We started with twice each week then went down to once per week. We saw

improvement, but then hit a plateau. We then started doing every day and

wow, what a difference. My son took a big jump in development and language.

And thankfully, finally potty trained. Yay!

After about 2.5 months on daily injections, he became overactive. We went

down to every third day which he has been on for a long time and it seems to

be the right dosage for him (almost 6 years).

My son has made a lot of gains in the past year and I think the mb12 has

played a big role. It totally amazes me that he can now write his name and

is beginning to read.

Hi..Dr. M had us start with twice a week. Then I increased it to

daily and now do every other day. We see huge gains from these

shots. I had NEVER given a shot and had no one to practice on so

I just jumped in and did it. The second one I gave I tried doing it

while he was asleep and it was so easy. And I am doing this with two

diapers on him and pj's to contend with and unzipping a crib tent

and hanging over the crib! If I am able to do it, anyone can! I am

the least likely one to give a shot. I am just glad that no one

can see this every other night!

Good luck.. it is not hard.. I always still dread it but then it

goes so easily.

Keep us posted!

Thanks for the replies and input. I hope to start tomorrow. I know

I can do it, but it really helps to hear positive results!

I just wanted to mention to be careful if you are getting the B12

from regular pharmacies. Some have aluminim, some do not. When we

first got a RX for the B12 I got it at an Eckerd Drug and when I got

it home read the really fine print to see it.
