Delda, They may have had pernicious anemia which is the failure of B-12 to be absorbed in the gut. This illness can cause neurological problems. And energy is so subjective it is greatly affected by placebos especially the placebo affect of an injection. I remember how much better I would feel immediately after receiving an injection for a viral illness when Doctors made house calls. The antibiotics given were found to be of no benefit. It worked but so does voodoo work on believers. Charlie Delda White wrote: > > Charlie: I have heard several times about older people getting B-12 shots > and finding that the shots helped.
