Tiredness - low B12 or not?

[K_mis]

How many of you with Endo also have low B12 and/or low Vit D?

If it's a common thing then I'm wondering whether everyone should be tested when diagnosed.

I just found out recently and started having B12 injections this week and after a few days have noticed that I woke up for the first time in three years feeling slightly refreshed.

I'm putting this up to find out if others may benefit. Thanks

Hi k_mis

I was diagnosed with a vitamin D Deficiency before I found out I had Endometriosis. My doctor sent me for a Ultra sound scan which found a 6cm cyst and adhesions. Then a consultant told me I had a endometriosis.

I do suffer with exhausting fatigue and have also been taking Vitamin B12.

I find drinking nettle tea (clipper brand) and freshly squeezed lemon in filtered tap water helped me with lifting the fatigue enough to get through the day.

I hope you can find what helps you soon.

The past couple of years has been worse. I now go 2/3 days of constant fatigue i sleep for 14hrs n still need more. I go to work then come home and have to go to bed. After those days im fine but who knows about the future x

Oh my god interesting!! I have endo stage 4 and I have b12 injections every 10 weeks for pernicious anaemia! I’m tired all the time and always it it down to b12. But there must be a link there!! 😩

Just want to make clear I'm not a doctor so not an expert but low B12 is not always due to pernicious anaemia so was curious. Sorry to hear you're so tired. It's rubbish isn't it? I hope that you are able to do some lovely relaxing things to help 😊
