Neuropathy Numbness



Recommended Posts

I had the same problem numbness from the breast down with tingling and burning. I saw a neurologist who diagnosed it as a B12, thiamine, neuropathy . The symptoms went undiagnosed for so long, I'm now walking with a walker with permanent nerve damage. The pain was primarily in my feet and I first noticed it most when sitting to use the restroom. I am now doing rehabilitation 5 days a week. Do not ignore these symptoms.

How long did it go u diagnosed before your damadge became permenant? I'm trying to see another neurologist but the wait where I live is months long. There are only a few I'm the county. How did they treat you with Vitamins and in what strength number type and quantity? Thank You for your reply.

Well I had surgery April 22, I couldn't eat or keep Vitamins down. So I would say 12 weeks before I was diagnosed. I saw 6 providers, before being treated.

I take a liquid b Vitamin supplement I got at whole foods, as well as my Multivitamin flinstone ( it's all I can tolerate) and a liquid Calcium supplement

If any of you are experiencing tingling, burning, numbness that worsens at night or in the morning. I would recommend blood work immediately. Ask your doctor to check B1, B12, and Coper levels.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
