B12

[Annab124]

I am due for a b12 injection Wednesday and the last 2 weeks or so I’ve been exhausted . The last 4 days especially . I don’t feel refreshed after sleep and all I want to do is sleep all day (I can’t cause my job) . I also feel lightheaded and out of it almost. Does anyone get this when due for b12 jab ? C

Sounds like you need them more frequently

[wedgewood]

You need your injections more frequently . Many of us have experienced this . Many doctors will not give them more frequently because they don’t have good knowledge of PA and think if your B12 is high you don’t need them more frequently . ! If you can’t get more regular injections, you can self inject easily and cheaply . As B12 ampoules are prescription only n the U.K. , , we get our supplies from German online pharmacies, where they are an OTC ( over the counter ) item . You can inject either IM or sub cut ( short needle ) Cost? about £1,50 for an injection. information for this is obtainable here !

Follow Wedgwood’s advice. I did, took the plunge (sorry for pun, not intentional) and self-inject now, every other day at the moment. Feel much better for it, not just physically b ut I n control of own life again.

All the time, until I persuaded my GP to increase the frequency of my injections. You can use a sublingual (under the tongue) spray to top your levels up. I used to use this in the last few weeks before my next injection. It can really help. I’ve also been told that there are patches you can buy, that will help in the same way.

Until I get more information, I don’t know where you buy these.

The sublingual sprays are available online or in Healthfood Shops.

Hi Annab224

If I’m honest sometimes I get weak before my next injection but only sometimes, how long have you been on the injections? I have been on mine for o we 2 years now and I do suffer occasionally, as for the lightheadedness yes I do get this with a little dizziness and also like a trickling feeling in my head aswell, hope this helps
