I have B12 defeciency and now getting monthly injections. Have had a lot of neurological issues and pins and needles and nerve pain in the feet and mostly my left side of the body. I now have intercranial pressure. Is this related to the defeciency? Docters doesnt seem to know why it started… thank you

I wasnt falling over but felt off balance and had no working reflexes. Had a mri for brain and spine because neorologist thought it was MS. Some white small legions. Had a lumbar punch and the pressure was 21. Not so high but was told to loose weight to manage that. After all the tests i finally had a vit b12 defeciency. I just feel upset that this was never detected earlier. I had these symptoms for 4 years. But as the docters told me when i asked. They say I dont present like someone with this deficiency. I am not thin, dont have sores in the mouth and more. I still dont know why it happened. I dont have dietery restrictions. I had a stomach scope and colonoscopy 2 years ago, all normal. Anyway doest help to feel angry. Need to accept and adapt and carry on with treatment.
