SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME!!!

Post by Brittybean85 »

Good Afternoon

I need help more than ever. I am 31 years old and have been feeling sick for a few years. Things have gotten much worse. I have weakness in my legs, numbness, severe fatigue all the time, muscle pain, joint pain, heat/cold intolerance (besides getting severely overheated my muscles feel like they are getting electrocuted. , the list goes on forever. Well i have been to countless doctors and been told everything from ms, fibromyalgia, arthritis, lupus etc. My last visits were with a neurologist. I had an MRI which showed some white spots, and of my c spine which showed some degeneration. He was thinking MS but was not sure so decided to go ahead and do blood work and a spinal tap. The blood work came back with a total depletion of vitamin b1 b2 and b12 so he put me on vitamins for that. then he talked about the spinal. First off my protein was very high and for the oligoclonial bands its said that my csf has multiple restriction bands but they were also in my serum. I am so frustrated things are getting worse every day but i can not get an answer. Ms runs in my family. It is really depressing when you know your sick and nobody can figure it out I would love if anyone had any ideas of whats going on with me. if you do please let me know i feel like its my last hope. I feel like its time to do research on my own. I hope you all are having a pain free day!

B12 deficiency alone can explain your symptoms including the spots on the MRI. Low B12 causes demyelination which is why MS shows up on an MRI in the first place.

Make sure you're taking methylated B12, by the way, and take it several times a day not just once.
