B12 injections - GP approved self injection at last

Once the lockdown was in place my GP notified me that I would no longer be able to get my injection and that they were prescribing tablets. I wrote in as this is totally unacceptable and suggested a solution lay in letting me self inject. Very happy when the surgery inviting me in to learn how to self inject and to kit me out with all the needles. At last I feel I have some control back and no more do I have to worry if I am not around every eight weeks (as they won't inject early) that my injection will have to be late.

My nurse came out to me today to give me my B12 in my garden wearing gloves, mask and apron. So please with my surgery as I always start to feel shattered when I get towards the end of my 12 weeks
