Hi think I must be getting the right treatment as the only problem I have is getting tired think this more to do with age. How are you

I'm okay thank you; in fact the best I've been for years but now having to cope with the start of menopausal symptoms.

"think I must be getting the right treatment "

How often do you get your B12 injections and how many loading doses did you get at start of treatment?

1) UK recommended treatment for B12 deficiency without neuro symptoms is ...

6 B12 loading jabs over 2 weeks followed by a jab every 2 or 3 months

2) UK recommended treatment for B12 deficiency WITH neuro symptoms is ...

A B12 loading jab every other day for as long as symptoms continue to get better then a jab every 2 months

If you had neurological symptoms when treatment started or they have developed since , my understanding (I'm not medically trained)is that you should be on the second treatment pattern.
