Getting into that B12 ‘ampoule'!

[sirlam]

I wonder if other people struggle to break the tip off? Finally noticed there’s a little dot. If you break it away from the little dot, it breaks easily!!

Yes they are difficult to get into.!Wher do you buy yours from sirlam?

I know there are a few places but yours sound like the hydrox that I have 3mnthly at the surgery.

[sirlam in reply to Chocolate41]

From mycare.de. First time for me - very straight forward to purchase online.

[Chocolate41 in reply to sirlam]

Hi again.do you think you could let me have there full address.Have googled it but nothing has come up!

May be me of course.Thanks in advance.

[sirlam in reply to Chocolate41]

Hi - mycare.de should take you straight there! Then search for cobalamin. I went for hydroxocobalamin as this is what the GP prescribed! Easy to pay with PayPal. This is the advice I found on this site and so far so good!!!

Thanks sirlam will give it a go 

[Catsgalour in reply to sirlam]

I used them to .. .Postage a bit dear but must be the right stuff because it stings! How often are you injecting ..?

[sirlam in reply to Catsgalour]

I am injecting every other day until I feel as good as I can!! My hands are less tingly which makes sewing, writing and knitting a lot easier  Now hoping that I shall get sensation back from my bladder… !

Waiting to start loading dose injections at gp surgery... How bad does it sting? :-|

If you look closely you will see a little score just under the dot - where the glass is a bit weaker so it will break at that point.

[sirlam]

Thank you - that explains it!!

I think my first attempt to get in was a bit of a disaster - too much brain fog and I'd forgotten about the dot and actually cut myself on the glass - so very easy to do - strange that they don't mention it in the leaflet - though i suppose it isn't a legal requirement like all the blurb about side effects

I bought some of these - sepha.com/en/products/view/... - for scoring and breaking ampoules.
