Burning feet

It's only two months the itching of feet has been started and only 15 days the burning of feet and hands started. After oral B12 (3000mcg) it came up to 860 from 166. Is it too much dosage? I shifted from sublingual to drops. After shifted to drops the burning started. Or I assumed like that. How much time it takes to heal? I don't have any other symptoms except burning of extremities. But it's worse or I am not a strong person. Really devasted. Thought it would be nice to go away from the world. I think this feeling also another symptom.

When people post about the feeling of burning, especially of feet, I quite often post this link.

It is getting on a bit but nonetheless it does give an overview of the causes of burning feet. And I have not seen a more recent article which I could use instead.

If anyone knows of a better or more recent article/paper, please do let me know.

Don't get disheartened. I think that sometimes we get used to numbness -after all, that isn't painful is it ? - and then get nerve tingling, shooting pains, prickling as nerves wake up and repair.

I can't comment on oral or sublingual dose - or what will work for you. I don't have a medical background. Is a GP monitoring your progress ? Checking your ferritin, folate, vitamin D ? If If B12 is low, these can also be low.

Have a look at symptoms lists compiled by responses from those with B12 deficient (not the ones that just talk about a beefy tongue, large red blood cells and tiredness) - try the Pernicious Anaemia Society website for example. You will see that B12 deficiency has far-reaching effects acknowledged - physical, mental and emotional.

A feeling of wanting to be alone, away from people, is quite common. Sometimes it can be due to sensory overload which makes competing noise, lights, peripheral movements difficult to faze out / prioritise. Can feel confusing, unbearable and can also make you irritable, impatient and misunderstood. A lot of effort required to cope.

All of this takes time to get better. When I feel like this, I take a long walk alongside the river when the tide is out. Few people, no need to think/talk if you don't choose to, just being in the moment - it recharges my batteries. Like a day off.

Don't go too far or make yourself lonely.
