A Happy New Year to you all - and Good Health for 2025
Advice please.
I do not have a diagnosis of B12 Deficiency but I am continuing to SI B12 injections EOD as prescribed by my GP for the past 20 months and have had considerable improvements during this time. However at the end of October 24, I went down with a nasty viral infection after which I had Oral Thrush and then was diagnosed with Covid. This has knocked me sideways and I am still trying to recover from this. I do now feel that when I inject - it is only taking up the slack and not giving me B12 to move forward with.
I m still suffering with a good deal of Parathesia in my feet and legs and get burning patches on my feet and sharp pains in my legs on the inbetween days. As well as still suffering fatigue and brain fog - lack of concentration, and feeling low which has increased since being ill in October 24.
Because of this I am wondering if I should either order some extra B12 Ampules, to give myself possibly every day injections for a while in order to boost my B12 or can you please tell me if anyone has experience of B12 Patches that I could use on the inbetween days and if this might be a successful way of increasing my B12 intake.
I have never ordered B12 privately so would be grateful to have some advice regarding the best and most economic way to do this please as I would not want a vast quantity but something in addition to add to my EOD prescription.
I am supplementing with B Complex which has 400 Folate and an extra Folate 400 as well as Vitamin D 1000 per day .
My Last Folate BT on 12/11/24 was 17.4 (2.1 - 26.8)
Vitamin D 94.5 on 12/11/24
I understand from the Dr Klein - video that in order for B12 to give full effect an optimal Folate of 15/20 is required.
I realise just how lucky I am to be getting the EOD B12 on prescription.
I would be grateful for any advice you can offer please.
Many thanks
