The benefit

so I recently had to start taking B12 shots. It's a enhancement I just wanna learn more about it if anyone's ever had to take these or knows any of the extra benefits or has any information I would like to be informed if not, that's OK too. I'm just reaching outI'm taking it for the benefit of Amia and I was told I would have to take it for the rest of my life. I only had a conversation with someone about it once, so I'm kind of still curious about it

I used to do B-12 shots once a week, for a few months, at my doctor's office. It's in your hip/butt, right? But I had/have a chronic illness that drained all my energy.

B-12 is an energy vitamin. You would probably be feeling a burst of extra energy from the shots. Mine only lasted about 2 days of more energy.

I take 1500 mcgs orally each day now. (Micrograms, not milligrams). No more shots.

BUT, make sure all of this is done under a doctor's supervision. You can get TOO much B-12 and that is BAD. Even when I was taking the vitamin B-12 pills, I was taking 3000 mcgs a day, and it showed up on a blood test that I had way too much B-12 in my system. So my doctor had me cut it to 1500 mcgs a day, which seems to be okay for now.

Please check with your doctor and do this under their supervision. Too many people take supplements and don't realize the possible dangers, Not saying YOU, but I have read stuff on here of people taking vitamins and supplements with no idea what they are doing. Again, not you.

    I haven't written in my diary on my computer since May because I thought that my computer was dying.  I got away from writing but my computer is hanging in there.  I think that I will start writing in it again.  It's so therapeutic.

    First, I hope everyone is doing well, and continuing to fight that good fight! Keep up the great work on yourselves; I'm rooting for all of you!So, I started doing therapy at the beginning of the year, when I was in my most depressed state, but with my therapist, I made big changes and steps in the right direction. But, over a month ago, she couldn't take my insurance anymore, and I had to stop...
