Replies to "How is your numbness? Did that reverse from B12? Are you taking it orally or injecting?"
My original number was 170. I have no idea how long it was at that level. Sigh. Apparently, I don’t absorb it well. I initially took injections, but then my neurologist said sublingual was just as good, so switched to that.
My smell/test disorder resolved a few months ago and they returned. (Sadly, the constant bitter taste remains)
The numbness in my feet has decreased substantially. I’m not celebrating yet, but I barely notice it anymore. The one intermittent burning spot on my rightfoot has subsided too. Only feel it slightly once a week.
What I do still get occasionally, is awaking to one of my hands feeling asleep. It wakes up when I move it. I don’t know if that is related or not. It only happens when in bed on one side….wondering if that is spine issue. Idk.
At the same time I have improved B12, I have also improved my a1c. I’m type 1. So…that can only help too. I additionally work out almost daily. The improvement could be attributed to one or a combination of factors.
What I do recall is that I received inconsistent answers as to whether the numbness in my feet could be reversed. I was very concerned. So, this is very exciting for me.
Now I’m hoping the bitter taste and hand issues can resolve. It’s been over a year.
