Vitamin B12 Deficiency Symptoms
===============================

Vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms, like those of many other treatable
health conditions, can be virtually identical to age dementia
symptoms, senile dementia symptoms and Alzheimers symptoms. As many as
20% of people over age 65 have low Vitamin B12 levels. Correcting the
deficiency can help older people resume a full and normal lives.

Vitamin B12 deficiency symptoms include:

 

Loss of appetite

 

Diarrhea

 

Numbness and tingling of hands and feet

 

Paleness

 

Shortness of breath

 

Fatigue

 

Weakness

 

Sore mouth and tongue

 

Confusion or change in mental status in severe or advanced cases.
This is sometimes confused with dementia. More importantly, even a
moderate deficiency of this important vitamin and its counterpart,
folic acid, may ultimate contribute to the onset of Alzheimers
disease or other related dementias.
