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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
