I have to go on B12 injections?

The "reasons" are not the tiredness, joint pain, and leg twitches--

Those are SYMPTOMS. What you should be asking your doctor is

Symptoms of WHAT specifically.

Do you have anemia? If so, what's causing the anemia? Are you a vegetarian? Could you have G.I. bleeding? Polyps maybe? Is it a problem in you digestion, that you are not ABSORBING nutrients from your diet? Could you have something destroying your red blood cells? If so, what is it?

B-12 injections are simply treating the symptoms, not the source of the problem.

B-12 deficiency doesn't occur in a vacuum. We usually only need

very small amounts of B-12, which we get normally get from our diet, as meat eaters, and B-12 is essential for the production of functioning, oxygen-carrying red blood cells within our bone marrow.

Intake of excess B-12 also has a odd and interesting "lock out" effect. We can only fill the tank so far and then, whatever excess B-12 we take is simply creating a resistance to further absorption-----UNLESS, we are, somehow, somewhere along the line, physically LOSING or NOT PRODUCING the necessary number of red blood cells within the body.

The injections should help improve your symptoms rapidly, but that is

all they will do, relieve symptoms. You are still missing a cause.

I actual have B12 injections each and every 10 weeks and that i too locate them very painful. no longer purely together as having them yet my arm aches for some days after. If one particular nurse supplies it to me its a procedures much less painful on the time yet I nevertheless soreness afterwards. I did ask the physician this question and he advised me it became because of the fact it had to circulate into the muscle.

i had one when i was pregnant. i had more energy and felt better. the injection hurt but was worth it.
