Patient's Query
Hi doctor,
I have low levels of vitamin B12. I have to take vitamin B12. Every time, when I take them, I get a terrible spine pain, and I feel very tired. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com. Your symptoms are related to vitamin B12 adverse effects. I would like to know your vitamin B12 plasma levels. You can take it as an injection once a month.

Thank you doctor,
My vitamin B12 plasma level is 191 ng/L. I have taken Jamieson 1000 mcg sublingual.
Hi,
Welcome back to icliniq.com. I recommend a muscular injection of 1000 mcg every month. This type of administration is invasive. But it shows a little side effect, and it is better absorbed when compared to the sublingual form.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
