B12. A shot to the bot! But did it work?

As part of my venture to be more healthy this year, I was steered toward getting some B12 into my system.   My biggest complaint is that I am always tired, so when I mentioned this to my pal Ashley Koff R.D. she got me in touch with Dr. Jeremy Fine (trust me when you meet him you will understand how he got that last name).

Dr. Fine and his staff are probably some of the most delightfully nice people I have met in Los Angeles.  It is so rare to find such great customer service – you know, people who actually are happy to do their jobs.

Most of you who know me well, know that I am not a B.S. kind of girl.  I want it short and sweet and I don’t want to be swindled.  Dr. Fine talked me through B12 shots and why I might need them.  As a vegetarian since I was 14 (what was that? 10 years ago?  Ok…… I’m 42 this year give me a break), I’m probably lacking in some things that  most carnivores have.  I completely agree.  I wanted  the shot and crikey how happy was I? BTW, I didn’t even feel it.  Is that because I got it directly into my right love handle and let’s face it, there are significant layers of protection there?

Results:   At about day 3 I began to experience what I can only describe as a “good” high.  This must obviously be what “normal” feels like.  I wasn’t tired in the late morning and I just wanted to keep going.  I was also more happy.  I can say that this lasted about 2 weeks for me.  Am I hooked? Yes.  Will I got back for more? Yes.   Should we offer them at Queen Bee once a month?  You tell me.

Dr. Fine is also something of a rarity.  He makes house calls.  You can reach his office at 310 556 8899
