It does not feel like the pain that you get from over doing it so I was hoping to figure out if I could include something in my diet that would help. I also know that most likely I have a vitamin B12 deficiency. I…

I am tired of waiting for my family to agree to change out lifestyle. That is why I joined mfp yesterday. My husband and son are the worst because when I start changing the way we eat and things that are brought into the house they are the first to start gripping. I also have a sister that lives with us.
