I would feel the benefit of an IM shot within 24 hours (increased energy, less fatigue), but with the sub cue injections, even though injecting more frequently, i am tired all the time.
Can anyone shed any light please?

I think you have to take into consideration that your fatigue now 'could be' down to other factors, if I remember right you have had some things happening that are not 'usual' for your body to go through with?
As for your question:
I don't think there is a proper calculation, I have learnt by experience over the months how often to self inject and I now have settled for every 5 to 7 days.
Some inject every other day, some like me some every month, we are all different.
Have you looked on the pernicious anaemia society forum? there are so many people there
I'm low on energy so am looking to be spoon fed the info
Somewhere i once read something about sub cue being slower acting, surely then you'd need less.
I was wanting to understand the difference in absorption between the 2 techniques
Blue, Treatment for pernicious anemia has changed from injections to oral B12 in some places. Why not try the sublingual B12 on a daily basis and see if it gives better results. It is not expensive.
Please be aware that a normal injection of Vit B12 should last three months, I have found that some people need one every two months but have not found many people needing them more than that. It is not stored so you are wasting a lot. If you are still suffering then you need to find out if there is anything else going on as has been suggested by others.
