I assume there is a "in lack" lacking there! Or something similar.

As a sufferer of Pernicious Anaemia, I know lack of B12 can affect nerve
function, hence I suppose brain function. But my (slight) nerve symptoms
were in my arms and legs.

In what form may I ask Jim?

My leg cramps got worse, also got "twitchy legs". And my sense of position
where my hand was (with out looking) got worse. I got clumsy, putting
down mugs and misjudging so clashing the mug on the table of letting go
too soon. I learnt to watch doing things.

The hand clumsyness returns ocassionally before my B12 injection is due.

I'd always put down the slight depression
before disgnosis as related to exhaustion due to the anaemia.

And what was that caused by? (The email works if you prefer).

Without the ability to absorb B12 in the gut (Pernicious Anaemia) you
can't make efficient use of Iron (affecting oxygen transport in the blood)
- hence get very anaemic, and without B12 injections, die.

(sorry if over explaining)

I had 'a differentially high white blood count' (or somesuch) when in
my teens that appears as a lack of energy / strength (I thought the MM
van steering was seizing up!) and that turned out to be the after /
side affect of having glandular fever?
