I am done being treated with abx for lyme (did 9 months of IV and some other oral abx). I still have significant pain in my feet and hands which I think is neuropathy. Thought I would try B12 injections. Oral methycobalamin and benfotiamin seem to be helping some.
I was wondering if anyone knows of a phamarcy that sells methycobalamin (B12) injections. Or of a pharmacy that gives a good price on regular B12 injections. Thanks

Try calling Wellness Pharmacy in Alabama. They are good because they don't use preservatives. You will need a script from a doc.

Injections weren't bad. I quit because my entire body was filled with bruises. I looked like a drug addict shooting up and that's not what I need! I think my LLMD prescribed the wrong needle size.

I get mine from Vintage Pharmacy (compounding) The Villages, Florida 352-751-6895 Yes, I do bruise big time! I prefer putting them in my belly; too old for bikinis and it does not show. The diabetic syringes are painless and hold the right amount.

I use Hopewell Pharm. in NJ.
Wherever you get them from, make sure to ask for no preservatives added.
