Hi Rachel, i want to wish you a lovely trip next week and hope the magnesium will help. I often get leg cramps and creepy crawly feeling in my legs at night despite taking magnesium pills. I use a magnesium cream which works well and have also used the Hylands leg cramp pills which sometimes work on the jittery feelings. With regard to genetics, I thought I remember your mentioning your Mother having a chronic pain problem in the past which might shed some light on your current issues? It seems to me to be very unusual for just a vit. B deficiency to have gone undetected for so long as to cause such extreme health issues, I would not have been happy with my family care physician for having missed this. Helen

@helennicola Hi Helen. You are too sweet! Thank you for your advice, inquiry to my health and well wishes for my trip. Yes, my Mother had a motorcycle accident in 1978, broke both legs and has endured chronic pain ever since. While going through extensive testing to find an underlying cause to my Small Fiber Polyeuropathy diagnosis, genetic testing was performed. It concluded as unremarkable. I do know my migraines are hereditary as well as my cornea disease. As far as how my body has handled disruptions and became chronic....my thoughts are Chronic Pain Sensitization which maybe my neurologist will conclude in August when I see him, or, Mayo will have some revelation in October at the pain clinic. Til then, such is life. I try hard to remain optimistic and you folks here on Connect have been a huge help and inspiration to me. I cant thank everyone enough. 💕
