B12 deficiency and PCOS

I am an 18 year old female just recently diagnosed with PCOS and waiting to rule out Cushings syndrome. I was wondering did anyone get diagnosed with B12 deficiency (Pernicious anemia) along with PCOS ?

Yes! I have the same thing. I never considered it to be linked with it- but after reading all this stuff, it woulden't suprise me. The best one to take is in liquid form, b12 plus the other b vitamins all in one. I got mine at a health food/vitamin place. It really helps
