I had out-of-range values on a hematology report at the end of Nov. when I had pre-op blood work done. My PA suggested B12 shots, once or twice a week, and then getting retested.
At this clinic they formulate B12 along with other B vitamins and MIC. I spoke briefly to the doctor who formulated it, and she said that the hydroxy and MIC added to the methylated B12 buffers the effect so that people don't get overstimulated.
Per ML:
If any of you have had B12 shots, how long did it take you to feel an effect?
I don't quite understand how a shot of B12 can last for days, enough so that with this particular formulation, only 1 or 2 shots a week are required.
I asked my PA if patients who get the shots continue to take their usual supplemental B12. I have taken a sublingual and a transdermal form for years. She said I'd need to see how it goes and that some patients can stop their usual B12 supplements while others need to continue.
I'm lucky there are good MTHFR literate practitioners in Austin. If this shot doesn't work out for me, I go to another doctor who has a less potent form of B12 shots for daily use. I'd much rather do it once or twice a week rather than daily.
Thanks
