I give myself a B12 injection every 3 months and feel noticeably better afterward.  My GI office told me that most insurance plans cover the B12 itself ($11.99 at Walgreens), but not the cost associated with someone injecting it.  Therefore, a nurse in the office I go to teaches patients how to self-administer.  I'm not good about taking vitamins everyday, so this method works well for me. --- On Tue, 8/12/08, glutenfreeinwny@yahoogroups.com<glutenfreeinwny@yahoogroups.com> wrote: From: glutenfreeinwny@yahoogroups.com <glutenfreeinwny@yahoogroups.com> Subject: [glutenfreeinwny] Digest Number 671 To: glutenfreeinwny@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, August 12, 2008, 3:35 PM Gluten Free In WNY Information Group Messages In This Digest (3 Messages) 1a. b-12 shots From: Dale Kreutzer 1b.

Now, my doctor seems to give me it whenever I come in and not feeling up to  par--as a preventive measure--I think. Most insurance won't cover it--I think it was $15.00 a shot. Michelle
