I have PA since 16 years & have now developed an allergy to B12 jabs!Not nice & quite scary, anyone experienced anything similar, any advice
I can't tolerate the jabs I had two of the 6 starting jabs but after 24-36 hours after I was ill I felt I was drifting off then bam my heart would jump and race.. I was so dizzy and found it hard to walk straight and as for knowing who I was or what I was doing seriously thought I'd lost it a week later dr said to try tablets just a low dose well less than 12 hours my belly well.......and painful tingling in feet and intense itching so stopped..I tested negative to PA although test was done 2 days after jabs but just today found out I have coeliac which explains low B12.. I know what you mean by scary though I sat awake in bed frightened to go to sleep
Hi Vanilla
Manufacturers state that often people who show intolerence to injections can take the oral route often without problems.
To ascertain if this may be possible in your case, I would suggest you talk to your G.P. about TTG - Intrinsic Factor and Parietal cell antibody tests, if these are Negative, you may well be able to take the B12 in Tablet form and there are a number of options open to you.
Good Luck
