Advice & Tips
Use aseptic technique to prevent contamination of vials expecially if they are month long multi dose vials. If you have chemical sensitivities, get your injectable vitamins professionally compounded without preservatives which can cause allergy. Abrams Royal Pharmacy in Dallas works with out of state patients like me a reasonable cost. Rotate injection sites. Most people are deficient in B 12. It protects the nervous system and is one of my most important treatments.

Advice & Tips
For me, it seems to really work on sensitive symptoms and it looks like to have a benefit in overall health: I feel like having the best time of my life! For the first time in my life it seems that the numbness and tingling that I had since I was 15 years old are disapearing. Vitamin B12 doesn´t have any side effects, it just have benefits because its almost impossible to have a overdose of it! So if you have MS and sensitive issues, why don't you give a try on B12 injections? It's a win-win :)

Advice & Tips
I stopped taking it when I started on the Copaxone, my Dr. sure if there would be a conflict between the B-12, LDN, also gama globulin shots. I felt great on those but stopped when I let the Neuro talk me into trying the Copaxone. I started up on the B-12 again 2 mo. after stopping the Coppaxone. Now I think I have developed an ammunity to it so I decided to stop for a few months to see what happens.because the fatigue has hit pretty hard again about 4 months ago.
