Hi.Need advice. My questiona are

I recently started b12 injections on 2nd one and was wondering when will I start feeling effects 

With last three weeks I have experienced extreme heat starting in my lower back going up to my head.if feels like heat that emanates from electric hob.it happens 5 to 10 times daily and lasts up to 5 minutes .it wakes me up which is annoying as I only sleep 2 hours at a time

Both gp and endo think my  thyroid bloods are fine.would this new symptom point to a diagnosis .I have posted bloods before but will do again for anyone who wants to comment. Frustration and irration are my most common emotions lately and want to change this.thanks in advance.linda.

As far as I am concerned B12 can cause sometimes very weird symptoms when nerves start renewing. 

I only used sublingual, but my first symptom was awful jaw pain.  It could last five minutes or so.  Was not so fun,  but have read that has happened to other people too. 

Second I  got simply pure pain in my legs and arms.  Burning,  tingling,  hard to describe pain.  After a while it went away.

That's really interesting Justiina, because I went through a long spell of intermittent teeth nerve pain.  My teeth and gums are perfectly healthy and I hadn't thought it may have been a response to my B12 injections which started just before the nerve pains started.  The nerve pains have reduced right down recently, thankfully, hope it stays that way.

I have read other people have had same kind of pain too and nothing wrong with teeth or gums.  

Naturally it is very uncomfortable feeling ,but it does pass at some point.

As others have said, this is likely the nerves starting to work again- some of my neurological symptoms got worse then better after starting injections.
