Slump?

Hi, I am, seemingly, just exiting a slump I had not experienced before to that degree since injecting. I was experiencing many of the symptoms I suffered pre injections but no where near to the degree experienced back then, but nevertheless not pleasant. So why should that happen I asked myself, what was different? My preferred product is PANPHARMA 1mg/1ml Depot (I now have these on order as back in stock), many of you will be aware it has been out of stock for a number of months. I ran out so started using Hevert 1mg/2ml Depot, this seemed just fine. I then started using, for a short time, Pascoe 1.5mg/1ml Depot and it was not long after this that the slump arrived (by the way, I inject EOD). All were well in date, kept at room temperature and in the dark. I also take cofactors and so I began experimenting by taking the B complex (for B6 at 10mg). Has anyone had the same experience due maybe to swapping about with injection products? Would B6 give problems taking every day? Is it still doing its job (B6) taking it EOD? Or is the very complex body reacting in some unexplainable way that we just accept cannot be answered and get on with it? I don’t have allergies, nor let my imagination run riot. Any thoughts welcome. Thanks. 🙂🙏

I'm having a serious slump too. I use panpharma and have been jabbing once a week for years and have been fine. But since before Christmas, I've been gradually sliding backwards. I've now upped my jabs to twice weekly and have started to feel better. I look after my Granddaughters and they are the gift that keeps on giving virus wise. I've had back to back bugs since Christmas, and I'm pretty sure that is why I'm needing more jabs.

Sometimes we can do everything right, but our bodies still rebel and complain about things, be that different B12 or just the ups and downs of life. Its a case of trial and error to find out what is going on, which can be rather annoying.

My daughter has just rung me to say that the baby has spiked a fever, and as I was looking after her in the week, I can guess what is going to happen 😷

Hoping you can dodge something your baby granddaughter may have.Her resistance will be very low compared to an older child.

Everywhere I go someone seems to be coughing .😷

Are you giving the B6 a break for a while and taking a B complex without. Too much B6 can cause symptoms. 10 mg is not too much but taking it all year round might be

Hi Sea-blue, thanks for responding. I take it in a B complex and taking that tablet EOD. I thought that might be the case. Just started so I’m seeing how things pan out. 🙂🙏

Could be that the B12 got cooked a little in transit? Potentially as there's a little more hydroxo in there, could these be a little bit of reversal symptoms as your body gets using the additional 500mcg? Not an expert but those are some of the things I've read or thought about when switching. I went from Accord 1000 to Pascoe 1500 and didn't notice too much of a difference but about that time my reversal symptoms did increase a bit, I'm earlier in the journey though!

I use PASCO 1.5mg in 1 ml vials. I changed to them when the shortages of Panpharma began and have now gone back to them as I find they suit me better than any other. I inject them ever third day as that is the closest match to EOD and this cuts down the cost and saves time.

I take one 5mg tablet of folic acid daily and may reduce this to one EOD shortly. Nice say -doses up to 15 mg per day may be required in malabsorption states.

Hi, how are you doing? I think I have the same problem with Pascoe. It is not the bad batch as I tried two different ones from different pharmacies. Do you think it is the brand?

Not what you're looking for?
