B12 deficiency leading to headaches & face tingling/numbness?

Posted by plo99ca @plo99ca, Mar 3, 2023

I was recently found to have very low levels of B12. Has anyone else experienced strange symptoms from low B12? My recent symptoms included daily headaches and face tingling/numbness and a feeling of being generally unwell. Would love to hear from others with B12 deficiency symptoms.

There is a gene, MTHFR, that affects B12. My family has a few people that need B12 shots regularly and have this gene variation.
Best of luck to you.

My daughter, husband and I all have MTHFR and have to supplement B12 as the methylated form along with Folate (not folic Acid). It comes as a chewable pill.
Have you had your Homocystine checked? Ours was high due to this genetic issue before we started taking the correct form of B12 and Folate.
