I feel ashamed of myself..

My work is really understaffed and I am doing the work of three people. This is the point to that my left arm needs to be in a brace. I price tag about 1600 or over clothes per day. An I get every other day off, but here is what is what happen... I was told to do someone else’s work while my work was stacked on top of me. I started feeling dizzy and my eyes started to blur up. I did everything to stay at work. I ate all of my snacks for my b12 diet an the dizziness didn’t go away. It was my lunch break and I was stuck in the lunch room for 55 minutes. Out of all the stress, I when I was finally stable I went home. I had to literally call on my boss on his cell from the lunch room. Which he was in the same store I was. Finally I got home really upset cause I couldn’t make it through the day. Mom asks me “ did you take your dizzy pills” the manager ask the same thing but I wasn’t coherent. After a shower I was like I didn’t take my dizzy pills! I felt like such a idiot and I have been feeling self loathing myself of what my body did when my work needed me most... I still want to cry 😭 an it has been two days since work.

Dont be too tough on yourself.

You obviously need a break.

What dizzy pills do you take?

What frequency of b12 injections do you have?

Get a blood test when possible to check iron ,folate, vit d .ect.

Hope you feel a bit better soon

I take meclizine for the dizziness, I had to stop my iodine pills cause they are making me break out and my thyroid medicine was considered recall due to potiencey. I have to take a tablet for my b12 anemia and vitamin d anemia. Vitamin Adk10 for my vitamin D and I wish I could remember my tablet for b12 which I put over my tongue and makes my teeth red.

I was just wondering if b12 tablets are enough

Was your b12 very low on a blood test?

I ask this as dizziness can be a symptom of low b12 or iron. Ask you doctor.

If your b12 very low and stays low tou may need b12 injections??

Yoh have been ill for some time.

Go back to the doctor.
