Injection reinstated😁

[Vitb]

Just to give hope to others.

My vit b12 injections were stopped recently due to covid19 and deemed non essential.

After a couple of weeks I began having symptoms I had previously before PA diagnosis.

I contacted my surgery today asking for the Practice Manager, I described my symptoms, adding that if I worsen, I would have to go to A&E therefore putting a risk & strain on the NHS which they are trying to avoid. I offered to wear a mask & gloves when I go for the jab, which I pleaded is essential to keeping me in health & alive. Anyway good news is I am booked in now to have it. 🙏🏾

Stay well everyone 🌻

Hi,

Great to read you've got your injection booked.

For anyone else following this thread whose injections have been affected by impact of pandemic..

I left a long reply in this next thread with info on impact of pandemic on B12 treatment.

healthunlocked.com/pasoc/po.....

It includes links to recent PAS news items and blog posts from B12 Deficiency Info which have suggestions on how to cope if injections stopped.

I wrote another very detailed reply on another forum thread with links to symptoms lists, causes of b12 deficiency, info about tests for PA, B12 books, B12 websites, UK B12 documents, letters to GP about B12 deficiency and other B12 info which you might find helpful.

Thanks everyone

Keep on keeping on

These are challenging times

But we shouldn't be afraid to challenge the medics about those with PA & deeming vit b 12 as non essential treatment as it is totally contradictory to GP telling us when initially diagnosed

you will need them for life

- literally.

Stay well
