anyone receive Vitamin B-12 shots?

July 30, 2008

I give myself one every week. Helps with my energy. I think almost 50%

of women are b vitamin deficient. My Dr didn't " diagnose " me with

anything, I asked for them because I can't take B vitmains orally. B

vitamins play a role in many body functions. I feel just all around

better when I take them.

Thanks , you did answer my question.

Too bad your mom didn't go to the doctor until it was too late. Glad

she is getting the B-12 shots to help her. Haven't heard from my

doctor yet. They tend to call me in late afternoons.
