I am improving I hope

Hi, I don't have P.A. but neurological symptoms. It started as itching in upper feet alone for almost an year. I mistook it as dey skin. Then a slight tingling ( once or twice) around may end of 2021. Immediately I checked my B12 . Yes it was 166. Luckily I am not anaemic. But slight lower end, at the iron panel. But the Dr asked me to get a B12. That is it. He didn't even suggest me the dosage. After so much confusion on june12/21 I started taking 3000 Mcg cyanocobalamin and after few weeks I started 3000 McG methylcobalamine sublingual. Just because my itching doesn't get better and little tingling also, I started B12 drops from July 15.Stop. Until this point I used to walk 7 km daily. Even 18 km daily at the end of June for 3 days.

After shifting to B12 drops the burning started. I never experienced that before. I took a online test . B12 raised upto 860. But it was still burning. So I went to another doctor at the end of July. She suggested me injection. Usual dosage. daily for 7days+1 for 4 weeks+1 for 4 months.

Now I finished 7 and waited for a week. Tuesday is going to be my first after a week.

The think is during the 7 injections I went through hell. Increased burning in hands too, restless and cold feet and hands, nervesness in genitals same like urinal track infection, blocked right ear and now hissing sound. Totally disturbed sleep.But after that during this past one week without injection I feel little bit better. Burning reduced at least intensity and duration. But during this period slight numbness in hands mostly, rarely at feet, two time at lips during sleep started now and little bit improvement in the sleep. Every day seems a little bit better but not fully. Hightened awareness still on extremities. Hope it's the same as you mentioned. Hightened activity because of dosage.

I hope I found out in the early stage. Right?

As you told I never stopped walking and working out. Though the time reduced a bit I never stopped exercising. I didn't feel fatigue. Maybe because I don't have P.A. but the burning feet drain all my energy. Now I am afraid about the next injection, worrying what if the symptoms got worse again.

Please tell me I will be alright. All I wanted is to resume my walking as always. Help me God.
