Surely they would need to wait to see the results of any blood test after the 5 week course then maybe in 4 months time before saying I need them for the rest of my life? I will be bringing this up with the doctor on the 30th.
As I explained in # 4, if you can't absorb B12 then you will need injections, free on the NHS, for the rest of your life. B12 is an essential vitamin, and anaemia due to deficiency needs treating, so further blood tests are probably to confirm that it is no longer at a low level.
