Thank you!! I've been putting off my shot for over a month, and finally did it today. The stretching of the skin and scratching was a super helpful tip. Seriously, I'm deathly afraid of needles, if I was able to do it, so can you. Believe it!!
hi how often should I get them? it’s ok just my local place charge like £150, so quite expensive but i’m desperate to get more energy again & my life back
You have no idea what you did for me today. This video gave me the reassurance I needed. I’d never been afraid of needles but injecting oneself is a whole different story. Your video gave me the peace I was looking for and I followed your instructions and did everything along with you. Super success!!!!! Extremely grateful to you.
The best tutorial for giving oneself an injection! The others I’ve watched scared me to death . I appreciate you being so calm as it definitely calmed me down . Thanks so much !
I just watched this to give me the moral support I needed to inject myself for the first time. Thank you for the "fingernail scratch" idea - it was the mental distraction I needed, and I barely felt a thing!
Thank you. The hardest part is just doing it the first time. Once you've done it, it's not as bad as you thought it would be. Thank you for your video. Seeing you do it motivated me to do it.
Thank you. My husband unexpectedly died in May and, even though the nurses have shown me twice, I had trouble with this. Did it just fine after watching this video. ❤
I DID IT!!!! Thank you, Laurie and all of you that commented with supportive, encouraging testimonies! I didn't realize how nervous I was until it came down to it. Ahh. . .relief. No pain at all. It was just in my head!

@@vanessafinlayFor the muscular shot for the Vit. B12 that I used from the pharmacy (doctor Rx) the syringe was 3mL and 23 gauge. I have also given myself daily B12 injections with a much smaller insulin syringe with B12 that I ordered via mail. These were micro doses that I did for about one month. I used Cyanocobalamin from the doctor's Rx with the once a month injection and larger intramuscular needle; used methylcobalamin with the insulin needle daily (it's more subcutaneous with the shorter needle). The insulin syringe was 31 gauge x 5/16" -- 0.3mL
This video is amazing!!!! I have been so shaky and scared to do my own but following step by step, ESPECIALLY THE SCRATCHING TO DISTRACT!!! GENIUS!! Thank you for doing this!

I've been putting off beginning my self-injections because I thought I'd be giving 'em in my stomach, like before (30 years ago, wow) but no it's to go in my leg/top of thigh exactly as you demonstrate--- and the needle, goodness but it's LONG. For nearly a month I've put this day off-- trying to find someone who would give me the injection or at least show me how... and during that time my lessening of energy, my headaches, etc have worsened. I am so grateful Laurie---super super grateful.
First time giving my own b12 shots I was going to the clinic weekly to have them administered it. I told them I would do it and got over my fear. Literally no pain at all! The nurse did tell me to administer it in my thigh. Watching this video gave me the courage to do it and didn’t feel anything at all 😊😊
Thank you. I'm supposed to do my first one tomorrow. I thought I HAD to do it in my upper arm, because that's where my Doctor injected the first one.. I've been trying to figure out how on earth I was going to manage that by myself, so I'm glad I saw this. Great advice. Thank you!
this seriously was so amazingly helpful. feels a little sore after doing mine but it’s my first and i was a little nervous. honestly not bad at all. the scratching totally helps and the accomplishment you feel after is so worth it. if you see this comment. you can DO IT! i’m so anxious to see if this will help my fatigue
Thank you SO MUCH. Several OTHER videos DO NOT SHOW basic detail we don't know (when we're not in the med field). Showing us all the detail helps! I'm B12 deficient and delayed shots too long cause I tried and didn't know how to give a shot. THANKS LAURIE!!!
No to genius she just sanitized the skin and scratched her leg with her dirty finger nail contaminating her injection site. I’m a Ret.Nurse and give myself B-12 injection for years and I use my left hip. I load the syringe with my right hand and sanitize the area on my left hip and inject the B-12 it’s really easy and it’s best to give B-12 injections in the hip anyway
Thank you for this video. I have to start giving myself shots and was freaking myself out over it. The scratching did help as I didn't feel needle at all. Tomorrow will be better!
I'm T1D but the IM needle definitely gives me the heebie-jeebies. I watch your video every single time I give myself a b12 shot and it really helps. Thank you!
Thank you!! Thank you!! Absolutely painless & no discomfort after the injection. This has completely cured my anxiety that I deal with leading up to giving myself a shot.
This was super helpful, thanks! I love the distraction. I may pluck up the courage in a moment to do it. Anyone watching from the UK, Dr Myhill sells B12 in her store.
I’ve done many injections in the ventroglute (hip) I find it to be the easiest spot, and pain free. You can also draw back on the full syringe and replace with a new sharp needle of a smaller gauge. 30 works. Just twist the old one off. It will be dulled from the rubber stopper
Thank you! Needle and vial looked just like mine. I flubbed and wasted my first solo shot after the nurse discharged me. Not again! I’ll probably watch this next month just to be sure. Zero issues!
This is the BEST tutorial - thank you so much! I've always had my husband give me my shots, but I told myself I needed to learn to do it myself bc he would always hurt me. Your video is the only one I could find that actually made sense!! Thank you so much!
hi how often should I get them? it’s ok just my local place charge like £150, so quite expensive but i’m desperate to get more energy again & my life back
@TheCurtisdavies You need to discuss that with your doctor, but I take a shot every 2 weeks. I am thankful my insurance covers most of the cost. For me, B12 injections are a necessity. My body does not naturally absorb B12, and it causes me numerous health problems if I dont get the injections. If it isn't a real necessity, that could be why insurance doesn't cover it. I dont know your situation or the type of insurance you have, but best of luck to you.
Thank you! Great technique. I will really try. I don't know what it is. I'm in the medical field and can do almost anything...except give myself a shot! O.o
Glad i watched I've always used my arm and think about 20 times before stabbing myself. Today I did it her way, didn't spll and B12 and did iin the thigh and moved my finger and I didn't even feel the needle go in.. LOVE IT! Thanks!!
Thank you for the film. I have had the base dosage of 6 shots and the next one in June 2024 I am expected to do it myself. So I am very grateful for your guidance video. I alread inject insulin but the B12 syringe is at least 5 X longer. Reticent doesn't cover what I am feeling.
Let me just say that while this gave me the courage to give myself a shot in the top of my thigh, it hurt like a son-of-a-gun! And bled quite a lot! So I must of hit a nerve and possibly an artery? I'm not sure. Now I'm not nearly as confident about doing this again, but I need to be. Because my arms, especially at my elbows are cold and asleep when I awaken in the morning. I survived the shot and didn't seek any medical attention. The bleeding stopped about 3 min afterwards. The pain is about 70% better and it's been 5 1/2 hours. Still not as bad as when the nurse hit my sciatic nerve giving me a B12 shot in the hip, so professionals are not always the better route. Phlebotomists certainly can't seem to draw blood worth a darn these days and they have bruised myself and my mother and it hurts us quite badly. I think I will have my husband give me the next one and then hope to be brave enough to give it to myself again. He says it hurts him when he does it to himself, so that is why I wanted to learn, especially since all the new latest and greatest prescriptions are now injectable, like the one my husband and a friend of mine have just been prescribed. Some additional suggestions. Try to get as much air out of the needle as possible. This video by the VA ruclips.net/video/fMEZdNodGM0/видео.html shows at 2:26 seconds, exactly where your muscle in your leg and hip are and if giving in the thigh it is best to go off to the side just a bit and not directly on top of your leg. At 4 min on the VA video it shows how to best get the air out of the needle which IS IMPORTANT! Despite all the pain and blood I'm still glad I watched this video and got the courage to do it myself. I WILL try again, just a little differently. Thank you for this video and best wishes to everyone that needs shots to maintain their health and well-being.
Thanks for the video. It helped tremendously. I gave myself a shot and now my tummy hurts a little bit. Did I do something wrong? It did take me a a minute of two to get the B12 in the syringe because I didn’t have the needle in the liquid. But I got it done.
The information about the pressurized bottle was good, haven't seen that info before. It's difficult to see the needle injection and injection site, which is what scares and confuses most people. How far do you push in the needle in before injecting? Do you push the needle all the way in? What about pulling back on the syringe to see if there's blood coming out (some people do this, viewers don't know why).
Thank you. I'll be giving myself injections and I'm a little nervous. Seems painful unlike prefilled injections. I may be wrong but your video was helpful and I'm going to try your technique to administer my injections.
Wow thank you. I did it right other than getting it out of the bottle. As I was searching I see ppl buy this without a prescription is there a differnce?
😢 thank you do much i could cry right now i hate needles and now i have to give myself B12 once a month for the rest of my life 😢 and struggled to do the shot and this video made me strong enough to do it thank you you literally saved my life because if not i will suffer blood clots 🩸🩸🩸 this shot will help me not get any more this will prevent bad blood cells from forming 💉😇
very helpful. but how on earth did you poke it into your skin for the very first time? I can't fathom doing this. Does it hurt? How far do you need to push in the needle?
Does the needle go all the way in? Like 100% if the needle? All the way to the hilt? Do I push the plunger in and release all the b12 when needle is all the way in or do I release it a little bit as I’m pulling it out? I’m terrified to do my own shots!!….. I’m not scared if needles , but I cannot seem to do this… I’m getting my courage up… what if I panic and break the needle? I’m sweating bullets just thinking about it….. thanks. (Signed not a baby but maybe toddler-ish? At 50 yrs old 🤣🤣)
Thank you for this video, because I would have done it in the belly....but this is wrong, right? Another question, how often you do it, sheb you have fibromyalgy?
The belly is good if you are giving a subcutaneous injection. She is doing an IM - even thin folks have some belly fat so you need a much longer needle to get down to a muscle. This is an easy muscle to get to for most people.

Your video gave me the peace I was looking for and I followed your instructions and did everything along with you. Super success!!!!! Extremely grateful to you.
Thanks for explaining how to get the medicine to draw up into the syringe. You're the only video I've checked that explained that! Much appreciated.🙂
Thanks for this video. Its been awhile since I had to give an injection 💉

Did he die because of this injection?
So sorry for your terrible loss! I’m sure he would be proud of you continuing to do it for yourself!
What does that have to do with anything? Or is he the one who used to give you the shots?
Sorry for your loss! My partner gives me all my shots too. It is hard to learn on your own!
Sorry for your loss.
