B12 Injections - how much?
My surgeon started ALL postop patients on 1 ml weekly at one month postop. Then, after several months, looks at labs to see where you are and how to adjust. I maintained the weekly shots till recently when my reading was >1500 (highest value the lab could generate) and my new doc said to go to monthly shots. What he did not know was that I take my shot when I refill my pill tray weekly. ALL meds are stored together and it worked for me. Once he changed me to monthly, I just plain forgot to take the stuff at all and dropped all the way to 692! UGH!! SO, I am going to stick to my 1 ml weekly. OR perhaps go to 1/2 ml weekly and that will be half what I was previously taking. Perhaps that will make him happy AND allow me to stick to my plan of taking with pill tray refill times.
