Burning feet

Hi so I have been getting b12 injections for 3 weeks now every other day. I have started to feel more energetic and generally well which is great. What is weird is this, before I was ever treated with injections I had burning feet for years. A typical symptom of PA I know, but the doctor never picked up on it. Anyway March this year I was put in folic tablets and the burning literally went away over night. Now all of a sudden last night I had burning feet. I don't understand why as I didn't have it for 6 months, am I deficient in something again or is this my body healing itself with b12? Oh also before I had folic tablets I had dry patches on my arms, they also went away but have come back this past week. I am taking folic alongside my b12 so I am confused perhaps I am low again ? Thanks for any replies

Perhaps the only way to tell is to get your Folate level tested. I think it's best not to have breakfast before the test as so many cereals contain folic acid.

I too have had burning feet, but mine are "permanent" and have to have the corner of the duvet pulled back at night. I also have Type 2 diabetes so I don;t know whether it's that that affects them or the P.A. I've had for 45 years.

Not what you're looking for?
