Hi @Riverview Thank you for posting all the updates and it sounds like you are adapting well to your new treatment!
I have also been getting Methyl B-12 injections 3x/wk at home (prescribed by my Dr from a compounding pharmacy) and they are not painful at all so it was interesting when the nurse told you they were "Infused with oil." Maybe the ones in Belgium are different than those in the U.S.?
I have had three shots total so far and my only side effect is that a tiny part of my arm turns red/pink from the dye in the B-12 right where I had the injection but by the next day it is gone. I called the pharmacist and he said this is common and not to worry about it.
