In August I was seen by a new GP, recently qualified, I cried to him and I felt he took me seriously he tested for B12 along with other standard blood tests (thyroid, iron etc were all coming back fine). When I got the diagnosis, I felt so much relief, my levels were extremely low and I was immediately given a course of five injections over two weeks
It is important to follow the injection instructions provided by a healthcare provider or pharmacist, as well as any additional instructions that may be provided by the manufacturer of the specific B12 product being used
Deficiencies can occur with medical conditions such as atrophic gastritis (which causes thinning of the stomach lining), pernicious anaemia, Crohns disease, celiac disease, lupus, or other immune system disorders and certain medications
Hence it is found in milk products and meat
