Sorry to hear this, William. You clearly need more medical help than you are currently getting.

Are you a member of the Pernicious Anaemia Society ?

If so, I'd give them a call - they may be able to help change your doctor's mind about frequency of B12 treatment. When you are really ill, it is hard work trying to fight this alone.

Have you got a PA diagnosis ?

If you can ,write a letter to your Gp.

Ask for b12 I jections every 8 weeks .

Say your symptoms returned after last in jection.

If you've got any take b12 tablets incase you can absorb some.

Refusea b12 blood test but get other things checked if I was you.

Iron

Vit d

Folate(sometimes the labs only do it with b12 though. )just say to phlebotomist on b12 inje tions . They add it to form.

Thyroid.

Fbc

A health MOT.

Hope you get your top teeth soon.

Liquidize food into soups meanwhile to get your nutrients .

I just uses a cheap hand whizzer. As dont have a liquidize.

Mince is the easiest meat to do .

Hope you get some help from PAS.

Hand in your letter at next injection?

Only way I can action anything with my surgery.

You often have to ring to follow up as letter scanned on your notes but sometimes Gp not read it!!

Just be brief.

Hope you pick up very soon

If you have P.A. , eating meat will not help you . You could try taking sub-lingual B12 lozenges, to tide you over . MUST be the sub-lingual or try the nose-spray . They might help . ( Amazon have them, or your local health shop )
