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 agree with @trents, they should have run a total IgA.  What was the normal range for the DGP IgA test?  Different labs use different units thus have different normal ranges.

      Thanks for your assistance.

      Get your total IGA checked to make sure your celiac antibody test scores are trustworthy.

      I do eat 4 slices of wheat bread with almond butter. Yes it was a reference to my iron consumption. 
    • trents
      To give you a frame of reference for pretesting gluten consumption necessary to ensure valid antibody testing, here is the current recommendation for those who have been on a gluten free diet: The daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for at least two weeks. Not sure why you mentioned eggs and chicken. They are not sources of gluten. Was that in reference to dietary iron consumption?
