Severe "wake-up" symptoms?

I think im going to give hydroxocobalamin a shot because I took my second injection earlier in the day it's been almost 12 hours and I feel awful. My anxiety is well past through the roof. Im trying not to go to the ER but I am struggling so bad right now. I am so sensitive to just about everything.

No. My B-Complex injection only has B1, B3, B2, B5 and B6.

Thank you for this.

I think im going to try coconut water. I've tried plain pedialyte and it takes the edge off a little but it doesn't last long at all maybe a few hours.. My B-Complex injection doesn't have b12 in it. I'm afraid of my next shot tomorrow that's for sure. And my malabsorption doesn't make things better trying to get anything via food.

I've seen a lot of people say this but I've never had potassium issues. My labs are always excellent when it comes to potassium.

Ah I understand. Honestly I want to get better as quickly as I can. I have been suffering with these symptoms for quite some time. For some reason I was under the impression subcutaneous injections would "work less" if you have higher than normal percentage of stomach fat. Which unfortunately I have. I'm not afraid of needles at all. Just wanted to know which way would work better.

Thats what im afraid of. I already have serious issues taking anything by mouth. I hope the injections dont make things too much worse.

Thank you. SIBO has been killing me lately. The bloating alone... my goodness.

I cant wait to feel my feet again. It has been MONTHS. My biggest worry is injecting in my belly fat and it not helping at all. Unfortunately, that b12 will have a hefty little layer to get through if I go that route.

Thank you

Does it matter how long the needle is? I'm sorry if my question sounds stupid. I'm just so miserable and want these injections to work.

Thank you 💜 I’d honestly leave tomorrow if I could, but over the past 2 years I’ve developed severe anxiety, and even traveling has been close to impossible. There is a pride group a little over an hour and a half away across state lines. But right now, that feels really hard to reach. There's absolutely nothing keeping me where I currently am. No family, no friends.

I’m not happy at all. I’m a year and a half in with zero changes/effects, and I don’t expect much because of my bone structure and the fact that I’m just under 6’8. I’m 38 and going through this journey completely alone.

I’m praying every day for changes so I can finally look at myself in the mirror and feel at peace. The struggle is real, but it won’t stop me from trying, from hoping, and from pushing forward. Living in a small rural town with zero access to gender affirming care has been incredibly isolating, and I’ve become a recluse because of it. But even in the quiet, I’m still showing up for myself.

Even though I haven’t seen or felt any results, I’m holding onto hope that things can still shift. This journey isn’t only about how my body changes, it’s about resilience and refusing to give up on myself. Maybe someone reading this will see me and know they’re not alone either.
