puppylove Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I don't have any ideas sorry. But I also get the same thing but only on my face and neck, so you are not alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sue1234 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 Definitely addressing low B-12 is a good first direction if your doctor suspects that. The other thing is read through the post I began, "Head/neck issues..." that I started a few days ago. I've been reading alot on how physical problems with the head(at the neck-junction area) and/or neck can affect all kinds of sensory issues. It might be worth your time to read up on these things to see if anything "fits". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Csmith3 Posted March 2, 2012 Report Share Posted March 2, 2012 I would be less confident on B12 if this has been a long term issue. That said, I can see why your doctor would err on the side of caution and start B12 injections just in case because there is no downside.When I ran my B12 levels very low, I did get some tingling and numbness but only at the very late stages of the deficiency which I think is the normal pattern of events. I generally felt very ill and had gradually deteriorated over about 18 months with ever worsening POTS symptoms. I don't know if that fits with your recent health issues. If it is B12, I reversed the deficiency in less than a month but the neurological symptoms arising from nerve damage took about 3 months to resolve. Again, I think that is a pretty normal version of events. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
