September is B12 Awareness Month – please share

The Importance of Raising Awareness about Vitamin B12 Deficiency

Raising awareness about vitamin B12 deficiency is crucial because it's a common condition with a wide range of potentially serious health consequences that are often misunderstood or overlooked. The symptoms can be subtle and mimic other conditions, making accurate diagnosis challenging.

What is Vitamin B12?
Vitamin B12, also known as cobalamin, is an essential nutrient that plays a vital role in several bodily functions. It's necessary for the formation of red blood cells, the maintenance of a healthy nervous system, and the synthesis of DNA. The body cannot produce B12 on its own, so it must be obtained through diet or supplements.
The primary sources of B12 are animal products like meat, fish, eggs, and dairy. For this reason, individuals on vegetarian or vegan diets are at a higher risk of deficiency. Other risk factors include older age, certain medical conditions (like Crohn's disease or celiac disease), and the use of some medications (such as long-term antacids). The autoimmune form of B12 Deficiency is pernicious anaemia and or autoimmune atrophic gastritis.

Symptoms and Health Risks
The symptoms of B12 deficiency can vary widely and often progress gradually. Early signs may include fatigue, weakness, and lightheadedness. As the deficiency worsens, it can lead to more severe issues, including:

Neurological problems: Nerve damage can cause tingling or numbness in the hands and feet (paresthesia), memory loss, and cognitive difficulties. This is a particularly concerning aspect as neurological damage can be permanent if not treated promptly.

Hematological problems: A lack of B12 can cause megaloblastic anemia, a condition where the red blood cells are abnormally large and unable to function properly, leading to symptoms like shortness of breath and extreme fatigue.

Psychological symptoms: Deficiency can also manifest as depression, irritability, and changes in mood.

Because these symptoms are so varied, they are often misattributed to stress, aging, or other health conditions, leading to delayed or missed diagnoses.

Why is Awareness So Important?
Raising awareness can have a significant impact:

Early Detection: It encourages people to recognize potential symptoms and speak with their healthcare providers, leading to early diagnosis and treatment. Simple blood tests can confirm a deficiency, and treatment is typically straightforward with B12 injections or oral supplements.

Prevention: It educates high-risk groups, such as older adults and those on plant-based diets, about the importance of B12 and the need for proactive supplementation.

Reducing Misdiagnosis: By highlighting the wide range of symptoms, it can help both the public and medical professionals consider B12 deficiency as a possible cause for seemingly unrelated health issues.

Ultimately, greater awareness helps prevent the progression of the deficiency to more serious, and potentially irreversible, health problems. It empowers individuals to take charge of their health and ensures that a treatable condition doesn't become a lifelong burden.

From our spinal cord branch 31 pairs of nerves.

8 cervical, 12 thoracic, 5 lumbar, 5 sacral, and 1 coccygeal.

They work tirelessly to relay motor, sensory, and autonomic messages between the spinal cord and every part of the body.

Truly, the human body is a masterpiece of evolution πŸ₯°

Picture it πŸ‘‡

What's the difference between X-Ray, CT scan, and MRI?🐝

X-rays use electromagnetic radiation to create images of bones and dense structures within the body. It is commonly used to detect fractures, infections, tumors, and other abnormalities.

X-rays are quick, relatively inexpensive, and readily available.

CT scans use X-rays and advanced computer processing to create cross-sectional images of the body. They provide more detailed information than traditional X-rays and can show bones, organs, blood vessels, and soft tissues.

CT scans are useful in diagnosing conditions such as internal injuries, tumors, infections, and blood clots.

MRI uses a strong magnetic field and radio waves to create detailed images of soft tissues, organs, and structures inside the body. It provides excellent contrast between different types of soft tissues and is particularly useful for imaging the brain, spinal cord, joints, and muscles.

MRI does not involve ionizing radiation, making it a safer option for imaging, especially for pregnant women and children.

However, MRI scans take longer to perform, are more expensive, and may not be suitable for individuals with certain medical implants or metal objects in their bodies

Not a post I’ve ever put before πŸ˜” …….I’ve had so many cancellations last week & this week all with less than 24hours most a few hours notice 😑 nearly Β£400 out of pocket. Unfortunately this can sometimes be a regular thing. PLEASE GIVE 48hours notice when needing to cancel or reschedule.

Imagine going into work & your boss just decided he didn’t want you to work that day? How would you feed yourself & your family? How would you pay your bills? Especially with Christmas in the distance….. Rant over!!
