I have been having trouble with my b12 along with an array of other medical problems I am trying to sort out. I was trying to reasearch and stumbled across this site and thought why not give it a try and see if anyone out there was feeling the same and if we could comepare symptoms. I am just ready to start feeling better again and more like myself. Myself along with many doctors and specialist have been trying to come up with answers test after Test ran for over the last year. The mornings I wake up externally still and it takes about 15 min for me to straighten out and be able to get up and start my day. Through out the day I have this weird numbing sensation in my hands and fee. pins and needles in my hands, arms, feet, and legs if I sit or stand for more then 5-10 min. I've recently lost all of my reflexes in my legs along with my appetite completely diminishing. I had my gullblader out 4 years ago and also still have many problems with my stomach I have a BM about 8 times a day and diarrhea and pretty constant pain. (tmi i know I'm sorry) but Most of my pain is in my knees. I used to be a dancer and a gymnast and had very strong legs and over the last couple years my legs have turned so week. The task of going up and down, getting in and out of the car, getting dressed are just a few things I struggle with on a daily basis. There are times they hurt to bad to even walk on. Also I have fallen many times it feels almost as my knee is slipping out of place and just giving out. It's quite embarrassing when it happens and you are out in public. I am not here to sound like a pity party I am so ready to find some answers. I have finally been accepted into rhuemetology so I'm hoping that I will find someone soon. But I was also looking for answers/ comparisons to other patients you might be experiencing the same symptoms/close test result rage to my own. Any help is very much appreciated thank you!
