B12 deficiency

[Odinil]

My B12 and Folate is borderline low in range so i supplemented with B12 better you oral spray and a B complex. I started feeling worst body aches and pains blurred vision pins and needles numbness in my hands fingers lower arms and bottom legs.

I stopped and tried B12 drops but still the same.

Someone on thyroid uk said that it could be that the B12 smpytoms may be the nerves healing.

Im already struggling with my T4 medication not being a good converter to T3. I had to stop the T4 tablets and now on T4 liquid. My smyptoms are way before taking T4 liquid.

When complementing with B12 do you feel worst before you feel better?

Sounds lije you are absorbing g though which is good. Methylcobalamin diesnt suit everyone especially in injections.

I've nor personally had this form.

Lots of threads to read through if you uses the search facility.

Treat the b12 first

Then folate .

Perhaus lower the doses if your body overwhemed or change form you take??

I was t alot worse before any improvements. I was on injections though.

Not on thyroid meds though do no idea how those interact

folate is very responsive to diet. The normal range is a much better guide to whether you are deficient or not so if your results are in range it is unlikely you are deficient.B12 is much more complex and individual.

It is relatively easy to overdose on B6 so if you were taking large doses of B6 it could be that that was causing the problem.

Some people do feel worse before they feel better with B12

My folate was borderline low in range too.The B12 complex tablets said take two daily but i only took one.

Felt unwell stopped taking them.

Started B12 drops said to take 10 drops daily i only took 5, still unwell, stopped having them.

So i havent been taking any supplements for about two months now because i started on liquid levo and wanted to see if it agreed with.

I will have my hospital blood test results on the 22nd so will hopefullt know more. What a nightmare!
