Pernicious anemia ...

Just over twenty years ago I fell ill.
At that time I ran my small business with a staff 
of about twelve people and a family of three young
children, ( and a wife ) to care for and look after.
It follows of course that my health was of little
importance to me, and I had neither the time or
inclination to get it sorted.
         After much bullying from family and friends
I went to see a doctor,( give it me straight Doc ) he
told me if I didn't get it sorted, then pretty soon I
would die, happy days ...
   After tests I found it was much ado about nothing..
all I had was Pernicious Anemia. Altough quite interesting
it was no big deal. No-one really knows how this happens
or why the body destroys your  "Intrinsic factor" although
it's thought that alcohol can be a cause, and I loved my whisky
at that time.

Worth a cut and paste if you're interested...

Anyway, enough waffle, I went for my shot of  Cyanocobalamin today,
and was told it isn't, and wont be, produced ever again.
There is an alternative, Neo-Cytamin , but I am allergic to
this and cannot take it. So hey, life on the edge, exciting times ahead ... 

Life is just a bowl of cherries ......  ain't that the truth ....
