Please consider whether your numbness in your extremeties and pain on the left side of your face could be warning signs of an eventual stroke. I would discuss this possibility with my doctor.

I had numbness and tingling in my hands and feet, then it moved up my legs, then I became incontinent. Also had migraines and acne-like problems and felt terrible.

It turned out to be pernicious anemia, which meant that my stomach wasn't producing an enzyme necessary to absorb b-12, so I was b-12 deficient. I got b-12 shots for about ten years. Now I take intrinsi b-12 made by metagenics and bought at a chiropractor's office. I havn't found it in vitamin stores.

I'm totally fine if I take the pills, and I had three kids -- it didn't seem to affect the pregnancies.

Good luck!

I had all of these signs (itching, tingling, aching, jumpy legs, sore joints etc etc. Way before I found out...

I have has neuropathy for 18 years, it was caused first by kidney disfunction, and finally when I lost my kidneys due to alports syndrome my legs and hand went completely numb.

Diabetics are usually the highest risk for contracting nueropathy but any chemical defeciency will contribute. Especially the b series.

All of you who are experiencing tingling, pain from an unknown source, knee and ankle problems.

Get to your dr's office and see a neurologist asap!

The worse it gets the harder it is to treat.

My wife was diagnosed with a mild case of diabeties but the neuropathy kicked in right away.

She just underwent a new surgery to relieve nerve pressure in her legs, kind of like carpel tunnel syndrome surgery. That was this last friday, today she is noticing a considerable difference even all tucked up in that huge plastic boot.

She intends to have the other leg done in a month, and then it's my turn.

Believe me after 15 years of having "drop foot" where I cannot move my toes, I have absolutely no sensation on the surface but I have dealt with pain, clinics, narcotics, and every other option available. If this works as the Dr. Says there is an 80 % success rate and I can actually walk normally, and maybe even run again I don't have to tell you what that would do for my outlook on life.

Neuropathy is a silent and rarely talked about disabler.

Share this information with all concerned.

I all of the following symptoms: tching, tingling, aching, jumpy legs, painful joints, arms goes to sllep everytime I sit down, I go numbe from the waiste down if I stand for more than a few minutes. It's gotten so bad in my left hand that I am barely able to type or eat. I am left handed. Keep dropping things. Headaches, gained 60 pounds in 6 months!
I had a knee replacement 2 years ago and had a spinal. I wonder if this has something to do with my spinal. I had OA, RA and osteoporosis. I am 52 years old. Wating for the other knee to be replaced. I've developed fibroa's on arch of both feet! My eyes are failing and I keep tripping over my own feet. I'm a mess!
Scared to bits over the numbness. Any suggestions?
