No. And I can't find anything that even gives me a hint.

> Each needle the reaction has lessened.
That actually suggests to me that you were seriously B12 deficient, and that your body had ramped up some enzyme concentrations in a desperate attempt to accomodate what little B12 you had available. That's my educated guess. If it was an allergy, you'd get worse over time, not better. You'd have hives. And you'd have a more severe reaction at the injection site.
> Also methylcobalamin sublinguals have similarbut far weaker reactions.
Suggesting you don't have good gut uptake of B12, consistent with the idea that you were previously seriously deficient in B12.
> I haven't taken any large dose B12 for probably 3 months now. I was going to see where my blood levels got to.
Blood B12 is not a great indicator of status, but it is conveniently measured. It's the amount in your various organs and tissues that really determines your B12 status.

Oh, you're quite original, sweetheart. I don't know quite what to make of you. <grin>
