Hi,

I order my methylcobalamin self injection kits from a doctors clinic in Brighton.

Worth giving them a ring as the doctor will be able to give you advice on self injection, strengths etc.

Hope this helps and good luck

Hi Ari3, for me it’s made a huge difference. For me it was mainly complete lack of energy, fatigue etc. I did 6 one week apart and now do once a month. I was a bit hesitant about self injection and spoke to the doctor quite a lot for reassurance lol. Now find it really straight forward. Started to feel much better after about 3rd injection I think.

Very best of luck

Thanks for your reply much appreciated.Did bloods also showed u r very low or u can’t absorb? Was it painful at first and was u scared ? I have now ordered mine and waiting for delivery from the same company as yours . U mentioned u was talking to a doctor means from the website u gave me ? What did she say? Yes I spoke to her also and she said for first 3-6 weeks one injection 1000 units a week and than maintaining dose one a month or so. Iam so so scared now how it will be .
