Hi blondie2505 I'm not a medically qualified person but I think it is better to inject into a muscle rather than just under the skin. The other thing is do you know what your Folate level is as this is essential to process the B12.

I hope someone on here will be able to give you good hints and advice and I wish you well.

blonide2505 - Sorry to say I am the same and on #45 SI no better and no worse - dispiriting to say the least - I have read that some symptoms just don't improve. But we do need the B12 to stop it getting worse.

Took me several months to realize the full effect. Look for little "tells" --better nails, absence of aches--then one day I realized I was chasing my grandkids up the stairs, grounded in my body, sure footed. Amazing. Lasted about six months, then plummeted down. Drs decided I didn't really need anymore after the week of loading. After a year of worsening numbness/tingling in hands and feet started si. Stick with it (pun, sorry).
