Hi All,

To give some background, i had a baby about a year ago and for some silly reason, stopped taking my prenatal vitamins when i stopped breastfeeding him at 6 months. About 2 months ago, i started experiencing fatigue, body ache and tingling in fingers and toes. My docto did a million tests that all came back negative and finally zeroed in on a vitamin B12 and a Vitamin D deficiency.

I have done blood tests over the past 2 months and looks like my B12 levels are going up (from 215 to 375 to the most recent 455) just by taking my prenatal vitamins again. However, to speed things up, my doctor suggested i take B12 shots. After taking the first shot this past Friday, i feel like i have been run over by a bus. My fatigue is much worse, it's a struggle to get out of bed in the morning. I have increased soreness and bad nausea and dizziness (thankfully the last two things have subsided a little since yesterday). My Doctor still refuses to believe this could be the shots but i have read on many forums that people have such a reaction to shots.

Has anyone else here experienced this? Should i be doing this to myself just to "speed things up" if my levels are going up just with a multi vitamin?

I feel so tired right now and am so done with this whole craziness. I want to feel healthy again!
