Your thoughts on energy level

Hello my friend Dana, I am taking my B12 shots 1000mcg every 2 weeks plus 1000mcg by mouth daily and I have more energy that I know what to do with...its 1AM and I took a sleeping pill at 11 and I'm still awake. I feel great yet I have an iron deficiency so I must take iron everyday.I have mycytic anemia which is iron deficient not from surgery had it from childhood. Maybe you can talk to doc about increasing B12 injections. I am assuming you are taking them at elast once a month as I was told I need to do this the rest of my life.

Hi Ginny, no I don't do B-12 injections, my B-12 level is above normal with the sublinguals, I do need to make a follow up visit with my PCP, maybe I'll talk to him about the shots. Hope you are resting this morning, wow I'm zonked by 10:00 every night, don't sleep soundly though, I have a sleeping pill my PCP prescribed for me and it knocks me on my a$$, haven't been taking them though as with 2 little ones at home and husband working out of town, I'm afraid I won't be there for the boys if I take them. Today has started off pretty good, I have been pushing the liquids so maybe that is helping. Hugs, Dana

I too am having the same problems. I get feeling hypo-glocemic and shaky. I feel like I need to eat right away and don't always pick the right thing. I have increased my food to every 2-3 hours due to this feeling. I also notice it more when I am stressed or worried. I get B-12 shots and am due for one. I will keep track of the feeling after the shot. The eating more often and drinking less coffee seems to have helped. HOpe you feel better soon. Sarah

OMG Sarah, the hypoglocemic thing i****ting me right now, this is only the 3rd time since surgery this is happened, I was diabetic before so I am aware of what is happening. I just had to eat 2 peanut butter crackers, that's all I had available at the spur of the moment and I really didn't want to try to go get something, very shaky. Hoping it quits soon. I'm trying to figure out when this happens, I had oatmeal with Vanilla Very Berry protein powder this morning and now I'm wondering if it's the carbs from oatmeal . Weird feeling. I haven't done the B-12 shots, only take the sublingual B-12 but thinking maybe I'll set up an appt with my PCP and go that route. Hope you feel better too. Dana
