What was your B-12 number from bloodwork? Approx six months ago I woke up with sore calves and few days later tingling in feet forearms and calves. Went to doc and they tested for B-12 and was 190 which from what I understand anything under 200 is considered deficient especially if it has been there for awhile. Fast for ward to today and I do have many of the symptoms you describe. Lots of nerve pain full body tingling including face. I do have some neuropathy I am being treated for in the feet but minor. I guess low B-12 can damage nerves. Has your doc given you a shot and are you on oral supplements??

Have you been tested for small fiber neuropathy?

My test came back at 146, very low. I am on weekly B12 injections now for one month to see if the B12 level will stabilize.

The strange thing is that one doc tested my B12 and it was 146... then another tested 2 weeks later and it was normal. Weird.
