Could this have been happening this long without me realising?

Thinking about my current position. Five or six years ago it was winter and I went to bed with a hot water bottle because of lower back pain and when the program I was watching went off I went to top up the water bottle my partner at the time said you have a massive burn on your back that was raw red that had removed layers of skin. I never felt a thing. I used to suffer a lot with pins and needles. And slight twitching. The odd leg cramp. I was given methacarbamol at the Dr's. And sent away. I began to lose some sensation in my feet. I just brushed this all off as anxiety. Could this have been the start of the decline? I was on metformin and antacids at the time. Now I can stick a pin in my arm from wrist to elbow without feeling it. Now si and can feel pins and needles in arms and legs.

Interesting, but packed with mythology, especially the magical effects of methylfolate and methylcobalamin.

I would find it hard to believe that it was anything but years of B12d.

So frustrating, isn't it?

I had 20+ years of deficiency symptoms and have steadily improved over the last 4 years since I have been SI. There's some hope for you.
