Neuropathy Numbness



Recommended Posts

I had the same problem numbness from the breast down with tingling and burning. I saw a neurologist who diagnosed it as a B12, thiamine, neuropathy . The symptoms went undiagnosed for so long, I'm now walking with a walker with permanent nerve damage. The pain was primarily in my feet and I first noticed it most when sitting to use the restroom. I am now doing rehabilitation 5 days a week. Do not ignore these symptoms.

How long did it go u diagnosed before your damadge became permenant? I'm trying to see another neurologist but the wait where I live is months long. There are only a few I'm the county. How did they treat you with Vitamins and in what strength number type and quantity? Thank You for your reply.

Well I had surgery April 22, I couldn't eat or keep Vitamins down. So I would say 12 weeks before I was diagnosed. I saw 6 providers, before being treated.

I take a liquid b Vitamin supplement I got at whole foods, as well as my Multivitamin flinstone ( it's all I can tolerate) and a liquid Calcium supplement

If any of you are experiencing tingling, burning, numbness that worsens at night or in the morning. I would recommend blood work immediately. Ask your doctor to check B1, B12, and Coper levels.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
