Regained Sensitivity to Heat

[MoKayD]

I think just had a surprising development in my recovery from B12 deficiency. For the past 5 years or so I seemed to have lost much of my ability to feel hot temperatures with my fingertips. I used to joke that I had teflon fingers. Well, yesterday I was ironing and when I picked up the shirt to move it to another section my fingers hurt. I was shocked by the sensation. The same thing happened with hot water when I was washing dishes. I think this must be another sign of nerve recovery. I hadn't thought about the loss of sensation in my fingertips as being a problem until now. Interesting.

Oh that is good news!

Yep me too

Used to fish tea bag out of cup by hand but starting to feel it again. Never been so pleased to have pain!

I agree, I was so happy to feel the pain. I guess I'm going to have to be more careful now.

Maybe this is why my husband screams any time he puts his hands in my dish water?

I didn't realise how much sensitivity I had lost in my hands and feet until they started recovering. I used to say I had asbestos fingers!

[MoKayD in reply to Showgem]

I wonder how many other sensations we lost and have yet to recover?

Are you managing to get this recovery on the standard UK 3 monthly injections?

[MoKayD]

No, I'm in the U.S. I get my shots every three weeks or so. Whenever I feel like I need one.
