Vitamin B12 deficiency and small fiber neuropathy

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?
