Why I need to take my Vitamin B12 shots!

Sometimes I make myself so mad, because I will forget something important about my health and I will suffer for it. This time I decided that I was going to blog it and hopefully never forget it.



At different times, two different doctors have put me on Vitamin B12 shots. But I hate needles and avoid them. (Although, I prefer blood testing over a lot of other testing!) The truth is, the doctors are right, I do need the Vitamin B12. Once I start the injections, my symptoms improve and I feel tons better. After a while I think my body stocked up enough and I get this crazy idea that my body will replenish Vitamin B12 without the shots. Because I hate needles so much, I am willing to believe any wild story I tell myself.



Each time I started the Vitamin B12 shots, were because I felt tired, unmotivated, foggy brained, and yucky. This last time it started with my backache that didn't go away. I had it for 5 months. Off and on, I also was having other joint pain in my foot, ankle, and knee. Every x-ray that I have had showed arthritis. I was looking at what I was eating, checking my allergy drops, supplements and nothing was the problem. I was stumped. Each week I was losing more energy and my brain was clouding up. Soon I was in a fog. I prayed and must not have heard God's answer. Looking back, I can now see the many times He had revealed the answer to me. When I started the first shot, I immediately knew that was the answer. The next day, all of my pains went away, I had energy and my mind was clear again. :)

Now to learn to maintain it!!!
