Re: Don't think the doc knows so I am asking the group-Becky

Hi Becky,

I have been thinking more about the B12 shot issue and feel like I botched the

answer to your

question... Then I was thinking about how someone on another board was talking

about how

they administered the shot...they realized that they had been injecting the

needle

perpendicular to their son's skin but that they should have been injecting it at

as deep an

angle as possible so that it would go into the fatty part of the skin to be

released slowly. It

made me think that I have not been doing it at a sharp enough angle. Could it

be that our

little guys do best when they just have a bit of the B12 left (as the big dose

has dissipated)?

Do you guys use FolaPro? We do a half a tablet in the AM and PM. We started our

shots the

day before yesterday but I think we need a bit more time to see if it helps...

Now that I think of it, someone else mentioned that their son did better on

Hydroxy B12 (as

opposed to the Methyl). Maybe that is something to look into as well?

I don't know if this helps at all - I just thought I'd throw it out there...

Best regards,
