Vitamin B12 deficiency and small fiber neuropathy
Neuropathy | Last Active: Sep 10, 2023 | Replies (73)Comment receiving replies
Hello,
Has anyone out there tested positive for Bartonella and linked it with burning pain in the feet? I’ve had neuropathy for 19 months. At month 12, it was discovered I had low B12 and have been doing supplements. Things have gotten better but I still have very bad days. I went to see a functional medicine doctor and had a positive Bartonella test which she says caused burning pains in the feet. I’m on my 6th month of herbal treatment with her, but my neurologist thinks it’s a waste of time and money. He preaches patience and recovery through B12 supplements. Has anyone had a similar story? Thanks!

A neurologist told a friend I ran into that she had too much B6 in her system which was causing neurological issues. Some supplements just go through our system, our bodies use what we need and surplus goes through the bowels. Excess Vitamin B6 stays in the tissues for months or years. That’s why a good provider looks at our bloodwork and puts in our records all the supplements we take
