Pains

[roxicat]

Hi, I was diagnosed with PA a year ago. I've got a vibrating in my feet like a mobile phone on vibrate, is this normal. Also just received my b12 injection and I've been in agony with my legs especially and my other joints. When I wake in the morning my hands are numb. Has anyone else suffered this. I'm also on blood thinners and have hypothyroidism and had 2 pulmonary embolisms.

With any change in your symptoms its worth getting them checked out especially with your other health problems.

I can relate to aching joints waking me up .

Also numbness.

Seems to have no pattern.

Definitely different from other aches and pains I've had before .

Do you think your treatment is correct?

Have you had recent blood tests included iron,vit D folate fbc

[roxicat in reply to Nackapan]

Yes I got the PA test, folate was also low received treatment for that. Have had low iron in the past. Have high uric acid. An old woman before my time.

What's your treatment regime like?

It does sound like you need alot more regular B12. Numb hands is a sort of mid-way point of healing so it definitely needs regular injections.

I still get buzzing in my spine and feet but its subsided eith regular injections.

[roxicat in reply to Pickle500]

One every 3 months

I think you need to push for more - you can ask for every 8 weeks.

Otherwise I'd consider self injection.

Many people here administer one injection a week, including me. Many do every other day.

You may want to consider every other day for a couple of weeks and then one a week. C

I pushed for 8 weekly for my 93 year old mum.A huge improvement.

Yes, I have PA and was experiencing that vibrating too. I explained it to my GP just as you have here. He upped my B12 injections from monthly to every other week and it has really helped. I rarely have vibrations any more. You could try an increase in frequency to see if it helps .
