B12 Deficiency?

[VaishaliG]

Does anyone experience symptoms such as weakness in lower legs, shortness of breath and tingling in hands and feet.? Due to b12 deficiency?

I have all those Symptoms was diagnosed at levels below 140. what are your levels

[VaishaliG in reply to Dvpk24]

My b12 was 134 and Vit D - 10. I am able to do household chores now, (after 3 shots of injections) can stand for long time etc. But my thighs still feel very weak. Shortness of breath is reducing. And tingling is mostly at night while sleeping.

Yes, all of them - and more. The shortness of breath (and palpitations, in my case) can also be folate deficiency (which works in with B12) and zinc deficiency.

What about your weakness? Do you still experience weakness and fatigue?

[designer8 in reply to VaishaliG]

Now I’m getting all the correct vitamins and minerals (thanks only to a naturopath) those symptoms have mostly gone completely. I thought it was just B12, and so was only concerned with that, but it turned out it was everything! I eat really well, I just don’t absorb well.

[VaishaliG in reply to designer8]

Wow that's great. Naturopath is amazing. Can you let me also know what exactly do you follow? Even my body is not absorbing anything well. Otherwise my diet was fine

[designer8 in reply to VaishaliG]

I’m in Australia, so not sure what you can get where you are, but she has me on all the B vitamins, folinic acid (I can’t take folic acid or methyl folate), vitamin c powder, zinc, NAC, magnesium. There’s a lot! Get all your bloods done through someone who cares xx

Thank you so much for the info. I can def find some naturopath in India. Lets see. I will wait till I finish my other 2 dose of b12 injections

[VaishaliG in reply to Dawn45]

What treatment are you taking?

[VaishaliG in reply to VaishaliG]

Is it muscle weakness?

[pitney]

Yes and a whole lot more but did improve over time I now SI once a month

hope you feel better soon

[VaishaliG in reply to pitney]

Thanks ! 2 more shots remaining. Hope they work, especially my thigh muscles. They feel very weak.

How do you know if you had absorption issues? Is any testing done. Have they tested your Homocysteine or MMA before injections. I am not sure where you are in India but I saw a Neurologist in Hyderabad. PM me for any details. Also see a alternative medicine doctor who is experienced in these only otherwise it will be waste of money
