B-!2 deficiency sounds like the correct cause for that pain

Posted , 2 users are following.

I have been unable to get my B-12 injection prescription paid for by Aetna since last October 2017.  I've been trying to get by with a multi vitamin with B-12 for the last 4-5 months but my sides have started hurting and it makes since that my B-12 is too low from not getting my monthly injection.  Thank you Lilian 050759 for the info.

    Are you not in the U.K?

    If you have an absorption problem with your stomach the tablets are not likely to be very efficient and it might pay you to buy injections from abroad - e.g. Germany.

    I'm not a medically trained person but have had P.A. for 46 years.

    I wish you well
