Hi,

Thanks for your query.

I can feel your concerns and I am sorry to read your history.

Well B12 is a water soluble vitamin available in inject able form.

It gives strength to the nervous system , and plays a vital role in the production of blood in your body.
You can take injection vitamin B12 1000 mg intramuscular on alternate days for 2 weeks.

I hope that your query is answered. If you have any other, I would be happy to answer .
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
