Did you ever find your answer? You may have Lyme Disease.

An N.M.D. is a naturalpathic medical doctor.  the doctor I see is in Arizona and takes no insurance--although they do file labs and such with the insurance company.  But, they tend to look at the WHOLE picture--kindof like the hip bone is connected to the thigh bone.  Everything is connected in some way--when you run around and talk to the specialists--they look at their field of medicine.  That didn't work for me.  It took someone who spent time with me--and looked at the entire picture.  he practices Western medicine and will use alternative only if he feels that is the best way.  They don't seem to hand out medicine as quickly, and tend to be a bit more less aggressive. But that works for me.  I, too am taking injections of B12 and 1000 mcg of folic acid.  All my other levels were good (except for boron?? that was a new one to me--but it is part of the B family). As I'm typing this, I decide3d to come off the Lyrica--I'm a bit like a drunken sailor on it.  But to some folks it works like a miracle.  I will try to be patient.  It's tough--but be sure that what you had was a seizure--and if it was you need to address that.  But my understanding is that if you are anemic--as I am--then you have to get the B12 back into your system.  Google pernicious B12 anemia.  It is very interesting--and it comes on slowly.  It actually is because the body is unable to absorb B12 from foods and such.  Has really nopthing to do with taking a vitamin.  So check it out!  take care--I'll be thinking of you!  Post sometime soon--I've never posted before this--but I think it's important information--and sharing info is sometimes so so helpful.

Hi Shugie,  I read your post about low B12....I have felt crumby for a long time.  Really no pain, just extreme fatigue.  Also, had a form of a seizure at 18, then started having them a few years ago, I think it's called a partial seizure.  Anyway, I went to a neurologists, the MRI & EEG's were normal, but he said I was anemic (1.1) & my B12 was low (336).  I'm not sure if that has anything to do w/ my seizures/neurological problems but I would like to think so.  I started taking 1000 mcg B12 (sublingual tablet) & 28 mg of Iron.  I have been on it for about a week.  Should I be taking more?  I have felt better in the mornings these last few days, mornings are normally really slow for me, I have the "don't wants" most of the time.  What is a N.M.D?  My neurologists doesn't seem real proactive & just wants me to take anti-seizure meds but I would like to take the B12 & Iron supplements to see if that helps first.

I read your message with interest.  This past summer I have been running to dr after dr trying to find an answer to why I felt so lousy.  I have had tight muscles in my back, neck and shoulder area for over a year.  I started to have a neuropathy in my feet and teeth (amazing) in March of 2007.  In April of 2007 I started to have terrible hand and finger pain.  My hands would flush a mottled red and then hurt like crazy.  Especially in the thenar and hypothenar emminence of both hands.  There was no pattern to when or how much pain there would be.  I knew that I had hypothyroid (Hashimotos) and had been on Synthroid since 1992.  I am 57, so I was also on bio idenical hormones.  I went to a rheumatologist, dermatologist, neuro, endo,allergist and my own internest.  All the tests indicated there was nothing wrong with me except mild carpal tunnel.  I was healthy.  But in pain.  One dr said I had CPS and another RSD--they scared the heck out of me, and I knew they were wrong.  They glomed onto the carpal tunnel--but I knew that wasn't the problem because it was symmetrical in each hand and foot.  Then my calfs of my legs started to tingle and felt like there was something crawling around deep inside my legs.  My thighs felt weakish, and I started to get little electrical shocky feelings all over.  The my skin began to feel hot and burning--air blowing on it bothered me.  i became more and more depressed.  These dr's had me on antihistamines, Zantac (600 mg a day), two rounds of a medpac of cortisone, and one round of erythromicin.  I sank lower and lower.  And I still hurt.  My muscles felt tight and sore--and it seemed to move around--just like the hand and foot neuropathy.  I finally went back to my internest (who really had lost interest in me because he couldn't figure this out).  HE put me on prevacid (for acid reflux) and Klonopin for anxiety and to sleep.  Well----a friend convinced me to go to a N.M.D that she thought highly of--in a nutshell--I had thrush (the other dr. never even looked in my mouth) and have vitamin B12 pernicous anemia.  All of these neuro problems and muscle problems were actually from the anemia.  Now I think that I am borderline on the tests--but the labs B12 ranged from 90 to 100 (son't ask me what) and my labs were at 103.  That was two weeks ago.  I got started on B12 injections, he put me on a good multi vitamin and folic acid, changed my thryoid med to Armour thyroid, is testing me for H pylori bacteria.  He decided to put me on a small dose of Lyrica instead of a sleeping pill to see if that helped the nerve pain so I could sleep.  That was last night.  Today, my hands feel better--but the Lyrica can make a person tired until their body adjusts.  But it's a start.  I know that I have a road ahead of me--B12 anemia doesn't come overnight.  But if you were even tested LOW--get rechecked.  Read up about B12 deficiency--not just anemia.  I hope you get this--I realize that you posted along time ago.  Let me know.
