I did not know this!!!

Yesterday morning I got dressed early for work so that I could stop by the PCP office and get my B-12 shot. When I went in to have the shot I told the nurse (dr's wife) that the first shot I got 2 months ago really gave me a burst of energy and didn't feel it much with the second shot that I got. I told her that I started taking a few B-12's pills before I was due to come back this time to give me a little boost. By that time she had already gave me the shot and told me NOT to take the pills to!!! I could get poisioned from it!!! LOL...I didn't know that nor did I even think about it being harmful! She said maybe I could try taking the shot every 3 weeks rather than 4 weeks but NOT to take the pills. After I left the doctors office I was thinking....Lisa you big dummy!!! You took 2 B-12 pills this morning before the shot!!! I thought I was a dead duck!!! When I got to work I told the dept. mgr what I had done and what the nurse had said. I also told her that if I get sick or die she will know why. It was my own stupidity I know and will not try that anymore!!! Thought I would let you all know so you don't make the stupid mistake that I made in case you didn't know like I didn't know. Lisa S.

I had no idea..of course I just do the pills. No shots yet. I home you don't keel over on us... You will be fine... Hugs,

Yup, I am sure I will be fine!!! Seems like if I was going to have any reaction to it I would have had it yesterday....So as you can see....I am still breathing Lisa S.

WOW scary!!! This is why I always call my surgeon before "self medicating" lol Never know whats going to mix or not mix. Just because we can buy it "off the shelf" doesn't mean we should take it LOLOL. Glad to hear you are ok!! *huggles* Felicia =0)

WOW that is scary. Thanks for letting us know. My doc does not do the shots we have always done the under the tongue pills. Never done anything else. I never take anything without checking with him or my nut 1st though. It is good they brought it to your attention though. If you feel better with a moer frequent dose of it you might ask about doing the sublingual dots every day. Hubby did it and he had tons of energy. Just a thought. Thanks for the info, Melissa

The doctor that I go to in town is not the doctor that did the WLS. I started out with the one dot a day and it didn't do much for me. I guess at this point I think I should feel like "Wonder Woman" or "Bionic Woman" Lisa S

You go girl!!! Wonder Woman sounds good to me! when I go a day or two forgetting the b-12 it really does make a difference. That is sooooo important. I am so glad you have a new doc. Maybe the more frequent shots will help. Like I said our surgeon does not do them here he was part of a study that found that the sublingual dots worked better so that is what we do. Who knows. One thing I have learned is all the docs are different. I am glad you did not get sick. That would sooooo not have been fun! WOO HOO for the extra energy though!!! Hugs, Melissa
