Any one experienced:

Has anyone had B-12 and Folic Acid injections and how soon do you feel better.

From a not-healed, new celiac disease, with gastro. problems.

Any takers? Lisa B.

I began seeing a difference fairly quickly, but it took several weeks for me to really get energy again. Watch the folic acid levels if you begin to have insomnia. I had to lower mine because I would take a shot and be up for a couple of days. Boy did I ever get a lot accomplished over those couple of days, though!

I haven't had shots but I did take a B complex with folic acid for a while, and it did help especially with the brain fog and fatigue - almost immediately for me. But I wasn't sick for long before going gluten free (a month of D more or less). I think my levels are ok nowadays though because I started having a bit of insomnia as well. :) Nowadays I just take a pill if I've recently been glutened and need to be able to work.

they say 48 to 72 hours but it took me about a week and a half to start noticing any differences. and to see major differences in my forgetfulness and poor concentration it took about one month.

      She used to take supplements, but her abdominal pain is so debilitating that she hasn't been able to continue.  Her primary care team has been suggesting liquid supplements rather than pill form to help.  They just drew a lot of blood Friday and we are slowly getting all that work back.  I will definitely check into thiamine!  Thanks!

      They have not done that yet.   We are looking at some other treatments to help. And you are correct.  The tickborne illness has been a wild ride.  Our whole family has been battling different tickborne illnesses.  Its expensive and exhausting.

      I cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin.  Here in the UK I take Paracetamol.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.
