are you taking vitamin b or b12 or both? what other vitamins are you taking? how fast did you feel a change after you started taking them?

hey - i had tests done and also have to get vit. b shots! i had posted another note regarding this... it's a very interesting correlation because b12 deficiences can cause neurological issues...my count was so low my doctor thought i was vegan!

Anxiety is not diagnosed through a blood test, rather doctors usually rule out other causes for the symptoms you are experiencing and can also evaluate certain patterns of behavior which can lead to someone to believe that you have anxiety.  Do you think you are suffering from anxiety?  Fortunately, there are steps and many resources at your disposal to be able to thrive with this...keep us posted and feel free to ask as many questions as you like!
