B complex

[Angeles]

I just spoke to my aunt who is a gyne in South America, she was in a congress for Vulvodynia with several drs from other countries, Brazil, Chile Argentina etc. South American docotrs follow European medicine and American medicine.
One of the subjects was introducing B complex (B1 100mg, B6 200mg and B12 5 mg) twice a week for 6 months at least (this is orally). I asked if that can done by injections and she said yes but I have to check if it is possible. She suggested I mention it to my docotr here in the US.

IC patients have some trouble with B complex. I didn't tell her that but I thought that will be a good thing to share here since that can be dicussed with your doctor and is not an invasing treatment or anything.
She said B complex of course with a tryciclic and valium. Too bad I couldn't talk to her for longer.
Hope it helps.

Thats interesting. Thanks for sharing. I get Vitamin B12 shots every 2 weeks, I was getting them weekly, once my levels go up I will only get one once a month. I asked my doctor if I could do them at home so I wouldn't have to pay a copay each visit for a shot and he said that was fine, I been giving shots for a long time being a nurse. So I do my shots myself. I just go to the doctor once a month to have a b12 level done.:)
