I take 1000 or vitamin b-12 once a month under the tongue so that is can dissolve into by body and 3000 IU's of vitamin D daily. Neither seems to help. I have asked my doctor about vitamin B shots but she say insurances do not cover that these days and that she wanted to wait until my next test resu...

yes vitamin b-12 was 306 and vitamin D 23.1.

The symptoms started two years ago when my face started tingling and going numb and my lower back started to hurt. From there then slowly started to have all the other symptoms. I have tingling/numbness in my face (hurts to smile) face feels swollen but no signs of it on the outside or inside, hands...

Well I went to a third neurologist who believes that I have Firbromaglia but still not sure that is what I have. I have changed medications from gabapentin to Lyric but I am still having most of the same symptoms. The pain is not as bad over all but when it is bad you might as well forget about me d...

Went to a second neurologist and he seems to think that I have fibromalgia but I am still not sure. I had a sleep study done and do not have sleep apena. This is so frustrating and is getting on my last nerve. I do have a moon shaped face and the red/purple stretch marks but had a 24 hour urine test...

I have an appointment on Wednesday this week (8/26/15) with a third neurologist. Not sure what to think anymore since I have really been tested for everything under the sun. I just hope to one day have a diagnoises so whatever is going on I can take care of it and myself better. Frustation is the na...

Well I took the kind of B12 that dissolves under your tongue so that it can get into your blood stream. She said wait a month after taking it and then see if my symptoms go away. They did not. She did not retest my vitamin B12 levels at that time. I asked the doctor if I need to take it everyday and...

I have also had a small fiber nerve biopsy done and that came back normal. I have also been having problems with seeing things blurry and have to re-focus on things a lot. My eye sight was recently checked and nothing was wrong with it. I have started swimming for exercise but even that does not hel...

Well I did what the doctor told me to do. I took the vitamin B-12 1000 mcgs once a month and did not make any of my symptoms better. At this point have been moved from 75 mlgs twice a day on Lyrica to 150 mlgs twice a day for the pain. This to me just feels like a band-aid placed on a bullet hole; i...

It seems that hot showers and baths seem to make the symptoms worse. I heard a story not sure if it is true or not that in the past MS was diagnoised by putting someone in a hot bath to see if there symptoms got worse. Is this true? My legs this moring feel heavy and like stone. The good news is I a...

All of these blood test and functions have been checked: Vitamin B12 and folate levels kidney functions Vasculitis evaluation fasting blood insulin test Antibodies to nerve components (e.g., anti-MAG antibody) Antibodies related to celiac disease (I think this is VERY important, as well as a mannito...

I also found out that hot baths make the tingling, numbness, and pain get worse so I am not sure if heat is a trigger or if any of this could be important or not. Just trying to keep everything in the its possible stage because I don't want to miss anything when I speak to my doctor so that they hav...
