Three steps forward...one step back?

I've heard many times that with B12 therapy you might feel worse (and have symptoms flair-up), while the healing process is occurring. I guess what I'm finding frustrating is that for a day or two I feel GREAT, and am making real progress with the symptoms healing. And then...wham! I wake up and it's (almost) right back to where I started with the numbness, burning, eye twitching, anxiety, etc. Was simply wondering ~ does this happen to anyone else out there?

Hi Simplicity17 you are not alone but what you are feeling is not uncommon - just the B12 and Folate doing their job.

I wish you well.
