Too much B12

My GP kindly arranged vitamin B12 injections for me, after prompting. The hospital said I would need them after TG. Since the first one I’ve been getting headaches, flushed face, tingling feet and been tired, digestion has been a bit odd too. 
with the help of Google (yes I know) I reckon this is down to too much vitamin b12

Ive been taking an A-Z vitamin (contains B12) advised by the hospital

ferroglobin (contains B12)  this was for low iron

and still on the Altrajuice (contains B12)

needless to say I’ll now stop the extra ones now - a warning would have been useful, or maybe I was just being dense!

Might be helpful to others 

  • Have a blood test in couple of months. Maybe your body’s stores of B12 weren’t yet depleted so the first injection was too much too soon. But generally speaking whatever you take orally will have no impact after TG. 

  • Thanks for that, maybe it’s something else causing the symptoms. I contacted the GP who is calling me tomorrow so I’ll see what they say.
