GP knows the guidelines!

Bad news is that my sister in law has just been diagnosed with B12 deficiency. Good news is that she has been told that she needs to have injections every other day until she feels like it's better.

They read the guidelines! Hooray!

Reminds me of when I was diagnosed with P.A. and "given two years to live" unless I had the B12 injections.

That was 46 years ago

I wish both you and your sister well.

Hi,

Glad to hear that she is getting every other day injections.

How often will she be having injections once " she feels it's better"?

Has she been tested for PA?

the BCSH guidelines actually say until symptoms stop improving
