My diagram with all the things I did in case it helps anyone else . I did self inject b12 and B1 every other day, but I’m not promoting this as self injecting carries risk . I also won’t be able to answer any questions about doing this as it’s not under nice guidelines 1/

And they’re in lies the problem. The rest of us can’t get access to this because it’s against nice guidelines.

I was off work and living in Spain whilst unwell when I devised this - nice guidelines only apply in the UK. Plus they are a guideline only. Some private experts in the UK now recommend B12 injections. As a patient I found the Facebook group “ vitamin b12 wake up” very useful.

Yes but I’m in the UK, and find NICE guidelines to be a pain in the ass, even privately most still stick to them. Can’t get anyone to recognise or treat my low testosterone because it’s only treated for low libido, can’t get progesterone tested during two week wait of IVF. Etc.

Drs are getting increasingly worried about being sued and sticking to nice guidelines is like a layer of protection I guess. I ended up travelling to Germany from Spain to get treatment for LC.
