What is causing my tingling and numbness in my feet (off and on). I also notice temperature changes in my feet and hands. Something is out of whack. What should i have checked out. My eyes are also really sensitive lately (red,dry,tired,dizzy).

Annoying isn't it? I hated that feeling. Especially when I couldn't hang on to things anymore. Are you taking a sublingual B12? gluten-free of course. B12 is needed for the neural pathways to function properly. Add this in to your vitamin regime today and see if it helps.

Another thing you should check for if you haven't already is diabetes, in particular if you are peeing a great deal, tired, thirsty, having blurred vision and or craving sweets.

Hi,

I had horrible peripheral neuropathy -- huge burning areas on my thighs where I could hardly stand to have even the lightest fabric touch it.

Then I got tetanus.

I had a lot of B12 shots because that was all there was for several months... long story... and low and behold the peripheral neuropathy went away.

It's come back recently when there was a lot of stress. Not in my thigh, but in my feet. Bad burning, so that I can't sleep.

I had forgotten my B12 shots.

But I caught up and it's almost okay again...

The sublingual Methylcobalamin is as good as shots... it actually regrows nerves. : )

Vitamin B deficiency is good reason for this..but don't discount this as being a symptom of other health problems like diabetes so please get checked out by doctor anyway.

Hi,

I was not surprised to learn that a lot of people with diabetes and loss of feeling in their feet are low on vitamin B12.

Before I had the shots I got a stick jabbed into my foot near my chicken coop. I felt the injury, because of the impact, I think.

But then I forgot about it until my foot was "suddenly" hugely swollen and so painful I could hardly stand.

Okay, so lots of Epsom salts and Hydrogen Peroxide soaks later, the infection went away.

At that time my feet were not ticklish at all. I couldn't feel things touching them.

And recently when I had all the stress, one night when I was getting into bed I noticed a huge blister on my left foot... which I had not felt. And I didn't feel the alcohol when I cleaned it.

So I had three vitamin B12 shots the next day, and my feet were still burning at night when I wanted to sleep.

Now they are almost okay again.

Vitamin B12 (methylcobalamin if you are not having the shots) will make an improvement if a lack of it is the problem.

Since it is not a vitamin that builds up in our systems and causes danger, it is a good idea to try the Methylcobalamin lozenges and see if they help.

If they do, then you know B12 deficiency was the problem.

      I’m having this type of MRI this afternoon,  What specifically do you want to know?  From what I’ve read, not all facilities use the same drink prep.

      Hi I've been told I need a MRI on my bowels , I was booked for a colonoscopy, but because of my sever back issues and trapped nerve it can't be done , the nurse told me I will have to have a manitol drink a hour before the scan , I'm just a bit worried has I have issues with sweeteners like even a little,  I get a weird throat and ears and I've read it is a similar substance , not sure if anyone has had one of these scans or could give me some advise on the drink prep thanks in advance 😄

      Hi all ! Can a celiac attack be so intense that it causes your entire body to work in reverse? Meaning really bad pain,  neuropathy and muscle,  jaw pain,  the stomach issues , Horrible anxiety and confusion??  I had a Tums and you would think I ate poison. My jaw and stomach did not like it . Not the norm for me. Things that are simple are just out of control. Anyone ever have this happen??  I'm trying to figure out what I ate or did to bring on a celiac like attack. I had an idea before but yesterday I didn't have any gluten unless it was in a medication ?! Any positive suggestions ??  Thank you

      The following two lists are very helpful for anyone who is gluten sensitive and needs to avoid gluten when shopping. It's very important to learn to read labels and understand sources of hidden gluten, and to know some general information about product labelling--for example in the USA if wheat is a possible allergen it must be declared on a product's ingredient label like this: Allergens: Wheat.
