Have you b12 defiency symptoms? If so you need to treat

I've not had the same reaction after b12. But have other reactions like weakness in legs or a bit heady or a small repeat of an old symptom. I do get shaky at times

An early symptom was hot sweaty feet which was bizarre.

If you on supplements because of your diet lacking b12 it's just taking the right amount or finding the right dose but normally you need to continue if your diet doesn't change. I e vegan. Go by how you feel. Why did you get tested. ? Was it because of feeling unwell? If not on injections perhaps get your leveks tested as long as you feel well now?

If possible get a loading dose of vit D and also some b12 injections to get your levels up. Alot of people ovet 6o not absorb enough vit b12 as stomach acid reduces. Get some sun on your face and upper torso . Best wishes to get vit D. Also a good multi vitamin have you had your folate level checked? I wish you well
