Stuff to Know About B12
The needles are so small...and that is so easy to do, that I do it myself. Unless you are in a doc office for other things - just going there for B12 may cost you a copay (In my case - $25). + the time...
BTW: I always get energy surge when I get B12. The more deficient I was - the bigger the "surge" so make sure you get B12 - pills or injections in the morning. Or that may prevent you from getting a good night sleep.

Now I know exactly when I start to tank on my B12 levels.

I've been bruising terribly lately. All someone has to do is gently squeeze my arm and I will bruise. This has never happened before. I asked my surgeon's office about it and they said my iron was coming up. B12 is NOT good it is in the 100's. I've been taking REGULAR b12 in pill form; once a day 500 mcg!!! Could this be why?
I'm ordering the patches stat!! I'm worried.
But it shouldn't cause bruising. What's your iron level?
