I have suffered from tiredness for years and doctor puts it down to " just me".
I switched to seeing other doctor who to,d me that in fact I have fluctuating thyroid function which has shown up in blood tests over many years. I began taking kelp and this helped considerably.
Recently however I started getting pins and needles in feet and hands,muscle fatigue etc. gone from averaging12,000 steps a day to about 2,000. Very lethargic and very down.
Doctor diagnosed peripheral neuropathy no arranged blood test. He said that as I take esomeprazole for stomach disorder I am not able to absorb B12 from diet.
Anyway he retired before results came back so I had to see original guy.
He said they didn't test for B12 as it was ok a year ago,which was prior to my beginning on stomach medication.
He accepts diagnoses of PN and has referred me to see a neurologist.
I received a call from hospital appoint,ent service and they say it will be a minimum of 14 weeks before I see a neurologist as they only have one doctor at the moment.
So I tried coming off stomach meds to take oral vit B but that didn't work. Severe gut ache.
So is there anyway I can get vitamin B 12 in an injection without going through doc?
