@ToniBenno94 Unless you waited that four months before retesting, that 1,500 is inaccurate. Why don't doctors know this?!

MY doctor, fortunately, knew this, that's how I learned but he was a one-off.

[Leah Lee @PerniciousAnem1]

Doctors will tell you that 7 loading doses & 1x/month B12 injections will be enough to treat your #PerniciousAnemia.

But it's a🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥🤥

It's not nearly enough & if you follow these guidelines, you'll risk permanent injury or death.

This needs to change.

Medical error is the third leading cause of death

I lost my grandmother recently because of it

Overprescribed meds so her liver gave out

We need to change this

You're not broken & helpless. You're healing and growing. #chronicillness #perniciousanemia #spoonie

It's the pain and torture I've experienced.

All the memories made at events I had to miss.

It's the time, energy, and emotion my illness has taken from me that I'll get back.

What I mean when I say I'm "grieving" living with #chronicillness:

The loss of the person I was before I got sick.

Every friendship I had to let go of.

It's the loss of the future I've designed for myself.

⚠️ #methylcobalamin injection info⚠️

It's key to supplement adenosylcobalamin with methylcobalamin bc methyl won't convert to adeno by itself & the body NEEDS BOTH forms of cobalamin.

Cyano & hydroxo convert into both methyl & adeno IN the body #perniciousanemia #b12deficiency

If you're comfortable being alone, congratulations, you figured it out.

It isn’t very pleasant when I go out in public and the public is there. #mondaythoughts

Fellow PAers, let’s claim the #b12hoez as ours.

I don’t know about you, but I’d do anything for that hit💉
