - and I will savour my new found energy, outlook and renewed mental capacity. God bless, sean Calgary, CANADA thank-you for sharing your experience.

I recently came across this great new health product that is loaded with Vitamin B12, vital Fruits. It's essentially a product that was produced to compete with Mona Vie. A Super fruit beverage that is Full of RESVERATROL. (the key ingredient in Red Wine) It is measured with an ORAC value. Vital Fruits is 33% cheaper than Mona Vie and has a higher ORAC Value.

I'll tell you how I know: I've always been really sharp - graduated with a 3.9 GPA studying electrical engineering, WHILE working to pay my way though school. I started working a job where I had to wake up very early, travel A LOT to different time zones, and was surrounded by very intelligent people. I started taking 200 mg of provigil daily since it helped me be completely awake throughout the day without being jittery like on coffee, but more and more I felt like an idiot around my new colleagues. I would go to meetings and could barely remember any details. After investigating this "miracle drug" that is touted as perfect, i learned that people have this problem. Provigil is not perfect, although it is marketed as such. It’s the Provigil.

I myself, have CFS, as well as many other things, one of which is fibromyalgia, another is depression..So I suffer from similar discrimination from SOME doctors. It is sad. your story above is nearly identical to a recent appointment I had with an orthopeadic doc for a wrist injury. His comments and attitude toward me were nasty , unprofessional and tore me apart. He also loudly talked into his recording device,saying his rude remarks about me. I too, left in tears. While there is no excuse for what he did, I did feel better, when that same week, I met another health care professional who told me he had just met that doctor; he had talked to him as a colleague, not as a patient, and was treated horribly, and thus confirmed it wasn't me, but that specialist who has a problem. In my bad doctor experience, he was actually throwing things, while shouting mean things at me, like "there's nothing wrong with your wrist; your only problem is depression and FIBROMYALGIA, (the latter was said in a very sarcastic tone.) Well, thank you for this website. It looks like I'll learn quite a bit.
