Between back pain that won't let me sit close to upright (I have to be almost fully reclined), and absolutely no energy whatsoever, I have begun to feel totally useless; to the point where I have to do something.

I saw part of an infomercial months ago that talked about sub-lingual vit B12 being better than tablets but not as good as B12 injections. That's all I know about vit B12 except it is supposed to help some people regain energy.

Anyway, I realized I had to do something at about 10:00 last night. I could not spend another night wishing I had the energy to write a reply I should have written two weeks ago, so I sent my grandson to Wal-Mart to buy some sublingual B12.

Each dose has 1.7 mg riboflavin; 20mg niacin and; 2mg vit B6, which are equal to 100% of recommended dosage, and; 1,200mcg of B-12, equal to 20,000% of rda.

Does anyone here have experience with vit B12? 20,000% sounds huge but shouldn't be dangerous since its an OTC, so I'm guessing that twice as much would be perfectly safe; even 3x as much, but I don't know.

All I know is that I want something close to the B12 dosage in a standard injection. When I see my doc I plan to ask him to prescribe injectable, but won't see him for another month and don't want to wait that long; I don't have a local doc and couldn't tolerate the pain of an initial visit, so its sublingual B-12 or something better if someone has a better idea.

I really can't lay around like this anymore. not yet anyway. Not while there is anything that might help me get back to work. Who ever heard of being too weak to type?

Soooo, how does 1,200mcg of B12 sound? Close to what I'd get in an injectable? How many mcg would be close to the dosage in an injectable? Is there anything better than sublingual B12?

All suggestions solicited...Vic
