I am also not certain, however I seem to react excessively to all medications, but I assumed this was due to the B12 deficiency itself. Hopefully there is not another serious problem.

I'd see a doctor and make sure you don't have some other problem. Get an EKG, and a complete check up.
There is a blood test that checks for antibodies to parietal cells in the stomach, which make intrinsic factor.
Also get checked for H. pylori infection. This can give all sorts of weird symptoms.
Seeing a doctor is a good idea at this point.

Thank you, I will definitely do so. An infection from parasites does seem likely, although possible dietary deficiencies from a horrid past diet can be to blame, as well--E, A, calcium, iron, omega-3, DHA, magnesium, zinc, D, selenium just to name a few.
