For the past ten years, my formerly healthy and active husband started to suffer from a chain of baffling,life-threatening metabolic and digestive disorders including 2 attacks of acute pancreatitis requiring hospitalisation (he doesn't drink), fatty liver (non alcoholic), high cholesterol, anxiety, vertigo, exhaustion, disabling muscle cramps, shortness of breath ,hypothyroidism - his health was going to pot and nobody knew why. His blood levels were in the normal range. Everything was "normal" Out of sheer desperation I asked my GP if she would prescribe B12 injections. After the first one, he already felt better. He's been getting the shots 5 times a week for 3 weeks. He's feeling fantastic. It's truly a miracle. BTW, his serum level was 258 - not considered low - but it was for him.
this medication very effective upon use monthly...I will recommend to ask anyone to ask doctor if vitamin B-12 is needed...
Had no idea what was wrong with me for a long while. Even the dr had no clue. Finally got some answers after many blood tests. Had a Shilling test and started injections which I now give to myself and have for many years now. Thought I was going crazy for a while. After beginning treatment I was like a new person.
I began taking it without recommendation of a doctor. UPON RESEARCHING IT found it to be VERY DANGEROUS. Google it and you also will find that it contains a low level of cyanide. That is poisonous. You may experience help from it but stop taking it. The proper B12 would be METHYL COBALAMINE. This is safe to take. I purchased the sublingual form over the counter at a health food store.
I am interested in knowing how this drug dispensed I used to get it in a multiple dose vial now they tell me it only comes in a 1 cc vial and it is very expensive
Have been using it for 23 years and my b12 levels have been excellent. Injections are once a month. No problems, no side effects.
I have taken cyanocobalamin for 12 years and have had relief from my symptoms without side effects.
I was in hosp,and upon discharge I was told that I had to take my B-12 inj as an out patient ,I had to take oneinj,for 6 weeks and then there after for iyear once a month. I can feel the difference.
Have had injections monthly, then weekly for many years and it greatly improves my energy, mood, bruising and hair condition. I get really tired and cranky when levels get low.
Have had weekly shots for 4 weeks, much improved stamina. Now on monthly shots, Dr. says it will take 3 months to get full effect, feel at least 50% better, can't wait to see after 3 months.
I always feel much better after an injection but I think I may need to have it more frequently than every 2 weeks. I get tired again after a week.
3 injections now and my hair is not only growing, but new hair is coming in. Also noticed that my blood sugars are better. Also my balance for walking has improved a little. Lost now 20 pounds as well.
after 2 injections i see improvement in my hair. i knew there was something wrong with my health.
I have been taking this for 4 months for my Fibromyalgia and the difference is amazing. I can move around without pain, my joints don't keep me awake in pain. I can tell such a difference. When I run out and go without my injections a few weeks I am curled up in pain, and joints swollen. For me this makes my life so much more enjoyable, I can play with my grandchildren. Before finding this my medical DR. had me on 12 different meds. I was misarable gained 40 pounds in a year taking all the other meds. I would recommend this treatment to anyone, at least try it, for a few weeks. It has made such a big improvement in my life. I was on antidepressants for years, but, am proud to say that I have not needed them since beginning this from of treatment.
My Dr was injecting me w/1 ml 1x/week for 6 weeks. It GREATLY improved my energy level and even my MOOD! I went off for a while because I moved out of state and could REALLY tell the difference after not being on it for a few weeks. I just started taking it again at home myself instead of having to go into the Drs every week. This is like a MIRACLE drug to me. You can REALLY tell the difference... just give it a couple of weeks... I am happy I did. =0)
I have been getting injections twice a week, and have started to feel less tired exhausted after the fifth shot. Once my B12 level reaches an adequate level I should be able to switch to pills.
After 40, I started experiencing less effectiveness with only 1 injection per month... was feeling really run down, especially around menstrual cycles... am considering asking the doc to increase my dosage to two injections per month...
Found my B-12 to be 160. Since on daily to weekly and now monthly doses, my stamina and vitality have improved. One remarkable side effect was that all my body hair turned from grey to black....
