recommedations for patches or lozenges
I have been injecting my son with B12 for a couple of months about twice a week. He tried self injecting but has a needle phobia and was passing out. He is about to go away Europe for a month and I thought to get him some patches or lozenges to try and help keep his levels of B12 up. Has anyone used

I have a unicorn doctor
ohmygoodness…. I know this should be the standard level of care but I’m still in shock. I just had my latest GP appointment who has been looking after me since my big crash back in March. She had agreed 3 weeks ago to put me back onto weekly injections after such a dismal response to monthly (surprise

Pins and needles help
Friends, I have been diagnosed with Pernicious Anemia and am suffering the classical pins and needles sensation in my arms and legs. B12 jabs have significantly reduced the sensation but I still have some remaining. Is there any over the counter or “home grown” products which can help relief?

New PA diagnosis
Hi all Recently found to have autoimmune gastritis with stomach polyps. I also have Hashimotos (autoimmune thyroid addressed & on meds) and ckd stage 3 I was given the B12 loading dose of 6 injections. I read since a high intake of B12 is not good for the kidneys? Does anyone know if this is the case

Rejected by NHS again
Hi everyone. After being diagnosed with gastritis (cause unknown) in December I took the advice of the gastroenterologist and started Omeprazole treatment. I’ve been having stomach issues for at least 7 years. After four months of treatment I was experiencing breakthrough symptoms so decided to taper

Strange definition of pernicious anemia
Found this questionable definition of pernicious anemia on a Johns Hopkins web page about gastritis: [i]
Pernicious anemia
. This is a form of anemia that happens when your stomach can't digest vitamin B-12.[/i] Even the best seem to get it wrong. https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases

Since taking over my PA treatment with frequent injections, my symptoms have greatly ameliorated. However, there's one thing I hadn't anticipated. Recently I've had to have a couple of teeth extracted. Each time I've ended up in casualty because the bleeding wouldn't stop, and wondered about B12.

About two weeks ago I put a post on here about my anxiety around changing my treatment plan from Hydroxy to Peg Interferon. I had been sent the vaccine but not given any specific instruction about how to self inject. I appreciated the advice I was given from others who had trodden this path before
