b12 shot

Shoud you have the opportunity, you might look him in the eye and say to him that you could eat liver 3 times per day (by yourself, BTW!) and eggs between meals and you STILL do not have access to your Intrinsic Factor. That's how I got my doc past that "monthly is enough" thinking. I pointed out that I am not GOING to be able to mate any oral B12 with the IF and therefore, it can only go downhill from here, and I'd prefer not to actually FEEL sick or incur brain or nerve damage. And he said, "Oh!", like I reminded him of something he had in his 10 minute nutrition class and he was good with it.

Then HE had actually read the new 800-is-low study (last year), which made me fall off the exam table.

But til he came around, he was rx 2 per month, and I got the veterinary one for the extras.

But I did shots daily for 90 days (combo of rx and vet) and still only reached 919. Mind you, like so many I started at over 2000 and drifted down to 1800 for awhile, then suddenly was at 300. Normal on old levels, dangerously low on new levels.

Thing is, some of the damage cannot be reversed, so good to know that waiting around may cost you some memory or nerve tingling.
