Taking B12 Vitamins

Monday I started taking a B12 vitamin daily and the CHANGE in emotions, fatigue and general feelings is astonishing.
I couldn't wake up with my kids at 7 and the last week has been a huge difference.

Symptoms of B12 Deficiency:
may causes symptoms such as:
  • weakness, tiredness or light-headedness  
  • rapid heartbeat and breathing
  • pale skin
  • sore tongue
  • easy bruising or bleeding, including bleeding gums
  • stomach upset and weight loss
  • diarrhea or constipation
If the deficiency is not corrected, it can damage the nerve cells. If this happens, vitamin B12 deficiency effects may include:
  • tingling or numbness in fingers and toes
  • difficulty walking
  • mood changes or depression
  • memory loss, disorientation, and dementia

    A lot of these symptoms are also common with a low thyroid (like I have) however they could also signal other problems as well.

    We'll see if symptoms continue to improve!
