Yes, I am experiencing tingling in my calves and feet. I thought it could be a B-12 deficiency because I'm having other symptoms of that as well. So, I've been taking B-12 for a couple of days....not long enough to feel a difference yet though. Are you on any meds.? It could be a side effect of one of your meds. perhaps. Are you having any other symptoms?

Hi I get some tingling, cramps and a almost numb feeling in my arms particularly as well as some muscle weakness, my Dr believes it is as a result of my medication. Because it is not so bad to i have at the moment decided to live with that rather than try and change meds as the meds are working at leveling my LFT finally. I'd definately check your possible side effects but also get a Dr's input.

Take care and good luck.

Thanks. I have been tested for B12 deficiency and it's no that. I may just have to live with it, I think.

Hi Jaqueline,

I just got my results back and it's not B12 deficiency for me either. My doctor did say that it could be a side effect of the meds though. So, I think you may be right....just another thing we have to live with. Don't know about you, but I sure do miss feeling good....didn't realize how great I had it!

Take care,

Karen
