Rationing of B12 deficiency treatment

I had no idea that some patients needed MORE B12 than the usual massive injections.
Wonder if they can get private prescriptions for the injections. At a cost, of course.

I can get B12 injections on line to inject yourself and they are not too expensive.

After seeing this health quiz from the B12d site, I'm now trying to recall the name of the Type 1 who was posting about foot drop a while ago. Does anyone remember? It's one of the (many) symptoms that can be related to B12 deficiency.
Here's a link to the questionnaire if anyone want to check their own symptoms:

I think I'll search the forum for mention of foot drop and post the questionnaire there as well. I've been reading quite a few horror stories lately at other forums about this - metformin and PPI drugs are both implicated, as are genetic factors. The fact that doctors are wilfully ignoring the permanent effects that a deficiency can have on people is frankly terrifying
