Freaking out

My burning pain has really ramped up and is spreading. Is this reversing out? Or am I getting worse?

If you’ve newly been doing regular B12 injections then it’s likely reversing out. I had whole body burning too. It was horrible. But I just kept going with the injections and it eventually passed. My sympathies. X

When did you start getting worse burning pains all over after starting b12, and how long did you find it took to subside? I’m really disheartened at the moment feeling like I’m never going to see any changes. ☹️

It’s hard to remember exactly but I think within a short while of starting treating intensively (EOD or daily) with folate and ferritin at good levels. It’s last for a couple of months and then started to ease. If I get a setback like Covid or doing too much I have a short return of it. Just tell yourself it’s all the nerves healing:❤️‍🩹

Thanks. I’m coming up to three months EOD, and burning pain is starting to increase. It’s different for everyone I’m sure, but would just like to be able to see some light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve just been reading some posts from four months ago about reversing out and pain, and seems like I’m not alone!

You’re definitely not alone. Try to turn it around in your mind that you’re healing. X
