Has anyone ever discussed the possibility of having B-12 injections to deal with fatigue and brain fog with their gp (where a deficiency is not present or the deficiency may be sub-clinical)? I know this guy who was telling me about his wife being prescribed B-12 injections (in her case, she did have a true deficiency) and how the practioner also advised him to use B-12 when he was experiencing a lot of fatigue and brain fog. He also told me that when his neice came to stay with him and his wife one time, exhausted, both mentally and physically, from travelling, over-work and other things, and was having to go for an interview early the next day, she took a B-12 shot and both her mental and physical fatigue were markedly improved. It is obviously an unconventional practice, but I wonder if a patient could make a compelling arguement to their gp to at least be given the opportunity to try it. I think I may raise it with my doctor one day just to see what kind of reaction I get.
