After couple if months injection I feel my body is more tolerable to injection and I feel no burning feet and severe dizziness like before. But I have panic attack and anxiety attack which make my situation intolerable. My question is in SC injection can I inject every other day ? Because I think in upper stomach part SC absorption is faster. In NICE guideline which type of injection is considered for every other day injection. Because of anxiety attack I need every other day injection and I don't know how to jab IM yet until I learn so till that time I need to increase frequency of injection . Can I inject every other day through SC?

There are other places than the stomach that you can use for sub-cutaneous injections . You can get a diagram on the internet . You don’t want to inject in the same place too often . Keep an account of where you inject . In the U.K. B12 is only injected by Intra -muscular injection at the surgeries. But I read on this forum that many people use S.C. Also on the packets of B12 depot that we get from Germany , it is clearly printed that I.M , S.C. and Intra venous methods are suitable. ( Intra-venous only to be administered by a medical professional . )

Injecting sub-cut every other day should not be a problem , as long as you take care not to inject at the same spot repeatedly .

. I’ll send you some info on how to inject I.M

My husband does 4 sc injections a day of insulin.

It is safe to do sc b12 every other day

Thighs . Hips. Arms stomach 2" away from yiur belly button.

Anywhere with a fat layer

As Wedgewood said rotate where yiu inject.

I have sc and IM injections

I M are donr by the nurses.

Keep hoping an IM one will last longer.

Be better in some way

Still waiting .

Go to be 'visible ' too.

And get tge nurses yo record ongoing symptoms
