Covid and B12

[ClareP5]

I SI EOD following self diagnosis of B12 deficiency- awful pulsatille tinnitus and I didn’t fit the other reasons I might have it.

Covid finally caught me this weekend and the pulsatille tinnitus is back with a vengeance. So I am injecting every day and it goes away after a few hours and comes back overnight.

I presume this means that having Covid is using up all the B12 I’m injecting.

just interested to know if anyone else had a similar experience with Covid?

Thanks for reading

When I had covid my b12 def . Symptoms ramped up or returned. When your immune system 'under attack! With other symptoms to deal with this is common .

I've constant tinnitus triggered by light,noise or using my eyes!

Cant remember if it wax worse during covid.

For me it's a lesser symptom.

A good sign it went for you.

I'm sure it will again in a few weeks post covid infection .

Thanks- good to know we’re not alone. It’s made me wonder if some of those with Long Covid have been tipped into b12 deficiency.

I think very similar symptoms

Yes, my sister has LC and there is much overlap symptoms wise.

Each time I have had Covid I have needed more B12 jabs

I became B12 deficient after I had COVID in December 2021. I too have had pulsatile tinnitus since then and I also think it depleted my vitamin D. I’m still trying to heal. It took a year to figure out I was low in B12 and it’s taking another year to be properly treated for it. And is there such a thing as long COVID? Or is it causing vitamin deficiencies which in turn is causing dysautonomia, etc.?

Good question - I've done my injections every day since I got Covid and that's done the trick! Good luck - I hope you get there too.
