B-12 Shots

Hi~My doctor has prescribe B-12 shots, 1mg daily in the Hydoxocobolamin form. Well, I have been on it for over 10 days, and I do NOT feel different. Have any of you done the shots, and if so, how do you feel? Mine are preservative free and they do not hurt too badly when I inject them. I feel I should feel some better, but, I don't, any ideas?

I used to get b12 shots. My PCP is holistic so I think most of his patients got the shots. I didn't have fatigue, so its hard to remember if I felt any different because I didn't feel bad to start with..

I don't know what amount he was even giving me to tell you the truth, so I'm not much help, am I? lol

I wonder why he didn't prescribe it for me to do home..as a matter of fact not until someone else had said on another forum that they do their own b shots, I don't think I knew before that was mentioned that doctors write scripts for people to do it at home.

But anyway sassy, I hope you feel better soon and I hope someone can give you an answer to your question.

Its past my bed time,
take care,

Well, my Naturopath agreed to switch from the Hydroxocobalamin to the Methylcobalamin, I had read where it was absorbed better, I have been on it for about 5 days and I do feel better, also, the pH is neutral, so it does not burn as I give myself the injection.

Well, I had to stop them, I think they were starting to make my irregular heart beats worse, so, I emailed my doc and she told me to stop for awhile. I have been off of them for about 3 days now, I don't feel any different, so I guess they were not helping me anyway, the "flutters" are still here, but now, I think it is hormonal and PMS besides the effects of the shot.

I had heard of B-12 making folks more anxious but did not believe it, guess they were right.
