Yesterday was brutal. Woke up with my head pounding like a construction site after Dave’s birthday bash. Dry mouth, dizzy when standing, and zero energy – classic hangover hell. Then I remembered someone mumbling about B12 fixing this mess. Figured, why not test it myself?
The Setup Phase
Dragged myself to the kitchen around 8 AM. Found this B12 spray my sister left last month – cherry flavored, whatever. Grabbed a glass of water too since everyone shoves “hydrate!” down your throat. Setup was simple: just the spray bottle, water, and my dying self on a stool.
Taking the Damn Thing
Read the bottle: “Spray once under tongue, hold 30 seconds.” Did exactly that. Tasted like fake candy mixed with metal. Chased it with half the water glass immediately. Felt nothing apart from the nasty aftertaste. Swallowed hard and sat there waiting for magic.
The Waiting Game
Ten minutes in – still felt like garbage. Checked my pulse, weirdly normal. Head still banging. Drank the rest of the water slowly. Tried eating dry toast – barely got half down. At the 20-minute mark, my stomach settled a bit. Less queasy? Could’ve been the water or toast though.
Mid-Morning Check-in
Around 10 AM, forced myself to shower. Surprisingly, didn’t feel dizzy under hot water. Headache dulled from a jackhammer to a mild throb. Energy levels? Still trash. But the nausea completely vanished. Small win? Maybe.
Final Verdict Time
By noon, I was functional enough to microwave leftovers. Not bouncing off walls, but the death-feeling lifted. Here’s my breakdown:
- Headache: Lingered but weakened noticeably after 90 minutes
- Nausea: Gone within an hour, biggest relief
- Energy: Barely changed, still napped at 2 PM
- Dry mouth: Water fixed this, not B12
Honestly? It helped some parts faster than just waiting it out. But it ain’t no cure-all. Took ⅓ of the misery away tops. Would I use it again? Sure – but with low expectations. Next time I’m trying eggs and a walk. Maybe avoid drinking like a fish first? Nah, probably not.
