A few weeks ago there was a nice discussion re: magnesium.(i'm referring to oral suppliments)
Marnie, if you are out there, you had soem interesting comments. I'd love your input and anyone elses. Specfiically , you disussed muscle weakness and magnesium. The way I understood it, magnesium RELAXes muscles. so, would it still be good for those of us that are experiencing muscle weakness to specific muscle group and also some muscle wasting? **** B12 (methlecbolimine)
I am goiing to try out these injections. I would like to hear about others experiences or thoughts. My deal is muscle weakness, joint pain and neuropathies, sensory loss, sensory disturbance.
thanks all-
Jif

I have been gettin Methylcobalamine as well as folic acid injections at home for about 6 months. Initially, it was every week. Now it is every 2 weeks. They have helped my neuropathies emensely. My husband gives me the injections. 1cc B12 and 1/2 cc folic acid. he breaks the B12 up into 2 shots for me. Otherwise it seems to hurt. Of course this is preservative fee. The B12 expires in one month and has to be refilled, the folic acid 3 months.

I did the methyl B12 shots for about 6 months. I injected 1 cc daily into my thigh.
For me they weren't that helpful but supposedly they can help with some neuro symptoms and I know I have read about people who have been helped by the injections.
As Debbie said, the methylcobolamin (however you spell that!) has a short shelf life but I used up every month so this wasn't an issue for me.
Good luck.

I've had both mag & B12 injections (methylcobalamin).
the B12 is easy to administer -causes no pain BUT i found it didnt really help me. however everyone seems to respond differently
the mag injections are my lifesaver -couldnt live without them -i have 3 per week. resolves most of my neuro symptoms, reduces pain & strengthens my muscles to be able to get out & about & exercise -without them i'd be completely bedbound. they do however cause a bee sting like feeling when injecting & can leave temporary lump but this goes away with massaging the site.

i too have all the above symptoms & i find mag helps most with muscle weakness & helps nerve function so you get a feeling of improved circulation & overall more energy!!
try them out see how you respond Posts: 83 | From UK | Registered: Oct 2005
