I have read a number of posts on here and looked on line at a number of links regarding where/what to purchase but now I am as confused as ever! I need 1mg of hydroxo...............where do I get these from - best buy I am asking for here. I can manage to find sharp bins and swabs easily enough but what type and size needle (IM) and where from ? I know it will have all been said before but I would really appreciate responses as you will be more experienced than me and i ant it to go smoothly :) Currently have 8 weekly injections but start to flag after 4. GP wont entertain an increase. I want to see if it makes difference before I tackle him again. Many thanks

Here's a copy of the answer I gave just two weeks ago....

I get my B12 from amazon.de - amazon.de/dp/B009M3TRQ4... - the site is very similar to amazon.uk, so if you're familiar with that navigation is fairly easy. Otherwise you can amazon.de open in one window and google translate in the other.

I get my syringes, needles and wipes from amazon.uk:

Green needles to draw the solution up into the syringe - amazon.co.uk/gp/product...

Blue needles for the actual injection - amazon.co.uk/gp/product...

2ml syringes - amazon.co.uk/gp/product...

Sterile wipes - amazon.co.uk/gp/product...

I find the ampoules aren't scored (or aren't well scored) so I use these to open them - sepha.com/en/products/v...

I use the same sites as finder but I couldnot follow the amazon.de site in Germany. So I emailed them asked them to email me back in English which they did. It all went smoothly and have just received my 2nd ordered. I inject weekly and feel great x
