I started feelin unwell March 2021, at first they thought vertigo until I had a blood test and found my b12 was low, doc starts me on tablet form and they didn’t work so start my on the injection last week, I’m due my last of 6 tomorrow, I’m still feelin dizzy and lack of energy, odd time I don’t feel so bad, could the fact I’ve felt awful and worried so much be anxiety how long will it be before I feel the benefit and feel my normal self again?

Did the anxiety start after or at the same time as the other symptoms? Do you follow any specific diet. Vegans and Vegetarians are generally lower in B12 unless they take supplements. Have you had any other test, B3 , B6 , B9 and D might be something to check also. I would also suggest ways to reduce your overall stress level like breathing exercises , mediation, sun exposure. And yes stress and worry will deplete certain vitamins and minerals potentially making the situation worse.
