Dear Sharon:
Soory that your having to get shots. I really don't think that the shots themselves would disturb your sleep pattern. One might have some soreness in the area where the shot was given and that might cause some discomfort. But that shouldn't disturb your sleep. I really don't know of any reason why this should happen.
Sincerely,
CCF Neuro MD

I'm a 35yr.Old mother that just started Vitamin B12 injections 2 weeks ago. I haven't noticed that it has changed my sleep at all. I actually haven't been able to feel any difference in my overall health. I'm taking my injections for neuropathy. I'm curious as to what symptoms if any led you to find out you were Vitamin B 12 deficient? Please feel free to e-mail me at ***@****
Good Luck,
Patti
She was sure, before seeing the doctor, that she had a pinched nerve in her lower back, which was causing all of this pain. Can B12 deficiency really cause all of these symptoms?
I HAVE HAD TO TAKE B12 SHOTS FOR OVER TEN YEARS AND I HAVE EXPERIENCE DISRUPTION OF MY NORMAL SLEEP CYCLE IF I TAKE THE SHOT WITHIN SIX TO EIGHT HOURS OF GOING TO BED. I CONTRIBUTE THIS TO THE SUDDEN DECREASE IN THE MILD BLUES THAT B12 SHOTS CAN SOME TIMES REMOVE. I REALIZE HAT YOUR FOUR WEEKS ARE OVER BUT IF YOU EVER NEED TO TAKE THEM AGAIN TRY TAKING THEM AS EARLY IN THE DAY AS POSSIBLE. COULD YOU TASTE THE SHOT? IN MY EXPERIENCE WHEN THE SHOT IS REALLY NEEDED THERE IS A "TASTE" AROUND THE TEETH, I KNOW OF TWO OTHERS THAT HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCED THE "TASTE SENSE."
