Vitamin B12 Injections - Everything you need to know with Dr Mandy 

Good info, thank you!!

I give myself a shot once a month and have severe leg cramping days just before it’s time for another B12 shot. The shots do not hurt at all. It runs in the family. Pain and Stress eats up Seratonin and B12 in my own opinion. This Doctor nails the symptoms!

Most GP/ PC Drs do NOT carry shots anymore! Goto a health clinic such as a weight loss or get into a cancer blood doctor’s care. They have them in the infusion centers. ( b-12 shots) I ordered mine online at a pharmacy on line with doctors. They prescribed it. They cost about $125 for 4 weeks of treatment at .05ml a week.

why do most doctors refuse to give b-12 therapy injections - Ive been asking for over 10 years without success....FINALLY got iron IV with another next week and am hopeful that my chronic fatigue will be improved

Hi I just want to know do you know what is the name of molecule use for the B12 injection?

As soon as i get small dosage for allergy test, i get dizzy, what could be the problem? I am not able to take b12 shots because of this, my b12 levels were 80 when i got it tested earlier, after some oral supplements and nasal spray, it only reached 130, please help.

So I've been on a vegan diet for 3 years now without any issues just by taking regular B12 supplements. But in the past couple of months I've been experiencing this tingling, static sensation that you feel when, for example, when your arm falls asleep, but all over my body. Literally everywhere, in my back, my scalp, my tongue, in the inside of my ears... Last sunday I experimented a bit and took 5 times the amount of B12 supplements that I usually take in one day and it's gotten a bit better, but now it's back to being really bad again, no matter how much B12 I take. Maybe it isn't a B12 deficiency, but then I have no idea what it could be, because nothing in my diet changed. I have a doctors appointment about my blood test results today, so I guess I'll see.

All this information is pretty much common knowledge. A tutorial on how to give yourself an injection would be helpful along with the best point of entry. I have B-12 deficiency, due to Intrinsic Factor Blocking and I don't ever recall seeing any instruction on administering the injection.

I'm in the UK and on B12 3 monthly injections but 4 weeks before my next one is due I feel weak with many of the originol symptons recurring, can I take B12 lozenges that go under the tongue as well as the injections or would I be better just switching to tablets so I don't feel good for a couple of months then off colour in the weeks leading up to my next dose, maybe pills would manage the symptons better, I dont want to flood my body with too much B12 as that will have side effects too, I'm also on iron and vit D, any advice from those knowledgeable in the subject,

There is a b12 patch. Slow release. B12 is not easily absorbed for some ppl with medication like metformin & statin. B12 need folic acid.

My Doctor 👨‍⚕️ clearly saw me shaking and I asked him to please give me a B-12 shot and he said they give them anymore take the pill and I truly need it with my health problems!

I just do it at home :p ordered mine from my trt clinic :D

I am taking a heart tablet that controls my fibrillation and a blood thinner is it ok to take a seven seas multivitamin tablet for the over 50+ that has B12 in them? I am 78 woman😊

How do you even check this deficiency? Blood work came back as not being deficient, but the symptoms exist. How do you convince your doctor?

Got it! Well stated, Dr M! Thanks for sharing the knowledge! There are so many people with normal b12 serum levels with inadequate uptake into the cells!

Do you know of a formaldehyde free injection for b12? I was shocked to see it in the ingredient list on a b12 injection a friend offered me. 😮 I would never inject any heavy metals into myself they’re toxic and can overload the system.

What if you’re high on B12?

Do you recommend b12 injection if your b12 blood test result is at 175 pg/ml ? Ref range is from 180-810pg/ml

Take you b12 seriously. I didn't know I had a deficiency cuz my stomach has trouble absorbing it and it ended up putting me in the hospital for a week. B12 is needed for your bone marrow to make red blood cells and mine got so low, it nearly killed me. Now I have to give myself a shot of B12 once a week.

If I take a b12 injection being low on b12 you take a vitamin b12 also

I have been advised to take vitamin b12 tablets but now use a mouth spray which is more absorbent.

After 2 doses of Methylcobalamin B12 injections (2 weeks apart), my B12 level went from low-medium (320 pmol/L) to absolutely way to high (1132 pmol/L) normal range is 200-600 pml/L in Canada. I suspect my Naturopath simply injected me with way too much on my last visit. The blood test reading was 8 days after my 2nd injection. Question: How long will it take for my body to get back to a normal B12 range. Praying this hasn't damaged me permanently, other than give me horrendous anxiety and total insomnia which seems to be improving now (slept 5 hrs straight for the first time in 10 days).

I have tingling like pricks all over my back and neck inspite of completing 5,vitamin b12 Injection.please advise thanks.

Can you get numbness and tingling feeling in your legs and feet and hands if lacking b12 I am diabetic they say neuropathy I wonder if lacking in b12

What are the myst common side effects that you are aware of? Whether it be from your patience or from studies. Are there any medications or alternative treatments that you're aware of that are effective what's the side effects caused by B12

considering that the daily RDAs is only 2.4 to 2.8 micrograms it seems like a lot of B12. How much B12 per injection?

I have b12 deficiency and my symptoms are fatigue, walking imbalance means when I walk I feel vertigo and off balance..I couldn't walk for short distance my legs feel like strength less...I took b12 injections for 5 times day by day...how long it takes to go away these symptoms when we start taking b12 injections?

Vitamin b12 infection pills or liquid

My B-12 level was only 213, then my Doctor gave me 1000 mcg injections once a week for 4 weeks. I also took 1000mcg B-12 daily supplements. My B-12 level is now 1198!

Is there significant difference between pills and injection of B12?

How about if someone 🤔 is on a blood thinner on a a whole lot of other pills 💊 And also on a pace maker and is elderly would the benefit 🤔from the injection treatments. What's the best 👌way to determine a deficiency? Where do you start with primary care or an internist
