Kindly don't self medicate and you don't require any injections. You will require a vitamin B12 supplement. These following foods are rich in Vitamin B12:
- Eggs, chicken, beef, turkey
- Tuna, shrimp, mussels, sardines, clams, oysters, crab, salmon, trout
- Cottage cheese, Swiss cheese, milk
- Fortified cereal, nutritional yeast
