Am I reversing out?

[Gobbozoid]

I feel like death. Every other time when I’ve been put on B12, twice before I noticed a gradual improvement in all my symptoms. My gp gave me loading doses only so I then nose dived.

my main symptoms have always been frequent urination (I’ve had all other possibilities behind this checked and apparently it can be a common b12 issue) extreme fatigue, insomnia, depression and extreme anxiety.

As my gp wouldn’t continue treatment I am self injecting. At first as before my symptoms lessened but yesterday I had the worst day of my life. My bladder was agony, my anxiety extreme, I couldn’t stop peeing or crying. In the end I took some knock out tablets as I just couldn’t cope anymore. I genuinely didn’t want to wake up today. I dont understand how all my symptoms got worse whilst being on treatment. Is this reversing out? If so it’s horrible.

I do wonder if my bladder nerves are really effected lost their protection and maybe I had something that upset them, I did have a single cocktail when out ‘Long Island ice tea’ but my problems didn’t start until the next day.

I feel so low. I even keep considering going A and E although I am not sure if they could help me I genuinely feel that desperate. Has anyone else who had bladder issue due to b12 gone through this.

My partner went out to work and I was genuinely crying to her apologising because she deserves so much better than the man I’ve become. I just want it to stop.

hello, I am so sorry you are in such awful pain.

Because of this I believe it is more likely that you have a bladder infection, a uti. Please get urine checked asap p, if you have not done so already.

I hope you feel better soon.. x

It’s being tested. But will take five or six days.

That's good, I have just read your latest post and you are having a really rough time. Hope you have a resolution soon, best wishes x

It may sound counter-intuitive but drinking more water can really help. A moderate glass-full before breakfast followed by gradual building up to 1.5L of water only over the course of a day. It may take a few days before that amount can be tolerated . Don’t suddenly try guzzling huge amounts, just sipping all day, finishing up by 7pm so that bladder doesn’t fill too much during the night. No juices, fizzy drinks, tea or coffee. Water only for a while. See how you go

If you do have a UTI this will help flush out bladder bacteria. Initially, frequently peeing is expected and actually good, you don’t want bacteria sitting around in your bladder, far better to pee it out
