Free shipping of B12 with prescription

I just ordered B12 from versandapo and got the confirmation through, when translated found this, that if I submit a prescription I'd save the 9euro postage. Has anyone been successful in doing this?

My prescription has to go to a UK pharmacy. So what prescription do you send ? And why if csn use it in UK?

Just not quite understanding

Thanks

While we were within the EU, German pharmacies would usually accept UK prescriptions - NHS or private. But they would be treated as private prescriptions and you'd have to pay the pharmacy's price and delivery charges. (Though, obviously, you'd not have to pay the prescription charges applicable in England.)

I think that is within Germany only - with a German prescription and a German address.

You see the same/similar across lots of German online pharmacies.

Not intended to mislead, I'm sure, just that it doesn't have the "Only within Germany" qualifier visible - it will say that somewhere.

Oh well, when I order more in a year, I would like to try sending a prescription. My GP wouldn't write a prescription as they don't believe the injections are doing anything. Yet my Grandmother had PA my mother and father had PA and I had the same symptoms as all of them, with low B12 serum. I was always seeing the GP with symptoms, yet now don't at all. I have to inject every third day or the symptoms come back.

Yet again a GP demonstrating a woeful lack of knowledge. Even if your GP thinks the B12 injections are a placebo effect surely he can see that they are benefiting him as you don't visit so often.

I can't believe most GP's logic. They are happy to hand out expensive anti depressants that they know don't work for more than half of all patients (one article I read said they are only effective in 15% of cases).

GP's may have high IQ but they seem to lack all common sense.

Definitely not a placebo, my posting history on here does say my blood serum level of B12 was at 176 after taking high doses of B12 and only went higher after massive doses of sublingual B12 and then injections every other day for many months finally brought the symptoms under control.

That is why I don't understand that your GP is saying that the B12 injections do nothing. What does he/she think cured your symptoms? What, in their opinion, caused your B12 levels go up? The fairies?

There is such a turnover of part time doctors at my doctor's surgery that I've rarely seen the same one more than twice, and not seen any for a few months. I doubt if anyone asked any of them that they would now know I SI.
