I haven't seen this topic on the forum. Does anyone have to take b12 shots monthly in addition to the Vitamins that they take?

I have to take B complex 3x a day, 2 Calcium citrate a day, and 2 multi Vitamin a day, plus a B12 shot 1x a month.

When it is time for my shot i'm so tired I can't get up. 12 hours after the shot i'm fine. So far I was able to get the surgeon office to give it to me. I'm a wimp when it comes to given myself needles. I've given my dad his insulin, but I don't have the nerve to give it to myself. I asked my primary care if she would do it, and she said yes. When it was time she made me go for a blood test and sent for records from the surgeons office. In the mean time I couldn't walk across the house without being wiped out. Finally I asked my friend who is a vet tech and has been giving intra muscular shots for ever to give it to me yesterday. Today i'm back to myself. Does anyone else have this problem?

Hmmm...I was diagnosed with fatty liver also but they didn't put my on B12 shots. How often do you have them and what's the dosage? Maybe I will have to be more vigilant about taking them.

The surgeon prescribed cyanocobalamin 1,000mcg inject monthly. The pcp gave me Nascobal nasal spay 1 spray one nostril 1x a week. It is cyanocobalamin 500mcg a week.

From what I have read the FLD makes us very tired and the B12 helps with energy. By the time I'm ready for the next shot I can't walk across the house. I've started using the spay this week. I was feeling like a toy that needed to be cracked up. I took the spray and in about an hours I felt better againl.

The gastoenterologist that she is sending me to is supposed to be very open minded. I'm hoping that he can tell me about a diet that is good for FLD. My insulin level was higher than its been, but my cholesterol was good. It seems the only way i'm getting myself to lose the weight is to have Protein shakes or bars for Breakfast and lunch and one meal for dinner. At least with the smaller stomach i'm not ready/can't eat everything in sight.
