Has anyone got links between low vitamin b12 and endo?

Well....more crappy admin from the gp surgery.

I have more issues and have spoken to a different clinician in MSK who suggests my pins and needles in my arms are not my herniated disks in my neck (mri confirmed) but more than likely vitamin b12 deficiency which apparently! can explain some other symptoms but can go hand in hand with endometriosis (waiting for a lap...been over a year now on waiting lst😥)

Does anyone have knowledge of this or the same symptoms?

Feel like I'm getting lead down the garden path a bit.

Hi,

I have endometriosis and was constantly tired and achy all the time for a good 6 months. It turned out to be B12 deficiency. Now I have B12 injections and feel like a whole different person!

Hya I have just had blood tests taken , one of them being b12 , not had results Yet . I get awfull Brain fog , legs feel strange, pins and needles and numbness in fingers and toes also tingling all over body . pains everywhere sometimes. My doctor did say it could also be fibromyalgia. I’m in the process of diagnosis for endometriosis. MRI showed adhesions and very suggestive deep infiltrating endometriosis. Waiting for a lap iv been transferred to endometriosis specialist now . Feel so fatigued with it all aswell , have you had blood tests ? X

My GP couldn’t say exactly that it was linked but seeing as I had anemia when my endo was at its worst she thought it was probable. It’s worth having a blood test. Even if it isn’t link you will feel better with a little more B12!
