Thanks sleepybunny . I wonder how long it will take for the medical profession to be educated properly in the treatment of PA / B12 deficiency ? It actually costs the NHS millions not to treat patients properly . I’m lucky to have found out about injections which I need weekly not 3monthly . Think of those unfortunates who don’t know , and suffer horribly . I am now certain that that was how my mother reached her death . It took a very long time , and was horrible to witness .

thank you for the link.

i found the last article on the circulation of b12 very informative.

i have tried three times during the last year to reduce injections (Cyano due being in US) from weekly to monthly an each time feel like crap after 14 to 21 days. And each time ot takes 4-5 weeks of injections to regain improvment.

i wish it wasnt so but it is.

i wish there werent so many doctors saying you dont need that much (weekly injections). you now just have expensive pee. those statements do make one feel like a hypochondriac. it so stupid. they wouldnt say that to a diabetic that needed more insulin than another diabetic. so frustrating.
