When I had my first jab I was due B12 in 3 weeks I found it bought on B12 symptoms I get when I really need an injection. Now courtesy of my youngest granddaughter I have covid 19 and again am due B12 in about 3 weeks and my first symptoms were again B12 related though worse than with the vaccine and I wondered if anybody else has experienced this? I did report it to the NHS the first time.

Yes I was fine with the second injection just a sore arm again. Now fortunately the B12 symptoms subsided after the first few days and now I feel as if I have a really bad cold.

Poor you, I hope you’re ok. Yes, my first vaccine also brought on my pernicious anaemia symptoms so I needed to self inject much sooner than I would usually need to. Hope you manage to get another injection ASAP x

Thanks fortunately after a few days they subsided and just left with other covid symtoms which aren't too bad just uncomfortable especially the blocked nose.
