Vitamin B12 Shots

I have to say I have never heard of "exercised induced asthma", but like you I have an extremely hard time not viewing them as consequential. The PCP is the way to go. You only have to come off 5 so in reality you can take your time. Personally if I had to do it again I would have suggested .5 on a 3 week span. Why be in a rush with how long you have been on it. That amount of time has to play a role in your issues. Positive thoughts your way and stay in touch as you start again! Bill

@wkary, I'm talking to my PCP tomorrow about lowering my prednisone. I've been on 2.5 mg for 4 months. We have already discussed a s-l-o-w taper. Keep on sending those good thoughts! Rosemary

@coastalgirl, thanks for your reply. I never had any signs of asthma or any breathing issues before. And it is strange to me that now, I have it - 7 years post transplant, and with lowering prednisone. My local PCP, pulmonologist, and cardiologist all tell me that they don't think there's a connection; that my levels were too low to cause that! But....hmmmm? I will bring this possibility up to my transplant team when I visit them. It is frustrating because I like to think that I'm the one in control (it's the prior teaching career).
On the bright side, I have just returned from a vacation to Utah NPs and was able to do some pretty decent hiking, but still not like before.

So glad you were able to get some hiking in. That is awesome!
I, too, must admit I like to feel I am in control. I was a court reporter for 26 years until retiring last year. I am still clinging to the hope that i will be able to work some but haven't made it there yet.
Anyway, it does sound quite suspicious.
Also, i read that some women actually develop adult onset asthma later in life, too.
Best of luck and love that we can share with each other and find a common ground with someone that truly understands.

Some great news and sending positive thoughts.

@wkary Thanks. I got the green light! Every other day taper and see how it goes.
Rosemary

Wonderful news!!

Fantastic!

I took a 1000 mcg of Cyanocobalamin. Will this hurt me? It’s been over a week.

That amount of B-12 is considered safe but are you sure you need supplemental B-12?
You might talk to your Physician about it and ask for a blood test just so you'll know for sure. Why take something you don't need.
A supplement probably isn't necessary if you eat a healthy diet.
Do you have celiac disease or another condition or take medication that may interfere with its absorption? I take seizure medication which interferes with
B-12 absorption but I eat quite a bit of meat and fruit and other foods and mine is within normal range.
Don't take B-12 with vitamin C.
Vitamin C prevents your body from using
B-12 and should be taken with a meal to be better absorbed.
Take care,
