pernicious anemia..monthly injections, fortnight later am feeling tired beyond. can I buy injections on web?
Question:
Answers:
In pernicious anemia, your stomach cells do not secrete adequate Intrinsic Factor (IF) to transport Vit. B12 from digested red meat into your intestine blood vessels. So, your body lacks Vit. B12 and you must take shots of Vit B12 so that your red blood cells (RBCs) can be formed to carry oxygen to bodily tissues. Without Oxygen your bodily cells, you have a lack of oxidation process that is needed for energy formation (that's why you are tired!!). You can try taking sublingual (under tongue) Vit. B12 and see. May be eat more red meat if you are a vegeterian. I don't think that you can buy Vit B12 on the Web for self injections. Best wishes.
Other Answers:
NO! Please don't try to buy injections on the web. You have no idea what you might get that way. If you're exhausted a fortnight after your monthly injection, talk to your doctor about it. Maybe there's something more going on, besides the pernicious anemia.
Good luck.
The doses of B12 for pernicious anemia are so small...even if you could buy it on the internet, it's not a good idea to self medicate. You might wind up overdosing. Just talk to your doctor and explain that you are still feeling tired. He probably will be able to increase your dosage or frequency of injections.
it was in the news this week if u buy meds on the net you are asking for trouble...thats what it said!
Call your doctor you may need blood or iron injections with B-12.
Hey...this is not something you should mess with. Get a grip, stop looking for snake oil salesmen. See your doctor. See another doctor is you have to but stick to the expects if you value your life.. Keep trying, good luck.
If you could (and you probably can!) I most certainly wouldn't.
