Perhaps the pharmacy alerted him to this protocol when he phoned in the

script. He gave me a paper describing technique. I told him I gave sq

injections to diabetic cats and dogs fairly regularly. (Don't worry, they

aren't my animals. I do it when I take care of them. That's why I say

" fairly regularly " .)

Is there anything I can do in the imediate future (before I see Dr. P on the

21st) to improve my B-12 utilization to see if that's the problem?

Thanks,
