Leber and B12 injections

[Andrianna]

Hi Everyone,

I was diagnosed with pernicious anemia about 1.5 months ago. Injections have helped with 90% of the symptoms.

But my vision seems to be worse. My vision is blurry when I look at my phone. And I feel very high, spacey, and sensitive to light.

I was reading about Leber and B12 shots. Is this something for me to be worried about? I use Methylcobalamin.

Leber's Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON) is only a problem with cyanocobalamin (and smoking and alcohol). Because it's a mutation in mitochondrial DNA you would expect there to be some family history of LHON on your mother's side, or any of your siblings.

It sounds like you may be one of those people who have an adverse reaction to methylcobalamin.

I read that it’s a problem with Methylcobalamin as well. You haven’t read this? I will try to get my hands on hydroxcobalamin.

I've been having g hydroxocobalamin b13 injections for 1o10&hvnetw months . I still have problems with light and noise sensitivity and visual problems. I've stopped using ibrufren as can cause light sensitivity and tint bleeds if over used which I probably have with awful headaches /migrsins. I personally don't think that's the problem and haven't found much difference. I'm hoping one of the lingerie g probkrms ti be resolved. I hope yourshe improves very quickly.

I felt my vision was worse at first too, but a sight test was absolutely no different, oddly. It seemed to improve over time though and I'm still seeing clearly through my old reading glasses!

how long did it take to improve?

Maybe a few months? It just gradually felt better
