I am new to the site. I do not have a diagnosis of PA however have all of the related symptoms.
I am being treated for Hypothyroidism, fybromyalga, low vit d, low iron, IBS.
My b12 test came back at 240 so was too high to be treated but I did persuade a GP to prescribe a course of b12 which were a 2 months script for Cyanocobalamin 50 mcg. When I tried to get a repeat it wasn’t possible I was told if a thought they helped I can always buy them myself. I have since been taking sublingual b12 1000ug with some relief. I am considering buying b12 injections, I would be very grateful if anyone could send me the link for the German company that many of you have mentioned where I could purchase Hydroxocobalamin injections.
Many thanks for your help

Thank you so much for this info, I am having so much trouble working things out, getting so muddled with things, I will give this to my daughter to do. Thank you again for your help!!
When I start typing into the search box it comes up with suggstions - so I select 'hydroxocobalamin acetat' from the 'Substances' drop-down. Then I get the above page.
If I type the name in full, it can't find anything.
I buy syringes , needles ,swabs and yellow sharps box ( for safe disposal of used needles ) from medisave.co.uk I buy —-
I use Terumo Agani needles .
100 — 21G x 1 1/2 inch needles (for withdrawing the B12 from the ampoule ) The needle becomes blunt whilst withdrawing the B12 , touching the sides and bottom of the ampoule .( ouch!)
100 —- 25G x 1 inch needle for injecting Intra Muscularly ( I.M. ) I inject into my thigh — into the middle outside third , where the muscle is nearest to the surface. Swapping legs each time I inject . I do not inject sub-cutaneously ( sub- cut ) If you want to do this, I only know that the needle is shorter , and most people using this method inject into the layer of tummy fat . (So ask again if this what you want to do. )
100 x 1ml insulin syringes. ( I use a 1ml x 1mg ampoule Rotexmedica B12 Depot Hydroxocobalamin B12 ) if you use Hevert. 1mg x 2ml ampoules , you will need 100 x2ml syringe .
You need a box of medisave swabs and I large yellow sharps box for safe storage of used needles , to be taken to a chemist shop when full for safe disposal
I've used Amazon.de - the German Amazon site. It looks exactly like the UK one, and you can log in using your UK details. Sadly, Prime doesn't work overseas, but as everyone says, buy in bulk and the postage works out much cheaper. Amazon are also very reliable, just like versandpo
