Yes ive had those symptoms. Also vertigo. Get yourc doctor to check out iron levels folate vit d ect

If it happens more when sn I jectiin is due it probably means yiu need more.

If nothing ejses found ask for 2 monthly b12 for a trial

Only suggestions

Have you previously been okay through 3 months and this has just started recently - in which case it may be a sign that there is something else going on. Have you asked your doctor about doing an investigation, eg for a thyroid condition.I notice from your profile that you also suffer from migraines so wondering if it could be related to that - I know I can feel slightly out of it in the prodrome phase before the migraine itself actually hits.

Hi Yh funny you mention thyroid because when I had my last full count blood test my thyroid was a little raised , so I will ask my doctor about that thanks, my mum said she suffered from the trickling feeling in her head and her doctor gave her tablets but bless her she couldn’t remember what the doctor said it was , thanks again

Hi. Yes I’ve had this. Went to Gp to ask for more frequent injections. Didn’t get. But thorough testing. Also migraines, double vision. Always be persistent is only advice I can give. I’m still in cycle of tests.
