Here in the U.K. , loading injections , 6 of them of 1mg strength , are given over 2 weeks . Then one only gets one every 3 months . Hydroxocobalamin is the preferred B12 over here . It is difficult to get more regular than that . This causes great stress. and ill-Health to people who need more . That’s why this society has been so fantastically helpful to folk like me .

Since you wrote you took all 10 ml in one go on your first self injection,, loading doses may be not needed.

Set up a regular schedule for yourself and stick to it. There are delayed symptoms because the gut is nvolved.

Things can get very confusing otherwise.

Gut absorption too? Thank you.

Replacing B12 will lead to a huge increase in the production of blood cells and platelets (which occurs in the bone marrow) and can lead to rapid depletion of folate and iron stores; this can then limit the expected recovery of Hb.

Both iron and folate may be needed.
