I was put on a course of six injections straight away to bring up my levels. This has seemed to help with the fatigue. But i am still experiencing the shooting pains and weakness of my hands and legs. i see from other posts that people say that it can take a while for the nerves to repair.

I was just wondering whether anyone could help me with a couple of queries, firstly has anyone else experience completed numbness of one leg. My left leg will suddenly go completely numb for no apparent reason, when I walking or just sitting down.

Secondly after having the injection to boost my levels i have come out in what i can only describe a acne. I have spots all over my back, face and chest. I have never been a person prone to spots and now I seem to have hundreds break out after I have one of my injections. Just wondering if anyone else has had this type of reaction to the injections?
