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

Hi! Thanks for responding. Yes they have started me on B12 shots already. Its just confusing because the symptoms of pernicious anemia and MG are almost exactly the same and I can't help but wonder if it has been a wrong diagnosis. I guess I wont know until I go back to my neurologist. I was antibody positive for pernicious anemia but negative for MG and diagosed with a single fiber emg, plus a very enlarge thymus that was removed. Oh well, thanks again. I do hope that you are feeling better as well. I will keep in touch and hope that you do the same. Take care.
