Serious anxiety!

[Plucky1976]

Someone please put my mind at ease and tell me palpitations and serious anxiety is normal for a couple days at a time at times. These last 2 days have been a bit much. My 2 days off of injections of course!

Same here... Anxiety and depression.. Treatment going on.. Sometimes mood amaze sometimes feeling blue.. So I'm not alone.

Ugh!! The anxiety is the worst! It's all my mind can concentrate on. It was a good week anxiety wise until yesterday and today. At times it makes me feel like I'm going to lose it! Had my injection this morning and it's JUST now starting to calm down slightly. Funny thing is o go from this state to an eventual complete state of calm (probably later on tonight) and then I worry something is wrong because I can't remember ever being so calm.

Yes,, I have had pain in chest area so all time my concentration been there,, even It effects my BP.. I never had any problem with it. But now 😕😕

It will get better. I started b12 injections a month and a half ago but wasn't on a proper schedule. Since I've been on 3 injections a week I feel slightly better. (This is my 3rd week of 3 per week.). I got so excited because my eyes started tearing up after cutting an onion. I had lost my sense of smell. It will get better you just have to get the right schedule. I'm tempted to take sublinguals on the weekend just to get me by.

Jotk9 I have read so many times on here recently about others experiencing the chest pains and I distinctly recall reading how people alleviated it with some extra mineral but can't remember if it was potassium or magnesium or what, think they said it was all the extra B12 needing extra mineral and without it the chest pains seemed to be a symptom, I cannot for the life of me find any posts now though!

[Jotk9 in reply to BlueBoyMico]

B12 use potassium to make new blood cells, but magnesium do help in cardiovascular health. It is good for rapid heartbeat.

Bless you!!!!!!!!! I heading to buy some of those post diahorrhea rehydration sachets they seem to have all four main minerals

Why not self-inject ? If you have exhausted all avenues with your GP , S.I . Is a godsend . It changed my life . You would get help here if you so decided.If you have P.A. injections are th bt method. Also not expensive if you buy in bulk, £1.00 per shot. . Think about it. .Best wishes ,

Thank you wedgewood!

I do get injections M, W and F but I seem to need something by Sunday night. Funny enough last weekend I was ok. Maybe I was low on something else. Going to have to look into it.

Hi Plucky1976 with all the B12 you are getting is your Folate level O.K?

As to the palpitations I get the occasional "flutter" soon after an injection but then I have mine every three weeks. If you are really worried about that and your loss of smell ask your doctor to check you out.

I am not medically trained

[Plucky1976]

My sense of smell has finally come back. Funny enough I have always had random palpitations. Now wondering if it was from a lack of b12 all along. They get better after an injection but are worse just before and immediately after.

I suffered/ suffer badly with anxiety at the start of my loading shots and carried on for 18 months, which are under control now. I am on medication now which helps.

I also was VERY irritable and snappy.

.....only, as regular anxiety suffer I began to understand it more after reading Freedom Feom Fear Group, ( my fear is way up there!)

The understanding of it helped me to cope better, although it is horrid no,doubt about it. It is Just that you become more and more 'sensitised' when you 'buy into it'.

The Group advise you, as best you can, to give it as least attention as you possibly can, talk to it as if it's an old friend 😱 ( I know lol ). Treat it like, Oh here you are again, back again, well that's fine I'm still going to go shopping, ring a friend , wash hair, go to work blah blah The least attention you can, I find it just pops off for a while, or, the eye of the storm, try and focus in on it, " Come e on, give me your very worst, see if I care, I shout at 'it". I give it a name,

Maybe I'm mad haha but it truely helps me - it has nowhere to go when you do this and it dissipates, Giving it fearful attention whips it up more

....I don't know about you, when I feel I can take no more nature gives me a wonderful day off

[Plucky1976]

Thanks! I could handle an hour or two but there are times when it's a day and a half straight. It's exhausting! I read somewhere it has something to do with the vagus nerve. I wish there was at least one neve in my body functioning properly! Lol

[Cup-cake7]

Bless and understand! And we read so much in internet..... what is what? I suppose there is some,truth also that your sub conscious reacts exactly to what you feed it, as it doesn't question or analyse like the conscious mind can. So even when I'm in the thick of it I repeat to myself calm affirmations especially in the car driving I find this a brilliant time to repeat I am safe, I am calm etc. And if you listen to your breathing going in and out and rise your tummy, I e noticed it works for me x

[Cup-cake7]

Yes, it's so exhausting, a load of mental energy goes into Irational fear, it's such a waste 😱 Then you feel you are in a cycle don't you, you start to revitalise some energy and the anxiety starts up again, Not giving it attention is the order of the day, thefreedom of Fear group say it is the biggest BLUFF there is,,,,

. I think I've not been able to follow it through as the last thing you can have is self pity and I can't help this from time to time as get so dispirited. Aaaggh

They teach, Face It, and Accept it, Float and let time pass by ...

( facing and accepting is the hardest for me as I resist and run)
