Sounds like the reduction is not working for you at all as you're getting all the classic deficiency symptoms back.
I've been on 1.5mg per day for 9 years and it works for me but I know of at least a couple of people who need 3mg/day, every day. There are bound to others like yourself who need more.
If you need it, you need it.
Symptoms are your body's way of telling you something is wrong, so aim to stay symptom free. Equally, no symptoms suggests all's well.
PS you might need to start back with more than you were on before (4x) to get yourself over the current deficiency that you've caused yourself by reducing - but you then should be able to go back to that if that was working.
"If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" - do whatever works best for you. One size fits all treatments are not appropriate for a diverse population.
Eg to keep well, which actually equates to staying in blood test range, I need to take approx 24x the upper daily intake recommendation for vitamin D. I have other family members who are not directly connected (cousins who are not sisters, and another aunt) who also need way more vitamin D than recommended, so there must be an unusual gene in our family somewhere.
I have exactly the same concern after recently dropping the frequency of my injections, following advice. Most worrying for me is having "the sighs" back and the feeling of breathlessness but also troubled sleep is back, low mood and feeling tired. I keep thinking it's because X or Y but I'm considering going back to my EOD schedule too. It's only been two weeks for me so perhaps it's too soon for symptoms to come back. Good luck with whatever you decide 😘
I like the analogy’Feeling off course without a compass’. That’s how I feel at the moment, can’t seem to get motivated, feeling low mood, and generally ‘just off’. And I had such a good couple of days last week. So accept my sympathies. It feels like it’s been such a long time since I felt ‘normal’. I’m wondering if it’s my Vitamin D level. I’m waiting for the results of a test to check my levels. If it’s still low I am going to up my supplementation. ☹️
Apparently more than 50% of population are poor folic acid converters and it actually acts as a block apparently if you are a poor converter. My improvement has been down to using methyl folate instead. Back to 2/day B12 for a while - it’s early days but still heading in the right direction!
I was told I have a gene mutated that has I've read contraversy of weather it really affect people or not. but I found a multi vitamin that says folate only not folic acid that is made of fruit and food so it's natural so I take it every day. I'm still new with my injections. I tried folic acid and folinic acid tablets and felt totally out of control so I can't take them I even tried a 1/4 of the tablet but my body went crazy with it so I try to eat food and take the llama natural multi's they have all the B vitamins and d2 and d3. I spread them out throughout the day.
I do apologise for the delay, I have been rather poorly myself. Gently row my darling. Okay, you done a whoopsie (mistake) just get back on track with frequency again. See how you are after 3 weeks.
If after that time symptoms have not started to dissipate then maybe look at supplements that you have swapped. But one thing at a time or you will not establish Cause and Effect.
I am afraid I steer clear of advice with Diabetes. Simply because we had Specialist Diabetic Nurses to work alongside and that was in the Antenatal, IntraPartum and Postpartum period. Women’s bodies change greatly at these times. Interesting fact, our Jam Tarts’ rate increases, it’s vascular volume and output increase too. In the third trimester cardiac output is about 40-50% higher during.
That’s a lot of Ms Muscle and Power in just 1 organ.
Sorry to hear you have been unwell. Hope you bounce back quickly.
I think I listened to my body with my heart rather than my head and heard what I so WANT to hear ... I so WANT to be on few injections that I allowed my body to run before it can walk and I should have used my head and slowed its enthusiasm and reduced more slowly.
I am back to 3 x injections a day and things are improving and virtually all the niggles have gone. Still on the supplements too as they are giving good outcomes. Feeling more like myself again albeit a little more tired than I would like.
Yes, still rowing and at least now I have reset my compass!
