Thanks all. Just had my first and yes - it stung - but it wasnt too bad. And I will have to have 6 over this next 2 weeks, followed by another at 3 months

Hi all, Its been a long time since I started a thread asking for advice! I hope everyone is doing well. At almost three years out, my B12 is low and I am about to have my first B12 injection today. Can I ask those of you who have had low B12 (as opposed to those of you who's team routinely...

You look amazing Laura. Well done hun. Are you still losing?

Thanks both. Gary, have I read that right, just 1p more for 30 extra tablets!?

Hi All, doing a bit of research, and I wondered if you would mind sharing with me... 1) Do you use any protein shakes? If so, what do you pay for them? 2) Do you take any other supplements, and again what do you pay for them if you dont get them on prescription? 3) Have you suffered hair...
