Vitamin B12 deficiency and small fiber neuropathy

Posted by mikeg0822 @mikeg0822, Sep 23, 2022

Hi everybody,
I was hoping to possibly connect or receive advice. Has anybody been diagnosed with small fiber neuropathy caused by a vitamin B12 deficiency? I'm 28 years old and have always been healthy otherwise. I've never smoked, always maintained my fitness level, and have always had a relatively healthy diet. My B12 deficiency went unnoticed for 13 months, and I finally began getting treated for it about eight months ago. Doctors are hopeful I can recover but aren't sure. Does anybody have any experience with this? Any advice would be welcome. Thank you!

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.

I have body-wide neuropathy, and my B12 has been elevated for the last ten years (1,450 - 2,500) without supplementation. I haven't yet found a doctor to test me to see if the B12 is merely circulating in my bloodstream and not being absorbed at the cellular level. I have read that elevated levels of vitamins in the blood can mean they are not being assimilated.
