B12 Injections

[Vagus]

Are surgeries still doing them?
Has anyone had one done since lockdown?

[bednobs]

1) yes
2) no

[Vagus]

Ok, thanks Bednobs.
Seems some surgeries aren’t doing them, will have to wait and see if ours is.

My husband had his done Monday morning, but had to sit on chair outside the surgery.

Did they jab him outside or call him in Patsy?

Outside. He first went into surgery, where there is a barrier for people to stand behind, and receptionist/assistant, asked if he had phone call from nurse. He said he hadn't. She was panicking a bit and went and had word with nurse, who told her he could walk around to back of surgery, where a chair was waiting..

I read that Chris, which was why I was wondering if anyone had actually had theirs done.
Thanks Patsy.

Did wonder if they were still available. We can buy B12 tablets, I suppose.

[Vagus]

If you can’t absorb B12 through your gut then tablets are no use, you need the injections.

I had mine on the 3rd April at the surgery.
