Hi, @nikkig, and welcome back to Connect. Glad to have you here. I merged your post with this one as there are many members here talking about neuropathy with whom I thought you'd like to interact.

I can hear some urgency in your post, and I'm sorry that you are now dealing with digestive issues, feeling very depressed and have anxiety through the roof, plus have been taken off your diabetes meds.

Here are a few threads you also might want to check out:

- About diabetes: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/type-two-diabetes/, if you have Type II, or https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/type-1-surprise/, if you have Type I

- About gastroparesis: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/gastroparesis/

- About depression: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/depression-3/

Hoping that members like @jjwest @johnbishop @oldkarl @hosta @steeldove and others may have some insights for you as you are dealing with the neuropathy along with the other health concerns.

You'd mentioned previously, @nikkig, experiencing some pins and needles, numbness and sleeping problems. Is this what you are still seeing with your neuropathy, or are you having some different symptoms currently?

Yes, and the symptoms all came at once...like a hurricane. The hands / arms were really bad but after the vitamin b 12 have been better. My stomach still having a lot of problems. I really think this all links back to the years of a vitamin deficiency and my doctor's negligence not to test me for it while giving me Metforim, which he said had almost no side effects. I am so mad at myself.
