contentuser I am B12 deficient and I have osteoarthritis, could this be MS. I always feel tired, I have been taking B12 injections for about 3yrs. now It dosen't make me have any more energy or feel better, also take mobic for the arthritis. The B12 has messed up my memory some, I don't think that has got any better from the injections either. I am clumsy <sp. always running into door facings and things like that. Any info. or suggestions? Thanks Penney
