How to inject Hevert ampoules
I ordered the Hevert B12.A few responses were from people who had used these ampoules. These ampoules contain a lot more liquid than Panpharma ones. Can you tell me how to use them please. Do I inject in two goes or is it safe to inject the full amount at once. I am now doing sub cut but will go back

Hypothesis VIIIl
That B12 is a progressive condition with an unknowable age of onset and intermittent to varying degrees. That all symptoms can be caused by B12 deficiency in the cells including hematological symptoms and digestive issues. Symptoms are only measurable at an untreated advanced stage. A few competent

B6 and tingling in toes
My brother has been experiencing tingling in his toes. A retired doctor who my brother sees socially told him to have B12 tested, and also B6. I briefly googled B6 and saw reports in general websites that both high and low levels of B6 can cause tingling in toes. My brother told me that his B6 tested

New smaller needle issue
Following recommendations on here. I used 31G 6 mm Needle for subcutaneous, I've previously been using 1inch needles for I M injections. I have just used the new 31G needle and have a lump on my thigh under my skin is this normal? Has the B12 gone in? What have I done wrong??

Loading doses of B12
I will try and keep this as short as possible. 21 years ago GP diagnosed PA and up until 3 years ago I had B12 injections every 12 weeks. 3 years ago the CCG instructed GP's to cut down giving injections to anyone unless they had PA. My jobsworth GP decided to give me a blood test, which was in

b12 testing
My worry is this. I had low b12 2 years ago (aug 2022) , it came back in the 200s, can’t quite remember. I had loading doses and it came back in 900s. The doctors left it at that. Then in September of this year (2 months ago) it came back at 390 (180-900). Ive been feeling worse and worse ever since

Advice please - B12 auditory/optical neuropathy
Does anyone have any experience of sight and hearing loss with B12. My daughter (27) suffered with low B12 and was nearly reduced to being wheelchair. There is a family history of PA etc. The severity of her symptoms means that she has has been injecting every day and has regained 95% of her mobility

Breakthrough?
Only 15 days in to the successful regiment of 2 mg every 5 hours including setting an alarm and injecting at night. So three times in the last 15 days I essentially skipped a dose. The breakthrough is I was able to observe that there was a 10 to 15 hour delay in the effects of that missed dose. Or

Pins and Needles
I made an error in not being aware that I was reading pins and needles and equating that with the agony and debilitating pain I used to experience. Not the same experience. Part of this error is the treatment protocols are the same no matter the pain and agony level so to physicians the severity is

Injecting three forms of B12 at the same time?
Has anyone tried injecting three forms of B12 at the same time? I am designing a new trial and am considering staying with my amount of 2mg mg 5 hours apart including setting an alarm to inject in the night so my body is never without enough B12 for my cells to heal and injecting the three forms.

Latest 14 day trial.
Not a trial of volume rather a trial of constant frequency. A trial to explore a hypothesis. Not seeing if I can stumble on something ‘that works’. I consider injecting the same amount less frequently as under supplementation. Note: frequently is not meaningful unless there is a number. Twice a month

Over-treatment
Hi,I've been treated for hypothyroidism for about 8 years and for most of that time, taken 150mg of levothyroxine.

Just diagnosed with Vitamin B12 and folic deficiency
I was told I have
Vitamin
B12
and folic
deficiency
. I was told I would be contacted to have an injection and folic tablets. Of course this has left me worried.

Active B12 test V PA
Would an Active B12 result in range, rule out PA ? My thinking is it should..... but I'm new and I'm not 100% sure of the processes..... Grateful for any links

Restless legs and iron anaemia
Pronounced iron anaemia, but no possibility of iron infusion in Denmark. So I'm now taking iron tablets, but I'm not sure how much iron I should take? My doctor knows less about restless legs, about augmentation and how much iron in iron anaemia than I do!Will it be enough to take Amino Iron Ferrocel
