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