Letter in

[Nackapan]

Had my injection at the surgery.

They said to ring the bell. There wasnt one but got in to a fully gowned and masked nurse. I was pleased to see one by one going in for their b12 injections. I left another letter for Gp to hopefully prrscribe the b12 for sc af home as suggested by the pharmacist 'off llicience as can be done. Food shop near . I'd not got food since last Injection 2 weeks ago. The shelves were very bare. Plenty of fresh veg and fruit though. No meat . It struck me after being with the nurse that the cashiers were more frontline to this horrible virus. So will see if Gp agrees this time?? She still seems to thi k I will absorb tablets . I made sure if waz put on mg notes I've tried tablets thd last time between injection didnt. No difference at all . I wish I could absorb them!!

Glad to hear it.

I just ordered from Medisave - as running low on needles myself - and had a thought:

Did your order include antiseptic wipes/swabs ? If so, I would get in touch with them - if it turns out, as I suspect, that this item is the cause of any long delay, they could have that removed from your original order. At least you'd get your needles then. Some people here now believe that pre-injection swabs are not useful anyway.

Noticed that prices remain very reasonable. Shipping costs up a bit but that is to be expected.

For information: the 70% alcohol pre-injection swabs are (unsurprisingly) unavailable to order right now.

The needles and syringes just arrived!!

You are right I did order swabs and they not on the parcel.

I know not completely necessary .

Hurrah...ready to go. Only just had an IM so in plenty of time.

Did take longer than expected. Compared to b12 from Germany.

Thanks

No worries, you are always so helpful to everyone else on here, I also have quite a lot of B12 ampoules, mostly hydroxocobalamin but a few methylcobalamin if you need some please do not hesitate to get in touch
