I had blood tests done to confirm I infact have low b12 and low folic acid I've been put on folic acid tablets and I've had the 7 b12 injections in 2 weeks

It's been 3 weeks since my last injection and not supposed to have another till April now

But in exhausted I normally work out as I have my own gym but I can't do it my legs feel so weak

I'm getting headaches I'm feeling lazy cuz I don't wanna do anything for my baby nothing cuz I'm so tired sad

How are we supposed to go 3 months if after 3 weeks I'm weak again?

Please help someone ?

I'm feeling really emotional

    Hi Natasha I had a similar experience to you and it took me a very, very long time to convince the GP that I needed the injections more often.  I now have my injections every 8 weeks and feel much better for it.  You need to keep trying.  The Pernicious Anemia Society have a good website which will help.  Do try it.
