FND and pernicious anaemia/b12 deficiency

[kisywisy]

i was diagnosed with FND yesterday, but i also have pernicious anaemia (which was discovered months ago). i don't understand it. the neuro said if the nerves had been damaged to the extent of my symptoms, it would be visible on the mri so, now i'm told i have FND.

the neuro agreed for me to have an evoked potential to check there wasn't a physical block in the nerves, but thinks it will come back clear.

one of the neuro tests he did on my leg, i noticed Hoover's sign, which blew me away. my leg that i can't move properly, worked when i DIDN'T consciously try. so, i believe the diagnosis...i think. i'm just confused. where do the symptoms of b12 def end and FND begin??

You're confused. If find someone who thinks they can work it out, tell me!

[scruffycat]

The trouble is someone might think they can, then they disappear for a long time! B12 seems to come up often, can I have some please

I think F.N.D and pernicious anaemia in some cases come together but I would suggest you look at

fndhope.org to find the information you need. I found it helped me

The Sydney Adventist Hospital in Sydney, Australia has done a lot of research into Vitamin B12 because Seventh-day Adventists are encouraged to be vegetarians…a risk factor for B12 deficiencies. Here is a link to a Info pack that should be useful… (also do a Google search on

[Sydney Adventist Hospital B12] to find more interesting links) …
