B12 injections?

[Hisue]

Has anyone w/RA had success with B12 injections for debilitating CFS/ME? (Taking sublingual B12; w/no improvement.)

Hello My daughter has B12 injections for ME and low iron and they have helped her quite a lot She still has ME and POTS but has a fairly normal life but has to pace a lot as her energy is low

Thanks very much. I'll ask my doctor to check my B12 & iron. I'm in the USA- & perplexed by modern medicine, where I have to "lead the way", to the expert doctors here, rather than vice-versa. I'm paying big bucks & the docs don't even do any hands-on examination (unless I put my hands or feet out in front & point🙃; or listen to my heart- everything is bloodwork- & it seems I have to direct that, too. 😵‍💫

Hi, my daughter has ME/chronic fatigue, its 10 years now. She has tried a lot of things. She bought the vit B injections privately as the NHS here wouldn't prescribe anything for ME, She tried it for some months, but it didn't help her at all. We are all so individual, especially where ME is concerned, some things help one person and not another. Good luck

I had what they suspect is CFS, was pretty bad between Feb & March this year. I had stopped the Mtx in November 2024 so not sure if it was that or something else. All blood tests done and they found nothing amiss. I have been taking B12 subliqual, Vit C, D & zinc, Co Q10 and fish oil since it started in Feb. There is a definite improvement, i am functioning fairly well for the past 2 weeks but for the dizziness. However, I cannot say for sure its because of the vitamins. Rheumos and GPs are not big on vitamins - "take them if u wish" attitude. Would suggest testing for B12 and iron levels if u havent done so already. Hope you improve as I know how debilitating it can be.
