If your doctor won't give you a B12 shot tell him to shove it up his ass, and get a new doctor. It's not like you're asking him to write you a 'script for 300 oxycotin tabs.

The control-freakish nature of many medical professionals astounds me.

Anyway, you can also try large dosage (5000 mcg) sub-lingual B12. Some of it will make it into your bloodstream without going through your stomach.

Second this, about a thousand times. I don't care where you live, there is somebody in town who will give you a B12 shot. Drop your current doctor, and be sure to write him a letter telling him why. You might save somebody else.
