I had my second injection today after a 6 week break after initial loading doses.G.p finally agreed after advice from here. This is a very different experience. My head and ears are buzzing more. Although my body like lead I've been up all day. Even put washing on the line! (A first in 3 months) My vision is worse and I'm hoping repair work going on there. Also a strange numbness across eyes and forehead which is new. Has anyone else's vision affected by B12 injections? I'm also having waves of anxiety which I thought had gone. May be concerns with eyesight?? Going with it but feeling very odd.
(The initial loading doses made me very ill for 2 weeks )
Anyhow one had similar or any reassuring words ?

Hi again Nackapan! Just wanted to reassure you that more frequent injections will help the eye problems, at least they did for me. I am on my 7th week of every other day injections. Aside from my tummy issues, ALL my other symptoms have gone or improved significantly. I almost feel normal again. I did have forehead numbness with my headaches and eye aches, but that is almost gone as well. I think the only thing I have remaining in regards to my eyes are occasional floaters, but I can deal with those. Just keep up the injections!
Yes I've had the bloods done thank you. I didn't realise the associations. The day after the injection I calm again? Will see what bloods say when they come back. It takes over a week at my surgery as the results come back from different places. Then have to be seen by a doctor first before the receptionist can access them to print off. This all delayed my initial treatment as you then have the almost impossible task of getting an appointment. That process took 4 weeks and 4 weeks on start of symptoms to do b12 test. Too slow really.
