> Also, any adverse reactions to look for?

> I am desperate enough at this point to actually poke needles into myself.

>I could find only one article in PubMed about B-12 and lupus or fibromyalgia, and it was a series of case studies about something called "Myers' cocktail" (intravenous nutrient therapy) published in an alternative health journal. No actual clinical studies.
