Sherri... I'd appreciate it if you could email me the address and sign-p
instructions for the MS list you belong to. I have a number of friends with
MS who've been looking for something like out PD list for a long time! I'll
be happy to pass the information on to them.
Thanks...

I am active on a mailing-list something like this one for people with MS,
and B12 has come up quite a few times for helping with neurogenic fatigue.
This is only anecdotal evidence, of course, but while it seems like more
people are helped by Amantadine or Cylert, these drugs are little help for
many, and some of those people report being helped by B12. They usually
have better results from the injections than the pills, and I think they
usually get their neurologists to prescribe it. Of course, I know that the
mere process of giving myself an injection will often give me an adrenalin
rush, so perhaps the placebo effect is particularly powerful in this instance.
Prolonged B12 deficiency can cause fatigue and a number of other neurological
symptoms, so it may be a good idea to get a blood test for it once in awhile,
especially if you're of high northern European descent, as it's these groups
who are most likely to have problems absorbing B12.
