B12 - OT with a question..

*Mrs.J.2011* · #1 June 11th, 2010, 04:41 PM

So on top of being recently dx'd with Fibromyalgia (which is often confused with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome).. I had been really really tired lately. I'm talking home from work at 5:30pm in bed by 6:30pm asleep til 6:30am.. I asked my NP Rheumatologist (who I work for) if she would check my B12 level.. the normal is between 200 -1100.. mine AFTER taking a prenatal vitamin was only 363! So she suggested I take a sublingual B12 supplement in addition to my prenatal.

She didnt have a specific brand to suggest but I didnt know if any of you take a B12 supplement.

If so do you take a sublingual? She suggested this because its absorbed easier by the body.

I was told taking tablets wouldnt effect me, I need to injected directly into my blood stream as my body cant get it from foods and things

I found some! I went to CVS and looked to see what they had and then went to walmart to compare. They were $8.99 at CVS.. the EXACT same tablets were $4.00 at walmart! Im glad I compared! They are cherry flavored and just stay under your tongue for 30 seconds. I'm going to have her recheck my b12 at the end of July when I go for my next appt so we will see if they work!
