B12? Now I get it!

When my new doctor here in Missouri told me I needed B12.....badly, I thought ok fine.
He gave me a list of vitamins to replenish what having Alpha-Gal had depleted from me and also said
he wanted me to get B12 shots once a month in office.
It took some time but I began to notice an increase in energy stamina. Like working in the yard went from
running out of energy after an hour or so to now working hard (mowing and weed whacking) up to nearly 5 hours at a time.
I even take care of my neighbor's yard now who has to have knee replacement. BTW, I am 73 yrs old.
When he said I need B12 to help with energy, I envisioned like bursts of it. Nope it was a steady increase in stamina
energy. Steady pace, focused and just get it done thing.
The shots are the key over taking just a tab orally. I am glad I went his way and not the route of energy drinks and
water with electrolytes like others advised me to do.
 

When I asked my PCP about B12 shots all she said was 'not yet'.....I see her Friday so I'm going to ask her again.
She started giving my sister shots about 4mos ago and she just raves about how good she feels, despite having heart issues.
 
A couple times in past few years, I've asked about various
shots for minerals, vitamins, whatever, and my doctor refuses
it each time.....so wth, I just quit asking.
no idea, possibly an insurance issue or something, usually everything revolves around insurance rules. My shot costs me a quarter on my new insurance, was free on my old. I just walk in, nurse calls me...10 min I am in/out don't have to see Dr for the shot. I think they like your B12 at 1000. Mine was -89 when I began the shots. Maybe your B12 is already in range. Maybe someone knows the numbers for sure
