My personal experience of having low vitamin B12 levels...
Over recent months, I had noticed that I was experiencing severe tiredness. I would wake up in the morning and feel like I had not slept. I was so tired. I just put it down to my age and the dreaded menopause.
I then noticed that I was having pins and needles in my hands and feet and also experiencing dizziness, especially when I was bending down. I remember even googling MS symptoms!!
Thinking back over the last year or so, I have definitely had mood changes, lethargy and no interest in doing things. I just put that down to the big M. It never entered my head that I might have low B12 levels.
Fast forward to a couple of months ago and I was able to access NHS B12 injections. Several weeks after having the starting doses, I was feeling no better. After intense reading and research I decided it was necessary for me to access more frequent B12 injections outside of the NHS.
I am now feeling like my old self again, thanks to the extra boost of vitamin B12 that I have had.
