Tomorrow will be my first week on semaglutide, and honestly it has been an incredible change
Advantages of oral form over IM injection: Less nursing time on injections Less complexity of care Less discomfort/pain Less bleeding in patients who take anticoagulants Less costly according to some analyses Disadvantages of oral form over IM injection:: Greater risk of non-compliance In 1991, a survey done on Minneapolis internists led one commentary to conclude that oral vitamin B 12 replacement for pernicious anemia was one of medicines best kept secret. 18 In 1996, when the survey was repeated again in the same area, awareness and use of oral vitamin B 12 for pernicious anemia had increased substantially (019%), but the majority of doctors still remain unaware of this treatment option (61%)
This method is particularly effective for patients who have difficulty absorbing B12 from food or pills due to conditions like pernicious anemia, Crohns disease, celiac disease, or post-gastrointestinal surgery
Red blood cells transport oxygen around your body, providing the fuel your cells need to produce energy
I found a little trick that actually worked with the numbness, after a b12 your potassium level can drop considerably so I ate a banana after my third shot, a pretty big one though not a small one, and my goodness the difference was unbelievable
