Are the B12 supplements making me tired?

Hi. I was told last week that my B12 levels were at 150 but I tested negative for pernicious anemia. My doctor said it was because of the gastritis that I have been suffering from for months that has caused a drop in B12.

I have been prescribed oral supplements of B12 and folic acid to take for a few months. I started taking these on Tuesday and since then I have been EXHAUSTED!! I never sleep during the day but that's all I have been doing this week. Now that my gastritis is settling I was hoping to get back into fitness but I'm just too tired! Even more tired than before the supplements!

Are these linked or is it just a coincidence? Thanks.

    Fight for yourself, print articles, take the book Could It Be B12, anything.  I was forced to s ll my companies and retire.  I have constant symptoms, I have numbness, right now my teeth hurt it my dentist said all is good. 

    This kills your body so fight to live a good life.  I have an amazing pain tolerance but for as long as I can, I want to enjoy myself and bring joy to others.  I have two beautiful grandson.  I don't want to be a Whitney tired grandmother.  

    I am tired, in pain and I am only 58.  I am to young to feel like this. 

    I employ my my doctor to listen to me and help me. I live in Dallas, Texas and I pay large amounts to keep myself upright. 

    Keep a positive outlook and fight for you.  You are worth it.
