I am feeling great! Finally I have turned the corner. For all of you who are just starting with your journey of pernicious anemia, it gets better. You have to listen to your body and you have to take weekly injections until you get better. My Doctors orignally told me to take it monthly. No way. I took my injections 3-4 days. This was because i was using the Cyanin Coblumin.. that onlly lasts in your blood stream for 3 days. After i got onto the Methyl, and on the sublingual (b12 under the tongue daily) i have returned back to myself I take Carafate as well. My life is back.. Have hope.

You may have a genetic failure to methylate B vitamins. Folate is involved too. That is why the methyl B12 is working for you better. Many people have this, not just celiac patients.
Just keep in mind that you will probably have to use the oral methylcobalamin for life. Don't get "smug" and think you can now get by without it. That could just push you into a relapse!
This happens to many people....who think they are "cured" when they are not. If you have the MTHFR polymorphism you will need activated methyl B12 and methylfolate for life. This can be tested for with a DNA test... about $125.
