I know that there is a test to measure the level of B but however I don't have this test where I live. More than 2 weeks,I was prescribed B injectios every 3rd day. I took the first three and was extremely highly energetic and could run errands I have recently not been able to do. Afterwards, I got a nasty cold and stopped the injections. After a week, I resumed the injections but after fatigue has hit. I took the last two injections but nothing changed. When I saw my GI lately to discuss my rectal problem, he said I have to take more 5 injections and see him. I don't feel any progress and fatigue and weakness are still there. Am I rushing things and acting impatiently? Before I had to take more than 12 injections to feel better but this time I don't.
Your replies are highly appreciated.

I follow part of that about the injections,Your body is not absorbing and storing the B 12 , 9, 6. I myself can't stand the site of needles. I was told to get the injections, was taking Remicade and memory was falling down, Bad. The B 12 test is part of a blood test. At least that's how mine was tested. Just for Grins and Giggles I looked at the Stacker equivalent of 5 Hour energy. Dollar General. well they are high dose of B12 and B6, sure made a difference to me, mainly focus and return of energy. B complex vitamins as I understand them are water soluble and what you don't need gets passed. I reported this to the GI and he wants the shots. I think I'd rather be shot, I hate needles. Plus the time it takes to get the lousy shots. I also dislike the long time between appointments. I was supposed to start Humaria, but I really think thats a fantacy. have not seen the stuff yet. Been getting acquainted with my buddy pain again. no meds heading into week 11.
Currently I'm trying B-6 and B-12s once a day. I hate needles. Did i mention that? :)

Question Everything, thank you very much. Well, yes, you mentioned your fear of needles only 3 times wink this does not mean at all that you fear them.
Today, I browsed the net looking for vitamin b deficiency symptoms and to my surprise all apply to me. However, it was mentioned that one should start to feel better after the 6th injection. Today is time of my 7th shot and I don't feel any better.
I know that Nexium interferes w vitamin b absorption and so does Crohn's but i can't live in fatigue and weakness all my life sad
