Ditto - I did my month of daily IVF injections while I was actively having platelet transfusions. Yeah, I got bruises from them. But I also got bruises just from sleeping and sitting still!

There's got to be some other reason that they're not telling you (funds? Insurance? Political? Staffing?).

Fingers crossed the oral B12 will tide you over to DF.
