B12 deficiency leading to headaches & face tingling/numbness?

Hello @plo99ca, welcome. Sorry about your symptoms. Yes, I'm right there with you. I became B12 deficient and experienced headaches, numbness, tingling, electric zaps and more, in my face and body. It's a little scary at first when you don't know the why behind the what.
Nerves fire up and act out when they don't get enough B12. The good news is that with supplementation, symptoms may settle down and nerves may regenerate. Have you begun B12 supplementation?

How long before the symptoms fade away with supplementation?

Thank you Rachel. I started weekly injections for one month, hopefully that stabilizes my numbers a bit. If not then will go to B12 sublingual supplements daily. Interestingly, in speaking with 2 of my siblings (both in their 60's), they each also supplement B12, I had no idea. Perhaps there is a genetic link. I hope your symptoms have settled down.
