 by Babycakes1, Apr 21, 2005 12:00AM B12 is a soluable vitamin, should
 be fine. I'm assuming your doctor is giving you the shot?
 
by aecar1, Jun 11, 2005 12:00AM You can ask the nurse at your Dr.'s
office to show you how to give the shot to yourself. I take a B12 shot
weekly and the Dr. said I could do it myself. This way you won't have
to pay them for administering the shot. It's very easy to do. 

by Frenzee, Jun 28, 2005 12:00AM I was wondering which areas's are ok
to give yourself injections? I take monthly injections for about a
year now, and it's always been in the arm, but I'm finding it really
painfulPainful menstrual periods, much more than at firstFirst

Choosing a primary care provider
Ewing’s sarcoma
Family troubles - resources doc is blaming the fact that my hubby (who
gives the shots) doesn't know what he's doing. But on a previous visit
she told me that it didn't matter.
I'm just looking for some other spotsBirthmarks - pigmented
Liver spots
Measles, koplik spots - close-up
Mongolian blue spots I can use, so that each arm has more than a month
to heal.

Any suggestions would be appreciated! 
by imnessa, Jul 10, 2007 08:56PM I have been giving myself B12 shots
everyday for a week now, with no pain or problems. I usually do it in
my leg, but for some reason today it is so painfulPainful menstrual
periods! I tried two different needles and three different places, and
it hurt to much to put in the needle. I finally had my father put it
in at my hip without to much pain. Why would it start hurting so much
now?

by HeatherFeather, Jul 31, 2007 02:28PM Can someone tell me what the
dosage is you get? Some doctors will only do it once a month does
anyone know why that is? 

by HeatherFeather, Jul 31, 2007 02:29PM Has anyone bought the B-12
shots online? If so where? And what dosage? 
by misscloey, Aug 01, 2007 09:52AMTo: all I took B12 shots from a
doctor and also administered myself. I usually prefer it in the upper
hip. I switch sides from week to week. It should not "hurt" but it
sometimes burns. If you are doing it yourself, it is pretty easy, you
just need to be sure that you hit the spot "head on" to avoid
bruising. Good Luck. 

by aunt rachel, Sep 06, 2007 09:50PMTo: all WELL I JUST GOT PUT ON THE
SHOTS AND IM SCARED,, I WAS DIAGNOSED WITH RA AND FLAYMANOAISA AND NOW

injections online through a real dr. at www.mydietsolutions.com. DR.

by simchah, Nov 05, 2007 09:58AM I live in the Towson, MD area. Does
anyone know a dr. around here who does the b-12 shot at a reasonable
price? Thank you 
by nenu, Dec 29, 2007 10:34PMTo: ALL Hi there
i just got my first 12 shot and am looking forward to it's
benefits.....
My daughter admisnsiter me the shot as she has learned to give shot.
She is studying to become a LPN and will be graduating soon ! I must
asmit i was kinda scared of it BUT i find it didn't hurt more than an
ant bite.
I will be administering the shot every day or everyother day !
I bought a 10 vial of b12 for $8.99 it is enough for 5 to 10 days and
in case you are wonderingit is B12 for Humans :)
Wish me luck here 

by chelsea909, Jan 06, 2008 10:12PMTo: MsTxDiva For the past year I
have been taking Phendimetrazine (Phen Phen) you can only get the
prescription from a doctor. I lost 30 pounds in 2 months, and kept it
off. Part of the weekly doctor visits include a B12 shot which really
helps. I can almost feel the energy instantly. I have alot more energy
at the gym too. I now go to the doctors bi-monthly, and if I want a
b-12 shot, i'll either pay the $15 to have the doctor do it, or go to
Trader Joes or Whole Foods and buy either the tablet form (make sure
its the kind you put under your toungue, or the liquid version) for
about $10 for a month supply 
by puff77, Oct 23, 2008 01:40PMTo: anyone Can a small frame,165pd 5'7
woman with the bmi of 26 benefit from B12 shots and or pills. I ve
tried every diet and excerise program and not on e pd lost.

by lrjacobs, May 18, 2009 05:27PMTo: everyone I have been doing B12
shots for a long time. I have prenicious anemia and it is no big deal
to give them to myself. One thing I have discovered is that you have
to really be careful about moving the spot around and try not to get
the same spot more than once a week. it can really cause pain if you
get the same spot too many times. I was getting it from my Dr then I
discovered that it was cheaper on line. My Dr did caution me about not
getting them from Canada. I started with www.mydietsolutions.com but
they stopped selling them. I think it was the shots with the
lipotripics that they had to stop. I found a new place and they are US
based and cheap. It is http://b12shotsonline.com. What I really like
was it comes with a prescription and a sharps container. I take 1cc
once a week.

by mzk334, Aug 24, 2009 10:29PMTo: everyone Can anyone tell me if you
have to be on a special diet or anything while taking the B12
shots..... 
by Dr Vinod, Aug 26, 2009 09:29PMTo: mzk334 Hello!

You can take normal balanced diet with vitamin B12 shots.
Only take vitamin B12 shots if you are prescribed and if you need it.
You can always take proper diet and oral forms for mild problems.

Take care! 
by Mjhance5, Nov 06, 2009 08:56AMTo: Mjhance5 Where is the best place
to give yourself the B12 shot without bruising? My doctor gave it to
my in my thigh and I think she put it in the muscle and it created a
very large awful bruise that lasted 3 weeks, I tried to give it myself
in my outer hip and the bruise was much smaller but still very purple
and lasted 2 weeks. I live in FL and like to go to the beach. I don't
want to look like an abuse victim... Please can anyone advise me how
and where to give myself the shot?? Thanks 

by Dr Vinod, Nov 06, 2009 08:08PMTo: Mjhance5 Hello!
The vitamin B12 shot sure causes some amount of discoloration and
bruise at the site of injection till it is absorbed completely. Try at
other sites like the gluteus or antero lateral side of the thigh.

You can try to take it near an expert a little deeper on the muscle
with good tone and consistency and also make sure to take an allergy
test before getting injected.
Some people as individuals due to the antibody reaction react more to
a foreign body and this depends from individual to individual.

Take care! 
by beecanadian, Feb 10, 2010 10:51PMTo: Irjacobs Why not get it from
Canada? I can assure you there are no problems with our drugs, and, in
fact, it can be bought WITHOUT a prescription here. It is also
probably a lot less expensive. Related discussions
