Vit B12 shots

I have one every 3 months .I got called into have mine and they wouldn't do it because they said there had been a mistake- it was 10 days too early .I asked her to double check with a doctor but she wouldn't so I have to go back next week .Would my body really know it was a bit early ? I couldn't see the harm .

  • They called me and said it was due - but they wouldn't do it when I got there !!

  • Thanks Chunk cat but we don't have insurance here in the UK , but I will double check that it's right next time x

  • Ohhhh, you are in the UK! Then no, not insurance. But I'm assuming they have to adhere to treatment protocols like they did when I lived in NZ? They were quite fussy about them from what I remember...

I have a vitamin B12 shot every 3 months too. I notice that I am super energised when I have it and a little tired when the shot is due. They call me when the shot is due

Doctor's offices are often very particular about when they give vitamin/mineral shots/infusions because they don't want to overload the body and have strict protocols to adhere to. Also because often insurance will only pay for them at very specific intervals. A week early could be the difference between it being covered or not. But it is frustrating to go all the way there just to be turned away! I'd call and make them double check the timing next time.
