B12 and Depression

I've been really struggling for the past month or so with my emotions.  I finally decided I needed to do some research today to see if I could find anything to help.  Of course I came across lots of information about B12 and depression.  One website even had the following information:  "While most doctors would never consider such a possibility, studies have documented local cerebral deficiencies of B12 (using cerebrospinal fluid levels as a measure) in people with alzheimers, and people with brain atrophy." So the dosage that seemed to be recommended was at least 2000mcg per day.  I checked my medication list which I have on my computer, and it said I was taking 2000mcg daily.  Then I checked my pill box, and discovered that somehow over the past few months, I've changed and am only taking 125mcg a day.  I imagine I saw a good sale on B12, and forgot that I needed the higher dosage.  So hopefully my tears will dry up and blow away!

TAG Day

Friday was Tag Day in Picton to raise awareness of alzheimers and raise money for the local Alzheimers society chapter.  Volunteers are placed strategically at many store front locations with Alzheimers Awareness Tags and boxes for donations.  As we came out of our grocery store I stopped to make a donation.  The volunteer, who works at a nursing home, said what a terrible disease it was.  I agreed, telling her I had been diagnosed four years ago, but was doing incredibly well.  Later as I was thinking about that conversation, I was thinking that maybe I'm one of the lucky ones.  If I had been diagnosed with cancer four years ago, would I still be here enjoying each day?
Today I am wrapped up in a cozy blanket in my recliner, watching huge waves crashing on the shoreline.  I'm also wearing my headphones to dull the roar of the rain thundering on our tin roof, and two electric heater fans blowing!  We could have gone back to our apartment, but this is rather neat!
