Have you taken vitamin B12 shots?

Hi there,

I would be interested to know the reasons why you have taken vitamin B12 shots. How frequently did you take them? In what amount? For how long? Did it make any significant contribution to your health and lifestyle? In what ways?

Thanking you in advance.

Thank you everyone for your time and kind responses.

Marielle: Do you mind my asking what's the name of this blood test? And how old are you?
Hope it's not too intrusive.

I had mono in 10th grade, I was really ill for almost an entire year. After my liver-values had returned to normal, I still felt extremely tired, so I went to see my doctor. I had low amounts of b12 and iron, so I got b12 injections, first every week for six weeks, then once a month for three months and then once every six months (I think that I got 12 injections in total)
For me the effect was almost immediate, if i got an injection in the morning, I felt better the same evening... My doctor never investigated further why my levels were so low, and i haven`t gotten shots in about four years. I've been feeling the same kind of fatigue lately, so I started wondering if my low levels were caused by a lack of intrinsic factor (which basically means I need more shots) so I just got back from taking a blood-sample and I'll know next week...

Hope that's of any help :)
