It was no big deal and I had less fatigue after. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pernicious-anemia-or-b12-shots#post-2640484 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 10:43:02 +0000 peachykeen 2640484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had this temporarily but not severe enough to need the shots. My doctor put me on high doses of oral B12 for a while and then a daily "normal" dose once she'd confirmed normal levels via bloodwork. Apparently some people can't absorb the oral B12, so if my levels hadn't come up I would have done shots next.</p> <p>I noticed an almost instantaneous improvement in my fatigue and mental clarity after starting the pills though - it was amazing what a difference they made.</p> <p>Hope you see similar quick results! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pernicious-anemia-or-b12-shots#post-2640482 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 09:53:56 +0000 agold 2640482@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>One of my girlfriends had tests done which indicated she had this type of anemia, but ultimately did not. I don't know much about it, but I hope you get the information you need. Better yet, I hope you don't have it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/pernicious-anemia-or-b12-shots#post-2640417 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 20:18:06 +0000 wheres_c 2640417@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone have any experience with either?<br /> Lab results suggest that I may have it. </p>
