B12 Patch?

I just got my labs back and my B12 levels are low even though I take pills and sublinguals.  My sister suggested the B12 patch.  Does anyone know anything about it?  Also my PCP won't prescribe B12 shots so I was wondering if anyone has ordered them from Canada.   Thanks!  Valerie

A lot of u sorder both the syringes and B complex or B12 from some veterinary sites, such as www.jefferspets.com . I cannot "say" that it is safe, but I've used it for several years. My PCP will rx for me, and it is so very cheap, like .20 per shot, but this is as cheap or even more. I prefer to do the rx B12 weekly and then 1/2 cc of this complex every other week. For a 3 month test period, I did shots daily and didn't have enough rx to do it, so alternated with this and the rx. My levels, which I'd like to remain over 1000 never even REACHED 1000. Amazing.

The actual product does its job, tho, since if I forget and do shots on Satruday and get labs on Monday (duh, how many ways ca you spell dumb?), the numbers are thru the roof. My husbands gets great results using the weekly rx & 1/2 cc of complex every other week, too.

Thanks Michelle for your response!  I never thought about a vet site... interesting!  I can't wait until next year with my new insurance so I can change PCP.  I think she has become "gun" shy with all the WLS patients that have been coming to her.  I requested a full lab panel done and she took them but wanted me to be referered to an "expert" to read them.... It did not make sense!  So I have asked the Tx Board for some referals and think I might have a couple to try out.  Also I am suggesting to all the WLS patients that go to her  to find a new PCP - it is obvious that she is not able or willing to monitor us like I think it should be done.  Thanks again!
