from Phyllicia,

When I lived in North Carolina, and had multiple ES symptoms,

I did take B12 shots 3 times a week. They did help my energy level

quite a lot. My doctor prescribed them for me, and my next door

neighbor, who was a nurse, administered them. If I needed them

now I would administer them myself. Sticking a little needle in

the thigh or hip is no big deal. Best Regards, Phyllicia

The shots worked better for me than pills or the sublingual pills.

My doctor didn't push the shots. I had to talk him into giving them

to me. Phyllicia

There's a huge difference (at least for me) between

the various forms of B-12.

Intra-muscular injections of cyanocobalamine (1 cc every 2 weeks

for several months) had a significant somatic effect in the form of

more energy, and far less tremors. Thinking about going back for more.

Sublingual Methylcobalamine, which crosses the blood brain barrier,

affected my cranium. It really helped alleive my tooth pain after

having all the mercury fillings removed, whereas injections

offered no tooth pain releif.

Only about 1% of injested B-12 is ultimately absorbed.

Unfortunately neither helped my tinnitus.

I haven't seen the whole thread, but in case it hasn't been brought

up;

You can mix the injectible (liquid) B12 w/DMSO, and apply directly to

the skin, it will be absorbed transdermally this way.

I've done this when it's difficult to find a Dr. who knows about B12.

Nurse practitioners have been my best source for them. I had one

when pregnant for relieving sciatica (worked great), and another for

fatigue and stress in college.

I didn't find them making me hyper, so I wonder about the type, or

what other substances were in the injection? I found they gave me a

calm, even energy for about a month, and did work much better than

oral, sublingual, or nasal gel even.

Methocobalamin is the one to ask for by the way. Most is

cyanocobalamin (cyanide).

Merry Christmas all o' ya's.
