    The referring neurologist tested my B12 level in August. It was 406. Low but acceptable.  Last week the MDS did another and it had dropped to 266. We agreed I would supplement.

    Perhaps a C/L side effect?

    <p style=”text-align: center;”>I joined this forum after I was diagnosed at 65(only because the C/L helps) with Parkinson’s on October 10th, for support and to increase my knowledge, and it has been a great resource. Not long after, some of my symptoms increased, though still no tremors.  Now I am diagnosed with Parkinsonism.</p>

    Jean, my MDS responded within an hour yesterday when I emailed to correct something in his notes regarding my initial consultation.

    He agreed to update the notes to reflect my symptoms, which leads me to believe he is agreeable to communicating this way.  I appreciated his quick, personal response.

    Several of my other providers have their staff respond and I doubt they ever actually read the emails.
