I had the surgery in 2001. I have since moved to the UK and having incredible problems convincing the Drs. here of my need for B-12. They insist that since my levels are showing OK…………I don’t need the shot. One Dr made me wait 2 years until the levels became dangerously low.Â
The problem is the test showing I am OK. Each time I have to convince the Dr. or go without the shot for months to prove it. I suffer something awful, with all the symptoms. When they do finally allow me to have them, it is only once every 3 months. I have since taken to my husband giving me shots with the medicine I get from the Internet. This makes me very angry and upset. After my shot, I am a different person, until the next time. Why won’t they just believe me? I have showed her all kinds of evidence, but none really explain why my levels show “normal” and I am still symptomatic.   Now I have to go fro another blood test as the one Dr. rescind theother Dr’s. order to change it once every 2 months. She has even accused me of being “psychologically” dependent on the drug. Funny, the sores in my mouth and on my tongue, the tiredness, the muscle spasms are not a figment of my imagination.
If you read this, Dr LePort can you help me? Can you send some kind of research to show her that I need it, even though the tests are “normal”.
Thanks for listening-
