Yes ,my primary care physician thinks exactly like that! That this is related to vitamin B12 deficiency …
Really, could it manifest like that? Pain,,burning and needles all over?
And if it is-well…
Hopefully, it’s still treatable.and reversible:)
but my symptoms started year ago with some kinda acute low abdomen pain. -still -unknowing origin.
I didn’t know what was my level of B12 then. I have heard that metformin can cause vitamin B12 deficiency . But usually it is happening several years on the row.. She prescribed me B12 injections-first , she said, once in month. Now- every day for a week, and after-once in week 3 times and I am taking vitamins too now:)
It just strange, how suddenly and strong it started and how quickly progressing…
Like-everyday-something new. I am having pain in places that I never had before…
Also, about ANA-she said-positive ANA does not appear to be significant.
Actually, I am scheduled to start treatment in this clinic -NEuropathy treatment clinic of Texas next week. But I didn’t have a consultation there yet.
My insurance supposed to cover it.
Do you think I should postpone it? Of course, would be better to see doctor before, but-You see, I can’t see neurologist soon. Maybe- best case scenario-in couple month only.
Pain is getting stronger , gabapentin it’s not helping much, I am waking up with numbness fingers..
So- obviously I am worried and want to try something, until it’s not too late.
Year ago , all I was taking, just Exedrin sometimes-for a headache …:(
Thank you for your answer!
