Vitamin B12 deficiency
Due to extreme fatigue and light headiness, I was admitted to hospital and My vitamin B12 was diagnosed very low (65). I took vitamin B12 injections for 5 days then once a week for 4 week. This helped me feel better but post 4th week I had to take it monthly. After 2 weeks I started getting the symptoms again. Now I took it in 3rd week and planning to take it weekly until the symptoms are gone. I'm really worried and unable to get correct advice from the current doctor.
Please suggest the right approach.
