Hi there,im going to go by my doctor,and would say yes,when i had blood test,and my doctor told me...this is what i have and i would need B12 injections,you have boosters and then you should have them every 3 months,but im every 10 weeks,which again between me and my doctor decided 10 weeks was right for me,as i was starting to feel very tired,and every 3 months was too long.What has your doctor said?

Hello,thank you for the reply.I had injections when they first found out about the deficiency,then every 8 weeks,6 weeks and now every 4 weeks,because of my severe symptoms. Migraines,foggy headaches,mouth ulcers,so very tired.Pins and needles down left side.Insomnia .

i know what you mean,i do get very tired and my legs start to hurt,which is about now as im due for an inection next week,hopefully you will get there in the end,but do tell your doctor if you start to feel bad just before your jabs

Hi,now i am on injections every 4 weeks i will see how i go,up to yet i have not suffered migraines,since my injections. My neurologist said migraines could not be due to b12 deficiency,we shall see. Everyone is different .I wish you well.It is such a shame that some doctors do not listen to their patients. I have had terrible trouble and now seen a different doctor within the practice ,who knows more on the subject. Best wishes to you.x
