Describe your life in an alternate universe.
My answer isn’t very interesting or imaginative, but in my alternate universe, my health would be completely restored, The entire new universe would be covered with flowers, gardens butterflies, and trees 🌳 always beautiful, peaceful and calming 😊
Here, there is only one human who is surrounded and all kinds of talking animals 😀 and we would spend our days running, playing, laughing, and cuddling together ❤️
Perhaps some of my readers have been prescribed B-12 shots for their vitamin deficiency’s If so, I am curious 🤔 if they helped?
On a personal note, I was prescribed a weeks worth of B-12 injections 💉 to administer here at home by my neurologist two days ago.
I was very concerned 😟 about side effects, especially ones that might affect my chronic pain 😢 but I decided to try a shot yesterday.
Luckily, the side effects weren’t too bad. I was desperate for something, anything that wouldn’t cause me to be so tired all the time. I was definitely happy when I seemed to get about a 15 – to 20-minute burst of energy that allowed me to do a few things 😌 around the house 🏠 except for most of the rest of the day I was still worn out.
I woke up this morning 🌄 horribly fatigued as I always do, and I am hoping for the same effect (a tiny bit of energy), so I gave myself another injection 💉
Unfortunately, today’s shot 😕 has had terrible effects. I feel more fatigued and in pain than I ever have. I have no energy whatsoever. I read online that the shots sometimes have a melatonin effect in which they make people horribly sleepy.
I had such high hopes for the shots! I really hoped they were going to help me with my extreme fatigue 😩
If any of my readers have ever taken B-12 supplements or injections, 🤔 how 🤔 did they make you feel?
Dear Max,
In short, the appointment did not go well at all. Exactly what I expected to happen, unfortunately, did.
I don’t suppose it is not necessary to write a long letter about what happened 😕 at the office, because it was quite simple and something that has happened to me with every doctor I have seen for my facial pain.
Dr. El-said said that he only treated Trigimina Neueolgia, and since the medication he gave me did not work, once again I heard the dreaded words, there’s nothing more I can do, I will refer you to a headache specialist and a Tmj surgeon 😪
Quickly on a side note, I did learn from the bloodwork that I got done at Quest Labs not too long ago, indicated a vitamin B-12 deficiency, so I was prescribed some B-12 shots to give myself at home. I hope that I will be able to administer those correctly.
Unfortunately, when I was weighed, my weight was 84 pounds and not 88 (so I have lost 4 pounds within only two months) 😫 I am not dieting. I am only constantly losing, and this has me very concerned 😟 It is unfortunately an indicator of a very serious illness 🤒 for months and months I have been researching other issues that could cause this symptom, unfortunately most all of them lead to one. (But I just keep telling myself it’s because of the pain that I am barely eating because when I do, the pain is excruciating) so im not getting many calories 😪)
But that is neither here nor there. Today is my birthday 🎂 and I was hoping and praying for some good news 🙏 for at least some pain medication when it just becomes too unbearable but unfortunately, it was not to be.
I am debating whether to completely give up or not. because I am just so tired 😫 because again I have to start all over and I dont know if i really want to do that.
For three years, I have been going to doctors, having all kinds of tests, everything with no result.
I am not quite as depressed this time about this as I was with the other doctors because, like I mentioned, it was expected, but it didn’t particularly make for a very good birthday 😪
Sincerly Meowmmy 😺
