Hi All,

New blog post on B12 Deficiency Info website.

Another reason that nurses need training is that they’re often the ones who try to restrict B12 treatment.

I was told by one nurse that nobody has loading injections more than two weeks. She was about to refuse my next appointment when I told her to look at the second paragraph in the BNF.

Great that you were able to speak up on this issue.

Some nurses (from personal experience) can get quite annoyed at polite offers of useful b12 documents to look at.

I was told that people only have B12 injections every 3 months....but I pointed out that BSH Cobalamin guidelines say every 2 months for those with neuro symptoms.
