After loading doses

2 Replies

Hello,

I finished my loading doses about a month ago now and have been told to get injections every three months. Most symptoms have gone but some have appeared. I have pain in random places throughout the day. Mostly my joints (especially ankle) and in my chest which come and go. I went to the doctors yesterday and was tested for coeliac disease, they also took blood for a full count and intrinsic factor (waiting on results). I would say my body has positively reacted to the treatment but still feel a lot of twitching (usually in legs) and pain, sort of in my bones and muscles.

Some symptoms that tend to show more is muscular stiffness (in face too) and being really off balance. I have heard these are somewhat normal, if possible, I would like to hear from people who are experiencing some neurological symptoms who are recovering just to assess what I can expect whiles my nerves repair. Thanks for any responses :)

You have hit it on the head the nerves need time to repair and we often feel worse before better. You might need more frequent injections if symptoms are persistent.

Time and enough b12 to repair. .

Hope steady improvements are ' made.

make sure vit d folate iron also was tested.

often 3 monthly is not enough.

neurological symptoms need every othef day until no further improvement
