Hi all
I posted about abdominal pain/problems in December- got a whole lot of helpful replies. GP sent me for blood tests and scan - all clear thankfully. Seems to have settled now - not sure what caused it or why ok now. Thanks for the advice given.
Anyway, my new query - I just haven’t been well since October (or even July when I got Covid). I’ve been absolutely exhausted after activity, very tired generally and quite low (background tingling after activity too). I think it could be my B12 level even though I self-inject eod. I’ve just injected 3 days in a row and feeling a lot stronger today and been exercising this morning.
Feeling off sort of coincides with increasing the level of Oestrogen I have been taking - however I don’t know if I’m making a false link trying to search for answers. Maybe it could be that as I near menopause there’s a link with hormones more generally. Searching online a few nutrition sites link HRT with B12 depletion - but I’m not coming across any research or medical info stating this. Does anyone know of suggested links with HRT or menopause?
I struggle with the idea of needing daily injections. I have been si since April 2020. After years of monthly B12 injections I found they were no longer enough after surgery - si eod cured my “post operative fatigue” (two years later - when I was taught to si by nurse at GP surgery and experimented with more).
Do other people find they have periods when they need more B12 and then it settles down? What theories do you have about why this happens?
Thanks. Long post!!
