| | LACK OF VITAMIN B12: PERNICIOUS ANEMIA |
| | Pernicious anemia is due to lack of vitamin B12 and is characterized by progressive nerve damage that causes forgetfulness, loss of ability to concentrate and abnormal sensations such as burning, itching and loss of feeling. | | | Since low-normal blood level of vitamin B12 do not rule out B12 deficiency, the diagnosis of pernicious anemia is often made late in the course of the disease after many people have suffered permanent nerve damage. | | | According to a recent report in the Archives of Internal Medicine, 2% of Americans over 60 have low blood levels of vitamin B12 (2), but the incidence of vitamin B12 deficiency causing nerve damage in older people is much higher than that, sometimes as high a 50% (3,4). |

| | Pernicious Anemia: An Explanation |
| | In classic pernicious anemia the person lacks "intrinsic factor," a substance made by the stomach which binds to the B12 in food and enables the B12 to be absorbed. | | | Fatigue can be due to so many things that range from the trivial, such as this very hot, humid weather we've been having this summer, to the serious, such as cancer. | | | After a year of B12 injections, your body stores should be more than adequate, so I suspect there is probably another reason to explain your fatigue other than pernicious anemia. |
