HiI have just come across this site. Is it free?!! I have had a biopsy of a red rash across my abdomen and arms and I have been told that I have morphea. I have ITP (variable platelet count of between 20 and 80 so no need for regular treatment) and had a B12 deficiency when I was vegan a few years ago but I am now vegetarian again and havent had my B12 checked for years. Could any of these things be connected? I would be grateful for any advice. thanks O.V.
Hi, Thanks for asking. Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.1. Vegetarians commonly have It B12 deficiency, but not necessary always. It B12 in vegetarians is usually produced in gut by bacteria. 2. Also, green leafy vegetables are rich in It B12.3. No, all of them are not connected. ITP is secondary to viral infection and usually affects only platelets. It does not affect It B12, neither does morphed.4. Additionally, during deficiency, you can take It B12 supplements or injections, which will rapidly improve it. Pernicious anemia will require evaluation, if it B12 does not get corrected after taking oral It B12 for a long time. Hope it helps. Any further queries, happy to help again.
