Another quick question PA Folks - just making sure I understand things..

Q: If i have B12 SI shots - do they invalidate a future... active... B12 blood test?

I think...? it will bump up my b12 at the serum level. But how do the self injections impact active B12..?

With thanks as ever 🌺🌼🌻

B12 shots will definetely raise your active B12 if you are deficient. Testing serum or active B12 after treatment starts is useless as the results will have no correlation to the effectiveness of treatment.

Thanks Technoid. It was sort of a daft question. But i wanted to have things clear in my mind.

Kind Regards K.
