As a newbie to the blogging world, I am a bit apprehensive but excited to be an ‘official blogger’. I will let you know when I actually embrace that title. But, as of right now, I feel like I’m about ready to cliff dive. Once you step off, there is no turning back; and you don’t know whether you are going to slice gracefully into the water or belly flop like there’s no tomorrow.
Either way, through much encouragement and feedback from family and friends, I’m excited to be on this adventure in the online writing world, and anticipating to see what the future holds.
This is my first blog posting for “The B12 Chronicles: Today Is A New Day”. If I could get past obsessing over the best title, you may have had a chance to read this blog much earlier than you are now. If you have any suggestions for a name that might be more relevant, I am all ears. I’m slowly learning; it may not be perfect, it’s a process.
Back in September, I was diagnosed with vitamin B12 deficiency and Pernicious Anemia, a hereditary autoimmune disorder. This is something that has changed my life immensely and I feel compelled to share my story to help other people who struggle with the same things and connect with people who have also experienced the repercussions of this vitamin deficiency.
As a direct result of discovering my B12 deficiency, my mom and brother took it upon themselves to get tested. Happily, my mom has discovered she has the same condition, and I am excited to be on the journey together with her to find healing. My brother however, was told he was not deficient, but through my research and reading, I’m keeping my eye on him as it may just not be as advanced.
To get a better idea of what is motivating me to write this blog,

I’m not claiming to be an expert (yet!) about the subject matter nor am I a doctor or have had medical training. I do however do a lot of reading and research and will only post confirmed factual information and my personal experiences.
Thanks for reading! Enjoy.
