Are There Some People Who Lose Their B12 Very Quickly?

Many years ago in Suffolk, I was sure, that my three-monthly B12-injection wasn’t done correctly.

It was by a trainee, so I told my GP and she may have repeated the injection. Perhaps the trainee missed the muscle or something?

I’m not sure, but I may have had a repeat injection.

I had another B12 injection about ten days ago and twice in the last two days, I have had symptoms that could be low B12 levels.

Yesterday at one point, I thought I was having a stroke, but a hot bath seemed to improve things.

I then found a Marks & Spencer Liver & Bacon meal-for-one and cooked it, but just eating the Liver & bacon.

I seemed to do the trick.

Today, coming home with shopping, my left leg was painful and so I asked Dr. Google AI for some advice.

I asked if “If  low B12 is connected to red feet” and received this answer.

Low vitamin B12 is strongly connected to foot issues, primarily causing peripheral neuropathy that manifests as burning sensations, numbness, tingling (“pins and needles”), and sometimes, color changes like redness, purple, or white due to reduced blood flow or nerve damage. It causes nerve damage, which can lead to painful or “burning” feet.

Key Connections Between B12 Deficiency and Foot Symptoms:

Peripheral Neuropathy: A, the lack of B12 damages the myelin sheath covering nerves, resulting in burning, numbness, or tingling in the feet.

Reduced Blood Flow/Color Changes: Deficiency can lead to, significantly colder feet that may appear red, white, or purple due to impaired circulation.

Painful Sensations: Often described as a burning feeling, which can make feet feel hot or tender.

Muscle Issues: Weakness, cramping, and poor coordination can affect mobility.

Note:

1. I certainly had pins and needles in my hands, yesterday.

It certainly, looked to me that I might have had low B12.
