RE: Vit B-12 Deficiency

Hi Patti.

Â

I have been on my B12 now for over a month and my Neuropathy is gone, no more

pain, tingling etc.Â It has worked wonderfully for me, and if you go this

route, I hope it helps you too..Â My Dr. had me buy my B12 pills in the health

store.Â They are tiny, tasteless and disolve under my tongue in a few

seconds.Â I take one each morning.-

Â

I have never had to take the B12 shot but my mother did.Â She got one a month

until her levels were back to normal.Â I have no idea if they hurt or not.

Â

I hope you feel better soon.

Â

Hugs,

Â

Barbara

Hi Everyone,

I had my B-12 blood work done and turns out I am low! Number should be

between 180 and 914 and I'm at 189, so I'm going to see my Dr this afternoon

for treatment options (that's how the nurse put it).

First, thank you to everyone who emailed me about B-12, I'm really hoping it

helps my neuropathy.

Second, if anyone can tell me what they do for their B-12 deficiency I'd

really appreciate it, I'm just really curious what options I may get from

the Dr. I've been searching on the internet about it but I'd love to hear

real life stories. One thing I read was that the B-12 shot is very painful

as it's intramuscular and also that there are a ton of side effects

possible.

So I'm excited that it might help, but a little apprehensive about what this

help will entail.

Thank you,

PJ

Hi PJ

I take the B12 shot every week. My husband gives it to me. He does a good job

and I never feel any pain. My daughter gave it to me once God bless her and I

ended up with a huge bruise that I hid from her for a week and wow did it hurt.

Try and find someone who knows how to gives a shot, maybe a neighbor or friend

whos a nurse or even givess themselves shots for dietbetes. They really are

worth. I have no side effects. Just don't have it done at night. It will keep

you awake.

Hope that helps

Carol

Thank you so much Barbara. I just started on this group and everyone here has

made me feel so much better, emotionally.

The Dr started me on B12 shots today, she wants me to have one per day for 5

days, then one a week for a month, then she wants to re-test. At that point,

depending on what the tests say, she'll either keep me on shots on a monthly

basis or I'll take a pill.

And the shot didn't hurt at all! :-)

Hi Carol,

The Dr didn't say anything at all about having someone other than them give me

the shot, but maybe that's because I may not be on the shot long term, that's

still up in the air. Fortunately the nurse who gave me the shot did it very

well. Even though it had to go into a muscle the only thing I felt was a slight

prick when the needle went in. Although my muscle does feel a tiny bit sore

now, but compared to the rest of me it's nothing. :-)

Thank you for the advice on when to get the shot, I have my appts for the next 4

days and they're all early to mid-afternoon. Although I'm so exhausted all the

time I can just sit down and fall asleep (gets a bit difficult driving at

times), but maybe these will help. I'm keeping my fingers crossed! :-)

Thanks!

Yes, I take vitamin b 12 complex shots and it works very well for me.

I have been taking vitamin b 12 complex shots for many many years. It has a

lot more benefits than you'll ever know, Not only does it help with

neropathy but it also give you energy and I swear it's like getting my

joints lubricated, it is also great for mood and helps balance emotions. I

can't say enough about the benefits of B12 complex. The trick is,when

injecting B12 complex, is to inject it very slow and then it's not painful

at all, but if you inject it too fast it creates a major charlie horse, and

that is very painful. This has been my experience, I hope this is helpful

for you.

Thank you Randy! Yes, everyone's experience has been very helpful for me.

Do the B-12 shots work fast? Or is it really an individual response?
