Question:
How does this plan of action sound for low b12?

I just had my lab work done last Thursday and was totally expecting my B12 to be low. I have not taken B 12 and really just wanted to see if I could defy reality and keep it up without supplementation! Well, my level is 270. I believe my last level was 500(?) almost 1 1/2 years ago. I have been pretty tired and run down lately. Anyway, my PCP wants me to have 1000mcg every 2 weeks (injections)and to follow up again in 3 months to see how it is doing. Does this sound like enough? Should I also do the sublinquals? Will I suffer any long term effects from having my B12 this low for possibly a year? Michelle are you out there? Shelley    — Shelley. (posted on February 3, 2004)

How come you never took the sublinguals before? I love taking them because the next day I feel like superwoman!

If you FEEL tired, you need more for sure. You probably are not sustaining damage yet. Have you got things in place for subliguals, retest in a few weeks? Or shots? You'd like those levels to be up 600-800, in there. I do shot weekly and that works. My husband is every other and works great for him.
