Yep, that’s what I was told when I asked the DAN doctor about some lumps/bumps at the injection site of the MB12 injections. Now I’ve been doing these for Little Bug twice a week every week since early December so I’ve kinda got it down right. Everything up until a couple of weeks ago seemed fine but then Little Bug pointed out to me that he had a bump. I figured maybe somehow I went in at the wrong angle or something and it would go down. Well it didn’t go down and I was getting worried.
Our next DAN doctor appointment hadn’t been scheduled since our doctor was looking for another office to move to and we were told they’d contact us within 30 days. Well it was well over 30 days and I hadn’t heard a peep and couldn’t locate them and the office they were at previously didn’t have any contact information or maybe they just weren’t sharing it. Anyway, I remembered we hadn’t gotten the results back on a test I mailed in (and paid for) so I took a chance and called that company and thankfully they had a contact number for the doctor.
Once I actually got a hold of someone we scheduled an appointment two days later. Well by now, it’s been almost two weeks and I had continued Little Bug’s injections on schedule so guess what? More bumps and again right at the injection sites. Ok, now I’m really getting worried and I don’t like this one bit.
So we make it to our appointment and the doctor tells me it appears that he’s developed an allergic reaction to the MB12 so I ask what other options we have. She recommends we try the MB12 cream but continue with the injections till the cream comes in. Uh hello! If it’s an allergic reaction do I really want to do that? I went ahead and did it one more time just to see if he’d get another bump but with the stipulation that if another bump appeared that was it. I don’t care how many I have unused. Sure enough another bump so no more injections.
Of course not only is the cream extremely expensive it’s bright red and can stain and it has to be applied twice a day everyday and remain on his arm for 45-60 minutes. Not easy to get a kiddo not to move his arm or get red stuff on his clothes. But if it’s easier for my Little Bug it’s okay by me. (That photo up there is what the MB12 looks like on his arm after about 20 minutes. Fortunately it washes off easily.)

Poor little bug… it sounds like he was a trooper through it all. I am glad you went with your gut and stopped the shots. Hope the cream will work well!
