Had bloods this morning and now I am burning from head to toe, but feeling shivers too, feel wiped out and numbness terrible, body is in agony especially my legs and chest, also does anyone get facial numbness? Shortness of breath is off the scale also, really need the doctors to listen to me I am scared for my life! My last bloods were around 8 weeks ago and I didn’t feel this bad afterwards.

I'm sorry you feel so ill

Yrs I did have awful facial numbness. I still do a little but more across my nose and forehead now.

Shortness of breath is horrid as is all tour other symptoms.

Hopefully your bloods will show something to act on. Make sure you discuss the results with your doctor.

Hi nackapan, I’m on zapain anyway but it does nothing for the pain at all,I’m not currently taking any b12 as about 8 weeks ago my level was 277 so doctors said I wasn’t deficient, 8 weeks ago I had very slight neuropathy and now it’s constant even my spine is numb, it’s so terrifying, I’ve had shortness of breath for around 6 months, back then the doctors said I had vitamin d deficiency after I asked them to check it as I thought I did, that’s when all this started, I was tired all the time they thought I had covid and gave me an antibiotic which I didn’t know until I took it the second time I was allergic to as the first time I took it they thought I was allergic to steroids, anyway within a day of taking it I went numb etc, but after a few months and another antibiotic which messed my stomach up it all kind of died down but I had GERD symptoms so I took a ppi for around a week this only made my symptoms much much worse so I stopped, and now even probiotics make me ill, have been sensitive to meds since taking the antibiotic the first time around 4 years ago, I used to be ok with meds, anyway sorry for the novel and thank you for responding.
