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) :)

      Thanks Scott. They are gluten-free but cross contaminated.

      Hernia symptoms after gluten exposure

      By cristiana · Posted

      Hi there @MCAyr I have a small umbilical hernia which came about during my second pregnancy.   I can just about see it, and feel it, when I stand or sit, but it is far less noticeable when I lie down.  I always know when I am putting on weight because I can get pain and burning near the site, funnily enough not on the hernia itself but either side!  I would imagine bloating could cause the same effect as weight gain. In my case I don't think it is my bowel protruding but a bit of fat  - sorry,  I realise this isn't painting a very pretty picture.  But in truth it is scarcely noticeable.  It has never really got bigger in size. I was rather hoping that it could be operated on but here in the UK they don't seem to operate on every hernia anymore.  My GP isn't remotely worried about it. In a way, I should be thankful - it is like an early warning system that I need to go on a diet! Cristiana

      The hernia description would likely be unrelated to celiac disease, but you'd need to get it checked out by your doctor to be sure it's a hernia.
