Hi @shordae, I'm sorry you're experiencing nerve issues . It's understandable that you're scared from feeling odd symptoms through your body. I remember feeling the very same way when I started having nerve sensations
- numbness, electric shocks, tingles, skin burning. Fear is a natural response to something that you've never felt before and it's normal to have concern if you feel you are in harm. It's the good old fight or flight mode.
I was diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy from a B12 deficiency so the first thing I did was begin B12 shots weekly and after a few months I was able to go to a oral supplement. Neuropathy can in some cases be slowed down or reversed by supplementing B12 but a neurologist would be the best to explain to you how long something like that would take or if it was reversible. I take nerve medication now and I'm doing better. Have you seen a neurologist yet?
I also had deficient in vitamin B 12 and have Neuropathy. I have numbness all over by body there is no feeling anywhere and is been 1 1/2 years ago and the numbness is still there. I took vitamin B12 under the tung how do you spell tongue, tongue, my tongue until it came up to normal. It didn’t work I was to far gone.
I’m sorry I hope it comes back for you.
