Did the B12 shots help you @A MyFibroTeam Member?

I have b12 deficiency also, pernicious anemia. Although I'm not anemic.
I get B12 shots every 3 months. Not tried patches but I do use an oral spray. That way it goes straight into your bloodstream as with pernicious anemia the enzymes in your stomach cannot absorb b12 from foods which is also why taking b12 in a tablet form is useless. I'd ask your doctor to start giving you shots because they're much better.
Did you know that when your b12 deficient it causes muscle aches?
