stephbgDay 1: tiny pinch of powdered oral B12 blended in with porridge. Some small fraction of 250mcg. I now have some very suspicious white powder in my kitchen and was wondering how to store it. I have a tiny snap-lock plastic bag that would do the trick, perhaps too well.
Update: About 4 hours in and I'm definitely reacting *sigh*. Like a prickly heat rash in various sites, most annoyingly on the face. Eyes are stinging a bit now too.
I have noticed, however, that I'm not as sensitive to pain as usual. I was carrying some small heavy boxes and normally where the corners dig in would have been much more painful. I can lightly bounce my hand off the corners of furniture without distress (I should probably stop doing that).
Perhaps the B12 is providing enough stimulation to prevent my nervous system from over-reacting to the tiniest of pain signals? A classic counter-irritant? This would be great if I can stand the irritation factor which is rapidly becoming bloody irritating. I've certainly got a lot done today, although there was some caffeine involved.
I think I'll give myself a couple of days off before I try the next mini-dose.
