B-12 shots anyone?

I am sooo glad I came across this thread. I have been to the doctor several times complaining of fatigue - falling asleep any time of the day, including while driving **Yikes**, I have been thru a sleep study that did NOT show sleep apnea. I have been battling this for 2+ years and it's a pure miracle that I haven't killed myself or anyone else because of the dozing while driving. No one has offered any help. However, I just had a panel of follow-up labs done the day before Thanksgiving, and it showed that my B12 was low. Because I hadn't been taking my Multivitamin, the dietician suggested I get back on that. I have, but still don't see any difference in the fatigue - even went in the ditch 3 weeks ago (pretty sure I fell asleep). I wonder how I can get someone to try the B12 shots on me??? Or, do you all think the over the counter supplements are just as good?? Thanking you in advance.

For me, the over the counter ones don't help me one iota....I wanted them to but the fact is they don't, on me at least so I quit taking them. I haven't gotten back to my primary doc since I got the first one but my energy level has gotten back to where I think it should be. In fact my husband says he thinks I've got a spring in my butt cuz I never sit still, which is a HUGE change from where I was 50 pounds ago. I would get on the couch when I got home from work and wouldn't move till bedtime. Hope everyone is feeling as great as I am.:frown:

I'm getting my B12 tomorrow. It's a tinge low. I hope it boosts the energy and if it helps towards depression, woohoo to that!
