Yep me – been having injections for about 15 years now. Originally after loading dose I was on an injection every 12 weeks but I was getting symptoms still so I went to a specialist who advised my GP to switch me to every 8 weeks.

Now I have asked for them to be more frequent but so far the docs have resisted. I am also low on folate currently and taking folic acid so hoping that will help with my symptoms once levels are back up.

Injections don’t really hurt, sting maybe and I get a dead arm type feeling for a few mins afterwards.
