Let me clarify- I initially went to my primary care doctor because of tingling in my hands and feet, she ordered some general bloodwork and did detect low B 12 so I started supplementing with that, after spine x-rays and MRIs, plus a brain MRI she suggested I see a neurologist since she didn’t know what was causing the symptoms which in the mean time were increasing from tingling to pain and burning by this point. The neuro. did the usual vibration and reflex tests then prescribed Metanx not knowing my B levels or any vitamin levels at the time. I had only taken it for about 7 to 10 days when I felt like all the nerves in my body were activated and painful, hard to describe but it definitely wasn’t helping me. Upon returning to my primary care doctor I asked to be checked for B1,B6 and B 12 again, the B 12 Was way too high so I had to reduce my supplement to one time a day.
So basically I have idiopathic neuropathy aka “don’t know the cause and there is no cure”
