Best appointment so far

[dippyduck]

I’ve just had a fantastic appointment with the cardiologist. She was horrified at some of the things my GP has been saying e.g. B12 is toxic. She asked how I felt about self-injecting and is speaking to the pharmacist to get me a supply so I can take whenever I need it. She is also the lead for students at the medical school so is going to have her students write a paper based on my experiences on the importance of treating based on symptoms and in the case of B12 deficiency, one size does not ‘fit all’. Hopefully these students will remember this when they are set free into the wild

It is a battle for me to get b12 6wkly.l finally decided to self inject and am so much better.

Dippyduck that's great news. And a Cardiologist who knows how to treat B12 deficiency and is going to get her medical students to write a paper about your experience. Oh wow...set them out in B12 Wild West...quick 😉😀.

Hi, After having one GP draw around my feet and tell me that my shoes caused my B12 issue, I'm delighted that there is some out in GP / Medical world that understands B12.

They certainly make it up as they go along. Maybe this GP should be a creative writer
