@rwinney Thank you I am listening to everyone and so thankful you are all here. I need to do more for myself. I do need more vitamins. I take Vit D daily. I tested low on that. I am also prescribed B12 injections. Since the shutdown I have not had one. A friend was giving me the shot and with not being able to have visitors and me not being instructed as how to do it, I have not been getting one. I have to do better.

Hi @summertime4 Are the B12 injectables not offered at the pharmacy? What is stopping you from self injecting? Maybe there is a chance you can do it on your own. The injection is given subcutaneously meaning injected in the fat tissue. There are visible sites for you. If possible self inject otherwise call the doctor who prescribed it and let him or her decide on alternates you may have.

@summertime4 Oh yes, please grab B12 supplements (pill form) from any pharmacy and at least get that in. You can ask your Neurologist or PCP to advise on dosing equivalent to your injection. I received bi-weekly b12 injections for 4 months before regulating then my neuro agreed to pill form.
PS: CVS will now deliver too.
