During a stressful time, with symptoms of colitis, one night I
developed many sensory neuropathies at one time, and months later they
are still here.
From the first day, I experienced, shoulder spasm, waking with carpal
tunnel numbness in pinky ring finger etc, meralgia paristhetica, that
is sharp sensations and numbing from the side of one hip outside of
thigh, burning feet, and misc other twitches, burning, shocks etc.
All blood work is fine, no vitamin mineral deficinecies. Checked the
usual electrolytes, plus b6, b12 folic acid etc.
No diabetes, lyme etc.
Very depressed, panic attacks (not hyperventilation), cant handle any
more doctors, and medieval medical testing.
Any ideas how all of these symptoms could start in an instant and stay
for months????
thanks

How did they test for the B vitamins?
A consultant came to see my wife when her neuropathic pain got so bad
that she couldn't walk.
He suggested that blood based B tests are unreliable and he
recommended a multi B supplement but with extra thiamin (B1).
She is slowly improving.

Yes Steve, blood tests. This would imply your wife has some kind of
small intestine problem?
Anyway, I am taking a b supplement, whether its enough, I dont know.
Where are her neuro symptoms and how did they start ???
Thanks

Why? Are you thinking of just B12?

She had a few episodes of Cellulitis in her legs. After treatment with
antibiotics the problem seems to be cured. The inflammation and
redness went away. However she still gets a lot of pain in her feet.
The consultant thinks her nerves have not recovered from the
Cellulitis damage and the problem is now neuropathic pain. She is on a
daily dose of 10 + 10 drops of B complex plus an extra 25mg Thiamin
(B1). The target dose is 20 + 20 drops and 100mg Thiamin. The
consultant and the nutritionist suggest a slow build up. She started
at 1 drop a day. Apparently this slowly increasing method works better
than starting with a high dose. I've no idea why.

| Your trauma may have given rise to lesions anywhere upon your spinal column
or brain, particularly so if you are running on a vitamin D-deficient state.

And exactly what kind of trauma are you referring to? Panic causing
brain lesions??

Be sure and double check any Lyme tests. Most people area given an
ELISA/ Western Blot. These tests were never meant for diagnosing Lyme.
They were only intended for statistical use.
For more information, go to http://www.lymenet.org under Flash
Discussions.
