Still on the sober train 🙌 thank goodness!

After another lot of normal bloods and a normal ultrasound which I am relieved about.... I’m still feeling totally rotten and I no it may sound silly but not myself in the slightest, it’s like nothing bothers me anymore & personality wise I feel so odd. Upper right, centre and left tummy pain, feeling bloated, red burning hands and feet, heart palpitations and dizziness, severe aching limbs and just generally feeling awful! Anyways my question is, where do I go from now regarding the doctors I don’t no what to ask for etc I no in myself something just isn’t right. X

Congrats on being sober! Have you had B12 checked?

Can attribute to the soreness, digestion, dizziness, palpitations, etc.

Thank you so much for the reply! I’m not actually sure, will definitely look into it x

I have a lot of those symptoms and have done for 18months it’s been horrible physically and mentally, just had recent bloods done and am really low in B12 and folate, for some reason these have never been tested at all my other blood tests. I’m hoping this is too blame for how awful I’ve been feeling and not my liver which I’m convinced it is but a ultrasound says my liver is fine

Hope you get some answers soon

Very well done still being on the sober train, it really is the best train to be on, just wish I’d done it earlier!

Hi Hayley been reading your posts, what did your go prescribe for b12 and folate deficiency?Hopefully u will see some improvement soon.

Thanks x

[Spoons20 in reply to Kljo]

I’m taking folic acid each day and cyanocobalamin 3 times a day for B12

I’ve had further blood test today to determine if I can carry on with tablet form or need injections

I’ve been dieting really quite strict and lost a lot of weight, I’m hoping it’s that that could be responsible for the deficiency and not an underlying health issue

Thank you for your well wishes xx

I have bought some b12 tablets too as I’m having same issues as you. What mg tablets are the ones ur taking?Do u notice ur loosing lots of hair I do?

[Spoons20 in reply to Kljo]

That's a bit strange,I was told after a year that I had changed in my personality,just feel more confident and don't care what people think are say,had prib with hands and feet really itchy especially at night,odd bloating in the morning ,liver specialist told me in sept 2020/ just exercise and eat well,should have been seeing a dietician not for weight but dirverticolosis,never saw one,oops they forgot,! ,he said your liver is amazing at healing ,!! So I just had aboit a cup of blueberries,a day,ate rich protein food,red meat high in iron,with orange juice as it helps absorb it,stopped a lot of my meds without gp knowing and I felt better,not suggesting that,just had enough of feeling crap,2 yr 7 months ish now off beer,didn't find it too hard really, loads of other stuff going on,!!,I was very direct with my consultant Monday and I think it supprised him,my attitude,he requested a GGt,I'm 100% confident he won't find anything untoward, spend most of my days now out jogging ,walking,even oil painting,lasting problem is I can't sleep, still awake now and been up since 7.30am,walked 9 mile,hope that helps a bit,if not at least it has kept you busy reading for a while,take care it does get better,
