tiredness

[pinkypurple58]

I had my 12 weekly shot last month and I am feeling tired again already i can drink a lot of coffee and i can still feel tired i am thinking of taking multi vitamins to see if that can boost my energy levels. I have to have a small nap most days and still feel tired.

I suspect the only thing that will improve your energy levels would be to have B12 injections more regularly.

If you’re in the UK you should be able to ask your GP for injections every 2 months, rather than 3.

I, like many on this forum, found this still wasn’t frequent enough to keep symptoms at bay so I now si and I’m pleased to say that this keeps my energy levels on an even keel.

If you're drinking a lot of coffee after lunch or later it can affect sleep - even if you have no problem getting to sleep it can impair sleep quality - might be an idea to at least temporarily cut down to just the morning cup and see if you feel more rested.

One of my main symptoms was drinking my strong morning coffee and going straight back to sleep!

Are you taking a B Complex supplement? Also, an extra folate, methyl folate preferably, could help a lot. Good luck!

I start feeling symptoms 3 weeks after an injection, so I get my husband to give me a shot once per week.
