Vit b12 deficiency??

I’m 3 months post partum and during my pregnancy I was having weak legs, tired, numbness in hands, spaced out feeling.

did blood work and it turns out my ferritin was so low and so was my b12. I had an iron infusion and my levels went up. I haven’t checked my b12 levels again but only had one injection for that.

my symptoms have now come back e.g. weak legs and exhaustion. Should I check my b12 levels again? Would they still be low after one injection and the iron infusion

Yes. Check them again.

After being diagnosed with b12 deficiency it took my at least six months to feel better. And that was with the starting loading doses and more three months later. Get it checked. And I say this really seriously. I have damage to my feet because of this. So don’t let it slide as it can cause damage if not checked.

Check the ferritin too. I had the tiredness and tingling from that.
