Delayed diagnosis has left me with problems,my Doctor thought my symptoms were to do with my underactive Thyroid.Feel I need B12 injections 2 monthly..I work as a Nurse+when I get fatigued,it hard going.

But i got a letter from my gp practise. They are so sorry that this has happened to me, but they have done some training now, so it wont happen to anyone else.......that made it alllll better. Not.
American Academy of Neurology: People with inflammatory bowel disease may also be at risk for developing nerve damage and other neurological problems, according to research that will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology’s 59th Annual Meeting in Boston, April 28 - May 5, 2007. Inflammatory bowel disease includes digestive disorders such as ulcerative colitis and Crohn’s disease that cause swelling and/or bleeding in the intestines. For the study, researchers compared 103 people with Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis to 51 people with other digestive disorders, such as irritable bowel syndrome, gastritis and chronic heartburn. The researchers found that those with inflammatory bowel disease were about four times more likely to develop neuromuscular conditions, including carpal tunnel syndrome and small fiber neuropathy, which causes pain and lack of feeling in the feet. Those with bowel disease were also more than six times more likely to also have a disorder called sensorimotor polyneuropathy, a nerve disease that can cause weakness, pain, and numbness. These diseases were more common in women with bowel disease than men. “Inflammatory bowel disease patients commonly suffer from several other medical conditions, like B12 deficiency and glucose intolerance. These nerve conditions we have reported are often not diagnosed by their primary care physicians,” said lead study author Francisco De Assis Gondim, MD, MSc, PhD, Professor of the Federal University of Ceará in Ceará, Brazil, and a member of the American Academy of Neurology. “People with inflammatory bowel disease who develop new symptoms, such as pain or numbness in the feet, should see a doctor.”
I am having a difficult time what to do with my life at this point no doctors are aware of the issue in Ethiopia also that no guides for people with autoimmune systems destroying intrinsic factors help me guys
Going along with a patient that simply cannot manage on 3 monthly injections can make a change to the outcome for that patient, When Doctors say ''a little information is a dangerous thing'' can often turn out to be quite the opposite.
@@michellecheatley1214 Yes, if I wanted it but haven't had one in 15 months now, still taking the B12 1000mcg tablet once daily though. Things continue to improve.

Take a daily B12 tablet as well.

I receive my intramuscular injection every 2 weeks. The physician should judge by the patient’s severity and blood test results.

I definitely need them 2 monthly.
I was getting an injection 3 monthly ...and taking a B12 tablet daily. Great result.
