Have you tried B12 or B Complex injections?

Have you tried B12 or B Complex injections for HIV fatigue?
I took my first one today and am hoping for the best! - Heather R

  1. I do B12 sublingual lozenges when I need to boost my energy. Have you ever tried Ginseng and Astragalus. They are Chinese herbs that I take daily and have taken since my diagnosis. They really give me energy throughout the day. Be sure to talk to your doctor as they can have some interactions and also temporarily raise your blood pressure.

    1. I will have to look into those and speak to my doctor. I had a doctor prescribe the B12 injections. Luckily, I can do them at home once a week.
      I have chronic fatigue and nothing has been helping with my energy levels. So I am definitely interested in anything that would help. Thanks for taking the time to respond. - Heather R (team member)

  2. I was given b12 injection weeks before my diagnosis and had side effects covered head to toe in a rash. But that could have been to the high level viral load as it was unaware I had hiv.
