Lar,
Just an addition to my above post ...on my B12 reactions
my post re tingling and redness
http://forums.about.com/ab-thyroid/messages?msg=28843.5
"did have a B12 and iron injection this month.,as well as an iron injection last month as I should have absorbed more than enough with food and supps.
About 2 hrs after the B12, iron injections this time my hands turned purple(only for the first night) and my "tingling" and "stiffness" in legs,feet and hands has actually increased. I guess I shouldn't be surprised as my friend said- your hands were always purple- but they used to be a light purple-blue from the cold, not a dark purple. At least I'm not frozen any more and my extremities are not purplish -white and frozen since being on thyroid meds.Just wondered if you had heard of any connection between B12 and numbness and tingling"
After each B12 needle I'd have a "one step backwards, two steps forwards reaction"...I was hoping I was doing the right hing, but the trend line seem to be on the improve. Each injection the "purple" lessened and the color of feet/hands turned brighter red
Here's part of a post I did on a PN forum
"My B12 injection last week caused my to be very fatigued and the palms of my hands to go a bright red and my toes and soles of feet - and a headache for about 4 days. It's been 4 months now and I'm still reacting to the hydrocobalamin injections -I'm still hoping this is the b12 fixing something and NOT some allergic type reaction to the hydrocobalamin making something worse."
Each needle the reaction has lessened.
Also methylcobalamin sublinguals have similarbut far weaker reactions.
I haven't taken any large dose B12 for probably 3 months now. I was going to see where my blood levels got to.So how's that rate on originality?
Hugs, Jan
