I have had some great advice from people on here regarding J. She is having her B12 levels tested and I am going to find out about getting all her test results sent to us.
After starting to get pins and needles it is now getting much worse. She says it feels like someone is putting a million pins in her and it burns. Her face is the worst at the moment but can spread anywhere from her toes, legs, bottom and back, fingers, hands and arms.
After asking if she has been tested for B12, her nurse has told us that her last levels were 143, which is apparently low but not worryingly. This was in October!! Since then she has been really poorly and begrudgingly they are retesting this. Her GI seems to think that Coeliacs is her problem, but she has been gluten free since mid December. We are looking at getting her a second opinion.
She is still nauseous and vomiting daily, has abdo pain. When she does have a BM (between 5 - 10 days) it is bloody and mucussy, she has blood even when she doesn't go to the toilet!
At the moment though the pins and needles is driving her nuts! Does anyone have any experience of this and is there anything that can ease it?? Is there any supplements that may help??
