If they are connected then you can take comfort in the knowledge that, from my experiences, the grotty feeling is a temporary thing and the effects lessens as you have more jabs. After a while I felt no bad effects.

Gods alone know why it happens. I've read many theories, but they are all speculation.

It's a good idea to make your doctor aware of this. Potassium levels can go low with b12 supplementation, that's one possibility.

I think it would help to eat a banana after the injection for some potassium :-)
