8 Day Trial.
Current trial 1 mg hydroxocobalamin, 1.5 mg of adenosylcobalamin, 1.5 mg of methylcobalamin. Day one. No other supplements other than 50 mg of B6 twice a day in the form or P-5-P as symptoms do not indicate a need for any other supplements. Without supplementing B6 I experience peripheral neuropathy

Needle size for Surgery injections?
Yesterday I had my 3 monthly B12 jab and was rather taken aback to be injected in the shoulder with a 21G 1 1/2 “needle which was quite painful unlike when I self inject with 25G x 1” needle. I don’t remember needles being this large in the past and wondered if this is common practice to draw from ampoule

Vegan breast-feeding and supplements
My daughter is currently breast feeding. The baby can’t tolerate dairy so my daughter, who is already vegetarian has had to cut out dairy. So she’s now vegan. I asked her if she’s supplementing b12 and she said she’s been advised to take this multi supplement. Looking at it it includes an impressive

New GP is considering to give me B12 pills instead of injections - would that be the same in the long run?
Started having B12 injections two yeas ago and worked fine. Now moved to a new village and the new GP ordered blood tests to see if I should continue. Fought back and said that without the injections my B12 levels are going down. He asked me to take vitamin pills and have another blood test. If levels

Duff batch of B12?
Have any self-injectors ever found their symptoms coming back big-time over a period of several weeks and wondered if they've been using a duff batch of B12? I have been self-injecting every other day for 18 months because of persistent neurological symptoms (paraspinal muscle spasm). I was doing great

I've been thinking a lot about people's misdiagnoses........
We talk a lot about the vast number of people who have been misdiagnosed, who went on to self treat, and subsequently improved their health, and their quality of life. But what about those who have received a diagnosis, and accepted it?? My GP at the time of my B12 crash wanted to diagnose me with Fibromyalgia

Just diagnosed. Does this explain my life? Especially my recent experiences?
For as long as I can remember, I have been suffering with various levels of depression and anxiety, lack of energy, poor sleep habits and headaches.Yet both times I have come out of hospital with B12 shots, I have felt like a new man with a new brain, like nothing previous worried me as much anymore.

B12 result after 6 months…
Hi, So initially in October I was diagnosed with what they suspect to be pernicious anaemia, I had a negative IF test but due to me having diabetes and no other factors which could indicate why I was so low in B12 they put it down to me having pernicious anaemia. I had 6 loading doses after which my

Made my decision about ablation and very interesting article
Firstly, to my surprise I have an ablation booked for April 9th. But.....after doing much reading and talking to my EP I think I am going to decline at this time. What made my mind up is the article I have attached below which I think some of you will find very interesting. It talks about the PVI and

Angular Cheilitis?
Just wondering if anyone suffers from Angular Cheilitis with their RA keep getting it and mentioning to the GP but he just ignored it. I've had my B12 checked and it was ok. I've read sulfasalazine can cause it. I'm also on Benepali jab once a week. Ive also read it could be folate levels but I think

what does urine colour indicate?
Hi everyone. Just a quick question! I am on a cruise holiday at present and am SI 3 x 1.5 hydro b12 daily. My pee is a light lemon and clear so no sign of the excess b12 being pee'd out as far as colour goes. Does this mean that my body is utilizing all of what I am SI?? I am still experiencing neuropathy

Error in Design
I experienced successful results of a 12 day trial of 1.5 mg of adenosylcobalamin and 1.5 mg of methylcobalamin 5 times a day including setting an alarm and injecting at night. 50 mg of P-5-P B6 twice a day to treat B6 deficiency. So I designed a trail to explore the results of injecting three forms
