B12 Ready...

I am dedicating this post to quite a few friends I have who require B12 injections, like myself. As an individual who suffers from several vitamin deffencies due largely in part to malabsorption, I wanted to provide a quick video, to prove that even spastic individuals like myself like give B12 shots (all to myself of course, no one else).

In lieu of constant B12 sublingual tablet therapy, I've opted to do monthly B12 injections. Based on how low your levels are and what is causing the deficiency, you may need to inject B12 more or less than me. But I was squeamish with needles up until about a year ago.

1.) Sterilize chosen area with alcohol (your thigh or buttock is best, as they are the fattiest places and recover faster bruise less than other injection sites.

2.) Load the syringe with B12 solution (a bright red color which you can see post- injection. THIS IS NOT BLOOD).

3.) Ensure there are no bubbles in the syringe, by tapping it and re-inserting/taking out liquid if requisite.

4.) Quickly and as adeptly as you can, stick the sterile syringe into the designated, sterilized area and release the full dosage of B12.

5.) If needed, wipe away any red solution left over, and place a Band Aid over the injection site.

6.) Ensure, with a doctor's assistance if necessary, that needles are disposed of in an appropriate, Bio Hazardous Waste way.

7.) Look into this option, because it is easy and can save you a lot of money in co-pays.

Peace, Love and Confidence,
