: : Hi, I was diagnosed with PA about 5 years ago, and have been having injections ever since. I have tried two different types, one that i had to have every 8 weeks and another that I have every 4 weeks...I find that I feel better with the monthly ones. But I read somewhere that there is a gel that can be taken weekly that has the same effect as the injections. Is this correct and if so what is it called? I would love to be able to manage this condition myself...not because the of the injections, but more because of all the time I have to spend in the Drs waiting room...waiting to have my injection. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks...Karin

you can probaby order by percription b12 to inject yourself at home or have someone else give to you. if you have a friend that is a nurse or lpn, etc. they can do it for you once a month. saves waiting in drs. office.. I do that.
