I knew that anaesthetics depleted B12 stores but never thought about gas and air during labour. I consumed an entire tank when I had my son 19 years ago. I remember the midwife telling me off (but as she'd left me on my own with my husband for 6 hours, what did she expect??) No wonder I felt so awful for months afterwards.

I wonder how many new mums simply need a shot or three of B12?
That explains a lot! 30 years ago I was left for 2 days with noone but my husband, all the staff did was come in and change the gas bottle!
Totally agree Jazzw,
I had a very bad experience recently when I had to have major dental work done due to bone loss.
The is a great chapter in Could it be B12 regarding Nitrous oxide ( laughing gas) and any surgery.
My oral surgeon has now told me that I will have a General anesthetic to complete my dental work.
👍
can I ask what tsh 6.28 means and whether it could be linked to b12 injections please?
Why do I feel terrible could sleep all day skin flaky getting sores on my lips, moody and forgetful, TSH level is 1.14 and B12 low

Hi there, can I ask does anyone else have tingling, ( slight pins and needles) fairly consistently in hands and feet? I read it may be B12 ?
My Dr thinks I'm overdosing on T3
