Methyl or Hydro B12 injections - is it safe to switch between both each month?
Is it safe to switch between different types of B12 injections? For example, one month I take the hydroxocobalamin injection and the next month i take the methylcobalamin injection? I feel better with methylcobalamin , but I’m only prescribed the hydroxocobalamin but I’m thinking to take methylcobalamin

How long will this last for?
Long story short, I’ve been feeling very tired for months (even years) to the point that I needed to take a nap in the afternoon on some days as my brain wouldn’t allow me keep going. I also started noticing trembling, tingling, pins and needles and headaches/migraines. I reached the point that I was

hi again all! I am very depleted in ferritin and am awaiting an infusion. I also started b12 injections 3 months ago for PA but I don’t think they’ve been often enough (1x/month). Also just got diagnosed with subclinical hashimotos (thyroid levels are still normal). I’m grasping at straws trying to

TPO high, GP not helpful, and I’m looking for advice
Hello, Sorry if this is a bit long. I have been struggling with symptoms of hypothyroidism for about 5 - 6 years. I also have a long family history of hypothyroidism and all of my female relatives battled their way to a diagnosis, and I seem to be following suit. Just before covid struck, my then

GP must have B12 deficiency too.
So here's the thing there must be GPs or medical professionals who are B12 deficient so it begs the question. How do they feel about how they are treated? How often do they have injections? Do they come up against the same issues we do in the general population? It would be amazingly useful for

how quickly did you regress after B12 loading?
I finished my initial B12 loading almost exactly one month ago and initially felt enormously better. However, during the last week I have started to feel like I did before; irritable, weepy, fatigued, constipated and so on. I really can’t believe I need monthly injections so am thinking I am imagining

Does anyone else experience this? pain of the deltoid and trapezius muscles, possibly due to IM b12 both by PCP (monthly) and SI (EOD)
hi there I’m trying to figure out if the IM b12 injections are starting to cause this pain I feel on both sides of my body … areas as specified above. I also SI in my leg muscle. I have a system to work around the four areas of my body. I have autoimmune PA so I need to figure this out. Maybe I

Benfotiamine B1 5 Day Trial
I decided to do a trial of Berfotiamine after reading randomized trials for peripheral neuropathy in diabetics. Yes there is work with efficacy done, just not with B12 deficiency. 1mg EOD is good enough treatment and the maximum ever needed. I no longer experience peripheral neuropathy due to my supplementation

More B12 when ill ?
Hi everyone. Strange question. I’m injecting weekly. But just caught the kids flu. Is the advice to inject more frequently when unwell ?

Viramin B12 deficiency
I am Jak 2 ET and taking 1000mg hydroxycarbamide daily and 75mg aspirin. I saw my consultant today and he said my vitamin B12 levels were extremely low so I have to have B12 injections every other day for two weeks then one a week for four weeks. I'll be doing another blood test then to see if it's

Inspired by a post by Wwwdot "One Year Later" I decided to walk the same 5K route that I had walked 6 months ago. I 'knew' my self treatment was successful. I wanted a definitive marker and was willing to face that there was no improvement in my ability to walk the same 5K. A small leap of faith.

Another cause of Pernicious Anaemia?
We know that certain gastric operations cause Pernicious Anaemia and therefore lifelong b12 injections are required . But what I’ve never seen mentioned is the possibility of radiotherapy cancer treatment in the region of the stomach that contains the parietal cells , causing Pernicious Anaemia . Surely

B12 - shots v pills
Hi Please could someone confirm the benefits of a B12 injection v taking a supplement? Are we just talking about larger doses and / or ability to avoid the stomach and increase absorption? Is availability of B12 injection really restricted on the NHS? If I decide to go down the chemist route, do

The needle My husband injects me with b12 is 23G x 1 1/4” Is this the right size as painful injecting plus when the liquid goes in.
