Hi,
So last week I got a call from my GP surgery saying I'd need b12 injections - I wasn't offered an appointment with a doctor to discuss this so not actually sure what my "diagnosis" is. Firstly I'm a little concerned they haven't really asked what symptoms I've had - I went in complaining of ibs-like problems, weight loss and fatigue but didn't even think to mention a whole host of other problems [mood, balance, memory issues, pins and needles in my hands, palpitations, tight chest, breathing problems etc] so I guess I'm asking if any of those things would effect the treatment they'll be giving me?
Also, moving onto the treatment - I've had my first two loading doses over the last 4 days and I wanted to ask if it's 'normal' to be feeling worse since getting them? I'm even more tired than before, I'm aching all over, I'm more nauseous than before too. Any reassurance that this is normal and should go away soon would be much appreciated. I suffer with health anxiety and emetophobia so I'm going out of my mind over this!
Sorry for the long post and thank you for reading.
