In my case I felt the benefits probably within 2 weeks to a month of the first 6 but sadly didn't last and now every time a month before my next set are due I feel exhausted again to the point I'm napping in the day and badly sleeping at night. Very frustrating. I've spoken to the GP and it shows there's many of us who require injections more frequently yet it appears to be a fight to get injections sooner than the 12 weeks

everyone is different,i felt the benefits quite quickly a couple of weeks,i used to be every 12 weeks,by the 10th week i started to feel terrible,i went to my doctors who explained that she did not want me to feel this way,so i now have them every 10 weeks.I feel so much better for it,sorry to hear your not getting anywhere with your doctors but you must keep on,its not fair for you to suffer like this.I have been having inections for over 6 years now,hope you get yourself sorted

I know how you feel,it does not take long to kick in everyone is different.I have had a 2 year battle to get my B12 monthly. Keep a diary of how your feeling day by day. Go back to your GP when you start to go down,try &find information on the new guildlines for B12 when you have it show it to your GP.All I can say is go back to your

GP I know this is not much help but its what I did also search the internet,if you send me your email add I will send you what I found.

I'm sure you'll feel better soon.

Kindest regards
