Its funny that you mention B-12 with fibro. I say that because befpre I was diagnosed (maybe about 2 years ago) one of the neurologists said I was losing blood somewhere in my body (just by doing my blood pressure sitting up and laying down) Anyhow I was admitted immediately to the E.R. there at the hospital and they ran several blood tests and other stuff. It came back that supposibly I am B-12 deficient (sp) and that my body seems to absorb the B-12. I was given B-12 injection at the hospital and because I was in the medical field was sent home to do these injections myself. Im sorry I cant remember how often I did these but I know starting out it was an everyday thing. At the same time I developed a nasty rash on my face and neck. I was sent to an allergist who (and I do mean literally) laughed at me for going to him and said How can you be allergic to B-12? And slapped me ith a bill of 92 dollars Yeah I was in disgust. Lucky for me I do my research and it does happen where some people are allergic to the benzoyl in the red dye of the injection. Anyhow I dont take the shots now, no longer go to that neurologist, and have really no clue if he was right or not and they never found me to be losing blood while in the hospital. Oh and did I mention that B-12 is not easy on the wallet? I am curious to know if anyone of you are or have been told you are B-12 deficient? When the world says give up, hope whispers give it one more try... unknown |
