shiela23, do a search "pins and needles thiamine" You may have a thiamine and magnesium deficiency. as thiamine needs magnesium to become bioactive. A form of thiamine called Benfotiamine's higher absorption delivers greater thiamine levels than water soluble forms. In addition both thiamine and magnesium are needed for ATP production. The B vitamins work better together and sublingual methylcobalamin (B12) is another important for nerve and platelet health. This link provides information on Anti Thiamine Factors. The second has an extensive list for magnesium loss near the end of the article. Consult with your health care provider before using any supplement.

vitamin b12 and magnesium should i take every day????

[Pte82 in reply to shiela23]

shiela23, it's best to consult your health care advisor for your specific needs. Generally speaking, both can be supplemented daily in addition to dietary sources. B12 is a water soluble vitamin and does not build up in the body. Most B-Complex supplements do not contain the methylcobalamin or hydrocobalamin form of B12 that repair nerves. The second link contains information on daily magnesium allowance. It also covers other important information about magnesium. I hope they wet your appetite for more study on both. You will be rewarded by beginning in the brain.

Yes, I get stabbing in different places. Since being a child I have had this to some degree but was only diagnosed with MDS/MPN two years ago and according to my GP I can't have had it for much longer than that because it didn't show up on blood tests for other things.
