@nikkig -
You might want to consider being tested for gluten issues. If you have gluten intolerance or celiac disease, it causes malabsorption and that could be contributing to a Vitamin B deficiency. Stress also can cause gluten problems to start. This happened to me with the stress of going through my first surgery, and within a year the gluten in grains caused a leaky gut due to inflammation which created a lot of other food allergies that I live with. I had to figure things out with an elimination diet because at the time years ago. no doctor would listen to me or test me for gluten intolerance and I was told that I couldn't have this because I looked too good (not being emaciated from long term malabsorption). Stopping that and other foods that cause allergies helped a lot, and I get pretty sick if I have accidental exposure. Avoiding all my food issues stopped my unexplained pain. Here is some information. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/celiac-disease/symptoms-causes/syc-20352220

Was tested with celiac, with a negative result. I can barely eat anything right now, partly due to being off my meds and partly because food is intolerable at this point. They gave me Lizness, but that is it. I am having an endoscopy/colonoscopy on Monday, then a gastroemptying test. I am also scheduled to see a neurologist. Trying to take it one day at a time. It's scary. I went from fine to being very, very ill.
