Tracy Witty, from b12deficiency.info has set up a petition make injectable vitamin B12 (hydroxocobalamin) available over the counter.

In Scotland you get injections every month. (I think). because the subject was raised in parliament by way of a petition, pretty much like the thyroid petition, which is still be ing considered.

Thanks Lyn - posted this Petition earlier and have signed. Hope we can get the numbers up. Have forwarded to many - most of whom think I'm as mad as a box of frogs - but hopefully they will read and sign :-)

Just off for another B12 injection ! Bought OTC with the syringes then popped along to the village clinic and was dealt with immediately - just love this place.... :-) Am on day 11 and doing well....

Thank you for posting....

I am wanting to sign the petition and make an important comment in the box but it keeps telling me that I can only put in 15 characters. I have got the "words" down to 13 but it still won't let me post it. Is there a problem that needs sorting out or does "characters" mean letters? You can't write anything with fifteen letters!

Hi Phoebs, Unfortunately, I think they have a minimum number of characters (this means letters, numbers, stars, hashtag etc and sometimes spaces) so that people do not write their whole medical history. Just do the best you can! :-(

Hi Phoebs

It's really odd as there are very long comments on this petition! can you contact change.org...?

in reply toLouiseRoberts

I'll try.

I don't know what happened.....I got onto Change.Org and got a form to fill in to submit a question. After filling it in I pressed the button "send" and up came a message with a green tick and the words "B12 For Life Created" !!! Now what have I done?

Sorry, I have no idea. :(

We are not affiliated with Change.org or the people who created this petition - we were just letting people know about it.

I can only suggest contacting change.org..

Sorry.. :(
