Hi, I have anemia, but mine is cause from kidney disease. I am actually going today for my Iron infusion. I just finished 4 weeks of it, and found out that my iron levels still were too low, so I'm now going for another four weeks.
They checked my b12, and so far it's okay. But they may have you give yourself shots, and will no doubt have you do labs often. Any kind of anemia is no fun. I have to give myself ProCrit injections so that the Iron infusions will absorb into my body.
I didn't think I'd be able to give myself shots, but I've gotten pretty good at it. So you may surprise yourself as well.
Did they say what caused you B12 problem?
I wish you well, and I'm curious as to what they'll do for you.
Love Lizzie
