Hey. So you’re ok now? Thanks so much for sharing that with me. It gives me hope or reassurance to hear the ebb and flow is common, because although my naturopath said it can sometimes take months, I was starting to worry he was wrong and something else was causing my symptoms. It can be quite disheartening when my symptoms get bad again after a little while of being gone, although at least they’re not as bad as when it first started. I haven’t spoken to anyone else who knows anything about these deficiencies so this is wonderful thanks!

How long did it take for you to recover?

It must be going on a few months now but Ive been on the vitamins and iron for about 3 weeks. Tested my levels again around the first week and they were starting to go up so it looks like I don’t have a problem absorbing.

I thought my anemia was getting better this week so yesterday I worked out. Didn’t bother me yesterday but today I can’t even walk for long without being weak and out of breath again, ugh. Did you have to stop working out during recovery as well? I’ve noticed every time I try my symptoms worsen the next few days.

You're welcome. You are early in the game. Great news that your levels are on the rise and your body is absorbing. Deficiencies take time to rebuild levels. I know it's tough not to worry, but allow yourself grace and patience along the way. Trial and error as far as the working out goes. Only you can gauge your body and its response. Maybe try making a schedule of workouts and have them time limited for now then gradually increase activity as tolerated. If you push too hard and feel repercussions, pull back the next time then start to build from there again. You may find a plateau for now.

My B12 became regulated through injections followed by supplements. Now I concentrate on a healthier more well balanced diet. So far so good.
