Good info, I need to up my B12 intake. I have an inflammatory disease and I can’t stress enough that everyone say 55+, at there annual physical ask to have their hs-CRP levels checked when they do all the other normal blood test. Inflammation is a hidden very bad health issue that no one knows you have if not for the hs-CRP test. High Sensitivity -c Reactive Protein test. My GP didn’t look at mine when my issue arose, the neurologist did mine and my cRP was 156, it is supposed to be under 10 at most labs. I could have gone blind if he didn’t check and that test led to a biopsy of my temple artery which confirmed my diagnosis of Giant Cell Arteritis.

Take your fish oil kids!

Your last sentence mentions you had a biopsy of your temple artery done.

How does a doctor or nurse practitioner take a biopsy of an artery? Is medicine now so precise that a fragment of a very sensitive, still pulsating membrane like an artery can safely be done? If so, I am impressed.
