Hi, may I ask how you are doing now did the B12 help? I'm having all these symptoms and I'm very scared. This has progressed all over my body with tingling and weird sensations of numbness. I would love to hear back from you. Thank you so much.

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.

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?
