He is testing me for B12 deficiency. According to him, shots are the only thing that will work for B12 def.

It depends on why you're deficient. B-12 must be absorbed all along the intestinal wall, and the absorption becomes less efficient as we age. It often happens to people who've had some of their small intestine removed, or who have Celiac disease (causing damage/inflammation to the intestinal wall) AND you must get it from animal protein. Which may be why she's deficient, if she really is.

A source told Closer magazine: "Seven hours was a long time to go without eating...

This is an idiotic source. Seven whole hours, without eating!!!??? Like, ohmygosh!

I doubt that she has pernicious anemia

She could, if she's going vegan/vegetarian. That'd be self-caused of course. Part of the reason vegans/vegetarians are so unhealthy without supplements.

The window to a woman’s age is always her hands.

I dunno. See my post above about yard work. :-) In general I suppose you're right.

My first impression is “surely that’s Photoshopped”.

But then I remember a young lady from the laboratory next to mine.

She was probably only 20 years old, attractive, fair-complexioned
red-head...with the hands of a 60 year old woman. It was sort of
freaky.

They cannot deny medical equipment from flights.

Depends on what it is. Syringes - probably ok. Scalpels and bone chisels - not ok.

I am doubting that I really am deficient. Red blood cell count is too high. Got any good links?

“I’d hit it! Freakie women were always my favorites.”

I’d like to hit Madonna with a brick. Freaky’s all well and good, but she’s a rapidly aging STD factory.

Yeah typically your RBC will be low with larger RBC’s.

I doubt that -- but perhaps you know something I don't.

Can you back up your statement -- otherwise it just slander?
