B12 injections for pernicious anemia, only every 3 months

[Cooperbaby123]

Can I take my b12 injection under my tongue as drops if I feel I need it as I only get it once every 3 months which I don't think is enough

Lots of ways of supplementing and not going to be an issue - B12 isn't toxic so you can't overdose on it, unlike many other minerals and vitamins.

Supplementation options include: sublingual sprays and tablets, nasal sprays, skin patches and high dose oral.

I'm not sure the liquid from a B12 injection taken orally would work.

If you want oral supplements it would be best to try sublinguals.

I also used skin patches which did help.

Hi, so what does skin patches do? And also where can u get them, never herd of them

[Cooperbaby123]

I bought patches on Amzon. I found the fairly large square ones more effective than small round ones.

I feel like you, I feel the 3 monthly B12 injection is doing nothing to help me, but my Dr's never listen to me I'm so fed-up with being fatigued exhausted and falling asleep anywhere but I feel like I'm totally alone, my family and partner don't even try to understand pernicious Anemia
