    I have a perscription so I get my injections through Women's International.  I think you would need a script to get them.  Unless you can get them in Europe.

    Have you discussed getting your injections more often with your Gp?

      I suggest you join the Pernicious Anemia Society (PASOC) and they will give you the info you want on their forum or pm me and I will give you the info they gave me.  Do you live in the UK?

      You cant buy the injections in the UK but you will get info from pasoc on where to get them.  They are not expensive, less thn £1 each for 10 plus p&p.

      it is so sad that we arent treated as individuals with PA as it affects us all differently.  I am lucky enough to get mine every six weeks but that only happened when I told my Doc that I would self inject if I had to.

      i hope things work out okay for you.
