Hi,

I'm 46 and have been bleeding for about 3 weeks now. I assume this is perimenopause but am going to doctor tomorrow to check.I'm feeling incredibly drained ,angry and depressed so feel quite desperate.

My question is has anyone tried Vit B injections to hlp with perimenopause or mood problems? I want to ask my doctor to give me one but don't know if it's that simple.

I live in New Zealand so not sure how easy shots are to access.

Thanks for your input in advance

i don't get the B12 shots but I know a lady that does and they seem to help her a lot. She gets them about every three months. She said she can tell when it's time for another one because she feels cranky and tired.

I just asked the Doc about getting one and she said I need to get my vit B levels tested first. Surely I should be able to try them if I'm paying.

I agree you should be able to get them if you're paying. She needs to test your B levels and if they are low she should treat you appropriately. These damn doctors! They can be so irritating!
