When B12 is low & oral/sublingual supplements are recommended, it's crucial to follow up with retesting. If a person isn't absorbing B12, they might need injections. #vitaminB12anemia #perniciousanemia

Any other #PerniciousAnemia sufferers around?

I used to get my #B12 jabs every few months just by making an appointment with the nurse. My new surgery has told me I need to go get it from a pharmacy first with a prescription.

I’ve never had to pay for it before. Is this is just how it is now?

@heydon shit, that sucks!

Among my fellow #perniciousAnemia / #B12 #spoonies, there are warnings that Covid depletes B12.

Orthostatic tachycardia, loss of taste/smell, cardiovascular problems, and brain fog are symptoms of both.

If you haven’t supplemented in B12 in the last 4 months and feel like shot coming out of it, ask to test your levels. If you have supplemented the test will be inaccurate for up to 4 months.

@hjames thanks. The uphill battle of educating doctors about my family’s #perniciousAnemia has been a lot.
