Just a quick question

5 Replies

I have my B12 jabs every 12 weeks and my doc says my blood results are ok and generally I'm doing ok, but I still get one or two days a weeks randomly when I get tired easily just doing everyday things. Doc has ruled out other problems. Anything I can do about this or is just a part of having PA?

A friend suggested a daily folic acid tablet might help with the energy, anyone know if this would help?

thanks

I'm the same I get days where I'm knackered I take folic acid tablets and don't find it makes any difference to be honest

Thanks for replying, Doc says its part of having PA. Tried b12 sublingual drops but they didn't do anything... might give the folic acid a try, at a loss as what to try next now.

I use better you b12 spray and that works for me . My prescription folic acid ran out a week ago but take berocca everyday as that has some folic acid and some other vitamins in . Also planning on taking a folic acid supermarket cheap ones once I have 3 monthly jab for about a week to hopefully keep levels up.

thanks, I use a a b12 spray too, not sure how much it helps though. Going to try and eat more foods with folic in them, see if that helps.

Have definitely been eating more greens , well more than none was always going to be easy, also eat some nuts and raisins, at least one banana a day and yogurt not sure if actually helps with symptoms but I guess my diet is a lot better and definitely think it does stop me getting so many rubbish days but I'm not one of experts just waiting for first 3 monthly after loading but seem to be getting to it without a big crash .
