Vitamin B12 deficiency and small fiber neuropathy

I also had deficient in vitamin B 12 and have Neuropathy. I have numbness all over by body there is no feeling anywhere and is been 1 1/2 years ago and the numbness is still there. I took vitamin B12 under the tung how do you spell tongue, tongue, my tongue until it came up to normal. It didn’t work I was to far gone.
I’m sorry I hope it comes back for you.

Thank you for responding. I had a B12 test August 24. My B12 is 268. Normal range: 213 - 816 pg/mL. Mine is very low in the normal range. I am almost 63 years old, so I am post menopausal. I have next to none estrogen left in my body. However, I refuse to take estrogen in any shape or form. Actually I had a pelvic exam in July, and the doctor could "Visibly" see the thinning of my "V" walls.
I would like to share this with you as to possibly why I got"Out of nowhere" neuropathy symptoms:
***I was using MICONAZLE NITRATE
at the same time my skin sensations occurred.

DRUG CLASS: Miconazole is in a class of antifungal medications called IMIDAZOLES.

IMIDAZOLE side effects: The most common side affect is nausea/vomiting/loss of appetite/headache/hair loss and "PARESTHESIA".

PARESTHESIA symptoms: Burning/prickling sensation felt in hands, arms, legs,feet but can occur in other parts of body. The sensations, which happen WITHOUT WARNING & is usually painless describes as tingling, numbness,skin crawling, itching. In most cases the paresthesia is transient resolving on it's own in a few days, or weeks.In some cases the "Condition" as being persistent, lasting more than 6 months.A small amount of cases, it is permanent.
* This I know as fact,the symptoms described above are 100% exactly what I experienced to the T. I have never experienced in my life paresthesia until July 26, and it was without warning.
**My neuropathy is getting less. Once in awhile now I will get a brief "Itchs" randomly on my body. Just so you know, I told the ER & my Doctor I was actively using Miconazole Nitrate for my yeast infection. I did the research. On July 28, in detail I told ER my symptoms. I told them I was using Miconazole Nitrate suppositories. I told ER on August 24 the day the "Neuropathy" happened, I was using Miconazole Nitrate. No one put it together. Can I say this was the culprit? I am leaning on yes more than no. What are your thoughts? Oh, I am surprised the Hospital didn't advise me to start B12 since my B12 is very low, they said my B12 was fine. I am a measly 56 digits from actually being "Deficient".

Hi. Twice in my life I have had neuropathy symptoms (numbness arms) clincially apparent associated with low B 12. Both times were associated with protein pump inhibitor (PIP) usage for stomach issues. Both times my symptoms resolved with oral B12 supplementationl. I continue on oral B12 and try to minimize PIP usage. B12 levels are normal. I am now older and have subtle balance and lower leg proprioception issues (manageable). I walk slowly, turn slowly, do lots of walking and use a walking stick. I do wonder if any of my lower leg issues reflect the earlier B12 deficiencies, but there is no way of really knowing. Good luck to you.

I was diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy a year and a half ago. After a couple months, my doctor started B12 shots. My fatigue lessened but the neuropathy continues. I doubt it will get better for me. I hope you do well.
