Vitamin B12 injections have become increasingly popular to help patients overcome deficiency that causes these symptoms
By injecting the vitamin, you are able to ensure proper absorption, which may not be the case with oral supplements or naturally occurring B12. Injections can also help you overcome deficiency created by some prescription medication
Dr Mandy has tons of experience using B12 for her patients (and herself). Check out her video for more information and give the clinic a call if you have any questions or would like to book a consultation
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!
Where do you get the B12? Does your doctor give you a prescription and where do you inject it? I just had a B12 shot and I feel so much better! If I could give myself the shot it would save me a doctor visit and money!
You might need more than one shot a month to start off with if you’re having symptoms, I’ve usually seen the protocol being 2 to 3 per week or even every other day to start off with (this is if you’re experiencing neurological symptoms). Might be something to look into!
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.
You can buy it in Mexico too-if you speak Spanish
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
Doctors are not nutritionists and know nothing about deficiencies. Simple answer.
Buy Neogenesis Vit B12 patch or there are sublingual B12 sprays. Don't wait for your symptoms to get worse. And eat beef liver and salmon, both high in B12
But you can inject yourself why wait for that long?
You want source ?
Probably they don’t get paid by Big Pharma for giving B12 shots. There is a lot of money in vaccinations, however.
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.
Dear fellow,all this is not common knowledge.❤
Utube has videos on how to safely do injections
and dosage.
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.
Good info, thank you!!
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!
See if you can find a b12 clinic near you or something like it, or show your doctor some research from the internet. B12 related issues need to be taken very seriously.
Hi I just want to know do you know what is the name of molecule use for the B12 injection?
I just do it at home :p ordered mine from my trt clinic :D
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.
There is a b12 patch. Slow release. B12 is not easily absorbed for some ppl with medication like metformin & statin. B12 need folic acid.
True and even B12 patches will not help people with pernacious anemia, like my wife. This genetic problem
is most common in people of N. Eroupean descent. It destroys the ability of the body to process B12 from
food and requires B12 injections.
B12 needs folate, not folic
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?
I watched a doctor the other day ,talking about this very thing, he said you must ask for an active B12 blood test, not a normal one which often says you are okay.
@@vallee3140 I will do just that. Thank you so much for responding to me. It means a lot!! Much love!!
It’s taken me 4 years despite family history. My balance has become badly affected in the last few days even after starting folic acid tablets. I’ve had/got all the symptoms and have had them for ages. Slept for 17hrs and only sat up to drink to eat a little food prepared by my amazing husband. So, so debilitating.
I have pernicious anemia and get B12 injections. I had gone to GP and she said I’m in normal range after two years of getting injections. Initially I had zero B12 in my system. I can’t absorb it through food. Went to cardiologist and he said yes your numbers are in normal range but on the lowest end of it as was vitamin D. That is a problem with most doctors. Normal range particularly lowest end isn’t good enough but they tell you you’re okay. I now continue the injections but also use oral B12 drops under the tongue. High dose of D also. Cardiologist saved my life. As it is I have nerve damage from lacking it for years. No reversing nerve damage.
@M H. Wow!! I had no idea. You have been through a lot. You are strong. And I didnt know you could not reverse nerve damage.
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,
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!
How r u feeling... All ur symptoms came to normal now??
@@premmysterio4018 Yes.
@@neilseiffer may i knw with what symptoms u r suffering when u started taking b12
@@premmysterio4018 Before taking B12: muscle loss, lightheaded, loss of energy.
@@neilseiffer do u have mild tremors like vibrating inside ur body before taking b12 injection...
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.
Good info. I did not know that. I have severe bone pain.
Bonsai treehouse-yeah.agree with u.b12 is to be taken seriously.the deficiency can k i l l.or worse it may make you a cripple in so many ways.👍❤️😍
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?
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😊
I have been having hand and leg numbness,leval of vtmn b12 my body is 249,now i am taking vtmn b12 injection, (5injection @day,4injection @week and 6injection@month).so far i have taken 5 injection,nd the symptoms not subsided.Will my hand and leg numbness subside after completion of injection
If I take a b12 injection being low on b12 you take a vitamin b12 also
What if you’re high on B12?
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.
I use Hydrocobamine by Takeda and used hydroxocobalamine by Centrafarm in the past (that one gave me acne). I don’t see this ingredient listed on either of those , so I’m guessing those would be fine. I can list you the ingredients if you want.
Hydroxycobalomin
Do you recommend b12 injection if your b12 blood test result is at 175 pg/ml ? Ref range is from 180-810pg/ml
It should not be less than 400. As the lady says absorption can be a problem, especially in older people.
I’ve been told that if you’re experiencing symptoms and your levels are within the low to normal range, you need injections
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!
Agree with u.tbj2.👍❤️
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
Yeap!
I have tingling like pricks all over my back and neck inspite of completing 5,vitamin b12
Injection.please advise thanks.
If you’re experiencing symptoms because of a lack of b12 you may need to get injections for life because there is a high chance that your body isn’t able to absorb it on its own.
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?
It is 1000 mcg or more
@@user-vr9cb1hm2h according to the NIH it's 2.4.
"The Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA) for vitamin B12 is based on the amount needed for the maintenance of hematological status and normal serum vitamin B12 values. An assumed absorption of 50 percent is included in the recommended intake. The RDA for adults is 2.4 μg/day of vitamin B12."
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).
Look into it online, the fact that the level of b12 in your blood is high doesn’t mean your body’s actually able to absorb it. That’s why they inject it into the muscle and your blood levels are gonna be very high, that’s normal. See if you can find a b12 clinic near you or someone to treat/advise you. As far as I know if you’re experiencing these kinds of symptoms you need at least one or two injections per week. I’m currently on every other day as I was having a lot of neurological issues. This is something most GP’s aren’t aware of and so you usually can’t really trust their advice on it.
B12 levels are abnormally high within six months of dosing. It will balance out in time.
@@Sorchae thanks for the reply. I'm confused.. I had horrendous anxiety and total insomnia AFTER the second B12 injection. It took about 3 weeks for me to feel normal again.. the first and only B12 injection was enough I think, I felt decent but the following week is when the 2nd B12 injection floored me.
@@thegrymwolf6360 Thanks. It actually took about 3 weeks until I started to feel normal.. too scared to touch B12 injections again.
@@jimdoukis7496 apparently that’s a normal thing that a lot of people experience, where the symptoms get a bit worse at first as the body heals. It might also have to do with the fact that you didn’t take any injections after that for 3 weeks but that totally depends what your body needs and what the cause is of your deficiency. Was it that you were just not ingesting any b12, or were you ingesting it but your body wasn’t able to absorb it properly? In the second case I would strongly advise against quitting the b12 injections as this can do more harm to your body than possibly taking “too much”. I have gotten most useful info from Facebook groups, I would check those out and try to figure out what caused your deficiency. Hope that helps!
Vitamin b12 infection pills or liquid
Is there significant difference between pills and injection of B12?
Yes. The injection bypasses the digestive system so you absorb the whole lot of b12, supplements take much longer to work. As someone who has the shots every three months myself
@@stephaniemollart4637have you gotten any side effects from it?
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

Poor sound
I turned it off because of the sound. I don't even know what she's talking about. I just went straight to comments
Homocysteine., cbc, mch, mcv,
Make sure injections are not synthetic!!!! Not good per other Doctors.
