A member asked:
I have systemic lupus and arthritis.i caught a flu like bug and was wondering if a vitaminb shot will speed healing without causing autoimmune flares?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
That doesn't make: sense. Vitamin B family are found in grains and are well absorbed. There are vitamin pills that are quite cheap. Shots do not have relevance. If someone cannot take in B vitamins orally, they cannot absorb calories either and have severe malnutritiion.
