First B12 Shot...questions!

I had my 1st B12 shot yesterday and holy cow, I felt like I had taken speed. I was shakey and weird. (I hadn't eaten yet, and I've also discovered via my dr. That I am hypoglycemic...so that may have had something to do with it). My dr has ordered that I get the shot twice a week (along with a loooong list of other vitamin supplements) . So, my questions are these: Is it normal to feel a little "hyper" from the shot? When will I start to notice a difference, particularly with neuropathy? The nurse mentioned that if my urine turns pink (which it did) I am not fully absorbing the shot...how do you correct this? They ordered the shots and I'm going to give them to myself, so I want to make sure I get the most out of them. I guess I'll have to put the extra surge of energy to good use and maybe go on a cleaning spree :) lol

I've never had the shots but the B12 I take orally definately gives me a boost in energy. When I first started, I took a higher dose and had to make sure I didn't take them in the evening. They would interfere with my sleep.

I do weekly B12 shots. Never felt shaky or wired after them. Wish I had, could use a little of that feeling. lol

I've never heard that you are not absorbing the B12 if your urine is pink. I always was told it was just the body getting rid of the extra B12. Maybe someone else knows about this pink urine relating to absorption problems.

B12 can work fast (12 hours) so if you look at the symptoms of low B12, you may find some of yours have improved.

When I started taking B12 it made me feel GREAT but after a week that feeling went away.

I hope I never have to get the shots. :unsure:

Thanks for the link (I'm learning so much these day from you guys)...I gave myself my other shot earlier today after a meal and didn't have the same shaky reaction. It must have been bc I hadn't eaten...maybe it was too much of a "jolt"! I hope the treatments do work soon, no numbness yet this week. It's usually sort of sporadic for me, so who knows. ;) Still not sure about the pink urine and absorption, but the excess makes sense bc I read about vitamin B50 flushing out excess. My urine is usually bright yellow after I take those. (I'm very colorful these days) :)

      How to navigate living with dermatitis herpetiformis

      By Morgan Tiernan · Posted

      Hi all! Ive been away for a while navigating this new illness and also studying at university. But im back with so more updates and info, thank you all for your help and support.    Update: I suffered with an infection of my dermatitis herpetiformis a month or so ago. This resulted in a trip to a&e with an extremely swollen face, and a 2 week dose of doxycycline. Of course the infection went down but my dermatitis herpetiformis still remains to pop up every now and again. However, I’m coming up to almost a year being gluten free and I can honestly say the outbreaks are less often and more mild. But I’ve been eating extremely strict on a gluten-free diet (not much eating out and very cross...

      Does anyone else have seborrheic dermatitis

      By Morgan Tiernan · Posted

      Hi there! This is something I’ve often wondered too! I’m still going through the process of getting an official dermatitis herpetiformis diagnosis, however I’ve been battling for 3 years and the dermatologists are pretty certain it’s dermatitis herpetiformis/celiac disease with it’s classic appearance and symptoms (it’s nasty stuff!) About 2 years ago before dermatitis herpetiformis was on the cards, I suffered with a terrible episode of seb dermatitis, it was absolutely everywhere and was probs left undiagnosed for months before I could get in with a dermatologist! I used ketaconazole and it seemed to do the trick. However, knowing what we do now, the dermatitis herpetiformis was...

      nuts.com -- no longer Celiac safe?

      By smilebehappy · Posted

      Hi, just went to the Tierra Farm site and while no wheat or gluten is listed there was this: Ingredients Dry Roasted Organic Pumpkin Seeds, Sea Salt. *Processed in a facility that handles tree nuts, soy, sesame and milk.  So many of us have other allergies and sensitivities, always check and recheck. These may not be appropriate for all. I have been fine with nuts.com certified gluten free in the past but have not ordered anything in a while so things can change. Hopefully they will continue to be ok.

      Anyone understand genetic testing

      By JD-New to Celiac · Posted

      Although diagnosed with celiac and dermatitis herpetiformis, I was curious about the celiac genetics and had that testing done on my own. Unfortunately, the lab does not explain the results and any doctor I have asked said I would need to see someone specializing in genetics. I was hoping someone out there might help me understand. Here is what came back and although I understand the HLA DQ2 and HLA DQ8, I wasn't sure what the variants mean and why they repeat twice. Someone said it was a double marker meaning both of my parents gave me copies. I also read having this combination makes my celiac potentially much worse. HLA DQ2 - Positive | HLA DQ8 - Negative HLA...
