Since this was about injections I thought its would be best to post here.
Just wondering if any of you have had experience with them. I have some strait cyanocobalamin 1000mcg per ml and I took an 1 ML IM yesterday morning. I’m a bit confused on dosages so I’m doing just 1 ml every 3 days. My reasons, I feel run down, I sleep poorly, and I have no appetite. Hopefully this will help.
I had noticeable immune system strength increases with B-12. It might help your condition, it might not too, if your feeling all those ways it could be a number of things, you might wanna start thinking about why you feel that way and get to the root of the problem, like what are you putting into your body or what aren’t you. I would consider seeing a doc.
Thanks T-MIA
I’ve actually seen the doc a few times and personally I almost always leave feeling disappointed. I’ve got prescription sleeping pills that I’ve been taking for years. They do help get me to sleep but I wake up early.
A doc I know told me this past weekend that it’ because of dehydration.
So the last two nights when I woke up after 4 hours of sleep I drank some water and it helped. Makes since because its hot here and lately I’ve been sweating a lot while I’m sleeping. Maybe thats the route of the problem?
Besides the sleeping my appetite has been poor even when I’m rested for the last two months. I would rather just drink protein shakes all day, but I eat real food and I’m still moving forward in the gym thank God.
I’ve been threw the whole sup route for years and years, and I’ve tried all sorts of stuff. Taking lots of sleep med sucks but so does tossing and turning in bed for 4 hours. One thing I’m going to try in a few weeks is hypnosis with a lady in San Francisco.
I know someone who went to her to lose weight, and she totally turned her life around. Now she hits the gym, eats less, and has lost a significant amount of body fat. In the mean time I hope the B12 helps.
If you want to feel great… I’ve come to a realization earlier. Testosterone is the single greatest substance in the world… haha
Maybe talk to your doc about HRT or getting your t-levels measured.

After after being on this site for a bit and hearing others talk about that, its something I’m considering. Anyways pretty soon I’m going to find out what a little extra test does if you catch my drift. `

Sounds like you have sleep apnea. You need to see a doctor. excessive daytime sleepness is a major sign of sleep apnea. IT ALSO DECREASE TESTOSTRONE. Wow I bet alot of ppl didnt know that one…But anyway I would go see a doctor and get yourself a little sleep study.

I thought you had to snore to have sleep apnea? I’ll have to look in to that one too. I’d like to have some idea before I go and spend a chunk of change for a doctors visit. Usually I just go threw phases of having good and bad energy but I’m always looking for something to help me work better.
Something else. I just started taking potassium citrate at 2000mg a day. I’ve read its good for neutralizing blood acidity plus my diet is deficient in it. One thing, it should be used with cation since you can overdose on it. Thats why you never see potassium above 99mg per capsule in the health food stores (USA).
You may want to try L-Tryptophan. It usually does not put me to sleep, but when I fall asleep, I sleep very good. The dosage I take is 1500-2000mg. you can buy it at Vitacost.com. If you do try it, buy the pills(the powder tastes God-Awful!!!)
Just a shot in the dark, but have you considered a sleep study…? Based upon your symptoms, there are some indications that perhaps sleep apnea should be ruled out…
As far as the B-12… I personally convinced my doc to get me a course of shots about 3 years ago, and frankly I felt no different. But I have heard others sing the praises of the shots.

In a few weeks I’m going to see a hypnotherapist. Maybe this will help. I’ve been taking lots of sleeping pills for years. It sucks but so does tossing and turning around in bed till 4 in the morning. My mind just gets very active. If the hyponotherapist doesn’t help I’ll try a sleep study.
I talked to a doctor last night. I don’t have sleep apnea. I also talked to a girl that gets the same problems I do. Waking up at 3:00 AM with a rapid heart beat. She said it was anxiety. I don’t know.
I’ve been trying 1000mcg or 1 cc of B12 every 3 days. So far I haven’t noticed any difference either, but I’ll still give it more time.

Thanks for the tip. I use 5 htp and ZMA and I think it helps a little. I didn’t think you could get L-Tryptophan in the USA because it was banned after a contaminated batch was imported from Japan. I did see it in a store but it seemed pricy, for something that I wasn’t sure would work.

There is a very commonly diagnosed syndrome called depression/anxiety disorder that also can cause a lot of what you are complaining of… one of the most notable symptoms is early morning rising… ie 3-5am.
A lot of people also suffer panic attacks during sleep… it actually could explain your feeling tired and your loss of appetite… there are many good treatments available for this if it turns out to be the case…
thank goodness you don’t have sleep apnea… although it’s treatable, the treatment involves wearing a face mask that forces air pressure down your nose or mouth to keep your windpipe from collapsing during sleep… sounds fun, eh? ughhhh…
the hypnotherapy could very well help if you are suffering from depression/anxiety, if not there are great meds and a good understanding medical community to support your getting to start feeling well again.
good luck with all of it, keep us posted

Wow man, thanks Jet. Thats some great information. I’m in music school and I must perform a lot in front of people constantly. Sometimes, before hand, I don’t know what to expect, so I worry. I love it when it goes well but I hate it when it doesn’t.
Jet,
Thanks for the info about the sleep/anxiety disorder. When I am under stress either mentally or physically (i.e. like a real strenuos workout program), I will wake up around 2a.m. with this annoying anxious feeling (just like the shakey-leg syndrome but all over my body).
I just went to the doctor for my work’s annual physical and he said it seemed like a form of depression. He said it is not what people typically think of as depression…like crying or wanting to kill yourself…but still a form of depression.
He said I needed to reset my sleep pattern by taking benedryl at night for a week or so and not to take naps during the day. He said this should take of it. I wrote it off as bullshit and did not take him seriously…Maybe he did know what he was talking about.(If he knew what he was talking about it is pretty clear he wasn’t a workman’s comp doctor!!!)

I wonder about the benedryl just being a short-term solution for you… certainly a good night’s rest is healthful… but, if you’re not feeling any better, then I would consider asking yourself if there might be some depression component at work here.
First thing… get your diet in order, get some sleep… drink some water during the day… and try to reduce some stress somehow… take a walk, read a book, watch a movie… or have sex… did I say have sex? (always does the trick for me)… unclutter your life for a week and see how you feel.
If that doesnt seem to help…then talk to your doc about mild depression… then maybe sleep apnea… he will deal with the mild depression with a simple low dose script of an anti-depressant that maybe you can use for 3-4 months to see if you feel better.
I think plan A may kick the problem right in the ass, but know that there is a plan B and C if necessary … you will feel better again… trust in that.
Peace brother,
Jet.

Benedryl and Unison helped me sleep threw the night but after a while, with an increasing tolerance, it stopped working and I end up waking early again.
