B12 injections

Hi all,

Sorry I never got back on here following the tests I had done a while back, Ive had other problems happen

My tests all came back in range MMA IFA and Active B12 So the GP I had at the time said no to injections

I have now got a new GP who is an absolute diamond, He knows a thing or 2 about genetics, I thought would ask him for B12 injections stating in the past in medical records I had Oval Macrocytis and felt like I was deficient in B12 and would like a trial as I had been taking high dose methyl B12 tablets 5000 and that I had felt a slight improvement but felt that a trial would be good to see if it was my problem,,

He agreed I could have them Hoorah ! I am to get 1 every two weeks for life if I feel better on them or more if needed :) so hit gold with this GP

I had my 1st injection last week and wow I was warm for the 1st time in years I got colour back in my cheeks I felt like I was glowing I have also been giving myself the loading injections as I didn't want to push GP as am quite happy I am getting them and every 2 weeks is better than i have seen most get so as a friend had given me needles and box of german B!2 hydro I took the plunge and its not bad to do yourself.

does everyone feel this good after a shot even if they say bloods are good or does it sound like I have been deficient?

I have been told after having these injections I am much more relaxed about things not so stressed and look healthier than I have for a while... Just wondered if i'm not deficient as bloods have pointed to , or are all these blood tests severely flawed ?

Problem is wore off after a day or 2 but with every injection I feel good again, I never got this on tablets ever, I feel much warmer and happier on them my lower back pain has eased up my top of spine feels a bit better ..

I have now ran out of needles and only have 3 ampules left and would like to buy some for in between till I can get Dr letting me have more which I think he will be open to after Ive trialed it longer

I think he's being really good as many would not give any injections as Bloods were all in range..

So if not allowed to post on here could anyone PM me where I can by B12 and the syringes from and how long they take to arrive after ordering..

I would like to say Thank you to those who helped me very much a while back on all it helped me not give up on trying for Injections and I many of you helped me in understanding quite a bit about B12 You are all amazing in helping everyone So tThank you to everyone of you that helped me xx

This Gp also checked my cortisol levels and they are borderline Addisons so guess my antibodies are attacking that for now :( blood result was 140 low the very bottom of the range so got to have that retested and sent to an Endo if next one comes back as low , but the B12 injections seem to be helping me on the low cortisol and seem to have a bit more energy ..

Amazing what a little shot of B12 can do :) its much better than any pain relief I have ever been given ..

Thank You X

You can buy VitaminB12 Hydroxocobalamin ( that’s the type of B12 we use in U.K.) from German online Pharmacies . The sites are in German , so it’s a good idea to get a translation app . Try bodfeld-Apotheke.de. Or vesandapo.de . Search for Rotexmedica b12 Depot

Failing that you can get amazon.de in English ( that’s German Amazon ) Several Pharmacies on there supply B12 ampoules . But only a few will ship to UK Look down the right hand side for a list of suppliers . I know that Cura Vendi , biber express , Aponeo do send to U.K. . You just have to trawl through suppliers until you find a pharmacy that delivers to UK .

Needles ,syringes , yellow sharps bins and swabs obtainable in U.K. from medisave.co.uk

counterapo on amazon.de probably ship to the UK as well. Yesterday, I received rotexmedica hydroxo-b12 10x1mL from them, shipped to Canada within a week of ordering. An easy way to check shipping on amazon.de for a particular item is to add every single seller to the cart. Then the cart page will show a big red error for all the vendors who won't ship to wherever you are. After manually deleting those from the cart, you're left with those who are willing to ship.

If you want to get from uk, you can purchase from doctor here. Normally dispatched first class same day in my experience.

Probably more expensive than German option but you can consult with the doctor at no extra cost if you need.

Don’t bother with skinbrighton, sadly it’s a rip off! The German pharmacies are a fraction of the cost.

Been great for me and I still use mainly as I can talk to the doctor and have done frequently and cheaper for me than getting the injections. Maybe better to get off the German sites tho cost wise.

Hi, I feel the same way as you do with the injection, happy, content, great feeling, no side effects just a Hugh boost, I see not everyone has the same feelings about using b12. Honestly it's a god send for me. I sincerely hope you guys get something to help you. All the best guys. Take care.
