So I went to the doctor the first week in March and found out my vitamin B12 level was very, very low. Infact my Dr. said she has never had a patient with a lvl this low. So, to build me up I could :
1. Come in every Tuesday for the next 5 (doctor gave me a shot in the office or it would have been 6) weeks for an injection.
2. Do it myself
3. Get a friend/relative to do it.
I did not want to go to the doctor every week and I did not want a friend of ours to do it, So, I said I would try, I think I could do it. The doctor said if I really couldn't do it, to come in, someone would give it to you.
I watched video's on Youtube on how to do it since the only thing the doctor told me was...not to go in on an angle and it is not that hard.
On Tuesday, the hardest part was getting all the medication into the needle. That took a few tries. I am not afraid of needles, but when I get a shot, I have to look away, I don't like to watch. So this was a little challenging. But I did a great job.
On Tuesday I will inject on my other leg. I do this 4 more weeks and go back to her in June for lab and I will be probably be put on B12 pills.
I am very proud that I did do this, I still can't believe I did it. lol
It was also appropriate that I did it on March 15th, the Ides of March. You should know what day this is, if not look it up.
So, if anyone needs an injection, I can do it for you :)
