Giving you back YOUR life
I'm on the injections but feel no better.

Hi Everyone,
After being diagnosed with 'boarderline B12 deficiency' my GP prescribed hydroxocoalamin injections (1000mcg). The loading dose was disappointing to begin with and I returned for a further blood test. This revealed large amounts of B12 in my blood stream, but I still felt sleepy/confused/joint pain. Eventually, after about a month, it began to improve. I felt great for about 5 weeks, no mid day sleeping. As my fatigue started to return I was looking forward to the first of my 3 monthly maintenance injections...however that was 2 months ago and I have had no benefit from it at all this time. Will this improve, is there a larger dose, how do I know if my body is having trouble taking up the B12???

Methyl mercury is a particularly toxic form of mercury. We talk about methyl-cobalamin and say that it is a methyl-donor for DNA, so I suppose it is only natural that some people wonder if methyl-cobalamin could possibly donate its methyl group to mercury.
B12 deficiency (or a lack of Vitamin B12 where it is needed) causes a number of common, and some less common, diseases. This page lists some of the most common ones. Restoring the B12 through B12 supplementation can restore health and give you your life back.
Symptoms of B12 deficiency are generally non-specific, that is, they could be caused by a number of different things. It's only when you have a number of different symptoms, occurring at the same time, that it makes sense to look for a common cause such as B12 deficiency.
We're not saying that everyone is B12 deficienty - your doctor needs to work out what is actually causing the problem, and then treat it appropriately.Get in touch
