How long before I feel better?

Obviously I know no one can give me an exact answer, but I’d be interested to hear any experiences.

I feel like a bag of crap. I normally have b12 injections every three months, but the doctor isn’t doing them at the moment and has said to take tablets instead. My last injection was in January and I feel horrific. I’ve been taking the tablets for a month now and I still don’t feel great. My hair’s falling out and I can barely get off the settee. I also take vitamin D and iron.

Anyone had a similar experience? Any hope of when I’ll feel less shit?

I top up my 3 monthly injections with b12 patches bought of Amazon. Couple of days to feel a bit better, and I also take collagen tablets for my hair.
Hope you feel better soon.

Thanks @ThreeFish, I’ll have a look at those and the collagen 👍🏻

Hope they help you, Mrs.
I've been fortunate that my Dr has kept up the three monthly injections but I can feel myself getting low after about 8 weeks.
