Low B12 and tiredness

HI

I have been getting b12 injections for over 3 years
they used to be three monthly then two monthly then now monthly
I had my ususal injection last week but it has failed to kick in
I normally get a good boost but I feel worse than I do when it is due which is pretty bad
I feel like falling asleep at my desk in work and so exhausted
 
I just started B 12 injections and have not noticed any differences whatsoever. I think there are so many things that can make you tired, so I think it's more likely you have some new thing wrong than the B 12 not working.

I do b12 shots but it's never helped much. If you feel that fatigued ask about increasing it at home. It's very safe because you pee out the excess.
 
I found that the B-12 shots were helpful but my last blood workup it showed still low so I had to add a B-12 pill at 1000 mg. You might want to ask for another blood workup for the B-12 to see what level you are.
