B6/B12 shots - hands red

by frani, Apr 03, 2006 12:00AM
I started on B6/B12 shots at beginnnig of Dec. at a Bariatric center - also on Adipex?  I've had many problems - don't know if it's because of this - 1st I got really bad acne after about 2 months - went to dermotologist - she said I had rosacea - went off the B6/B12 for 2 weeks - seemed to clear up - went back on - acne started up again.  Totally went off.  I also was having pain in my 4th toe - really strange.  I then started getting really red hands from knuckle joint thru fingers & then they would get cold - now I'm just feeling strange & having joint pain in my right hand & arm -

Could all of this be a coincidence or maybe there's something else going on.  I do take synthroid for Grave's disease - the dr. at baritric center did all the medical exams before he started me on this stuff.  Should I stop taking the Adipex too?

I'm 52 & have always been healthy - just need to lose about 30 lbs.  Lost 20 in 4 months.  HELP!

Tks for responding, but I did tell the doctor at the clinic that I was taking the Synthroid for my thyroid or lack of one.   It't not overactive any longer Actually, my thyroid was removed 5 years ago by that radioactive stuff - so I have to take the synthroid & it is a very small dose because my regular doctor likes to keep it though because of osteoporothis being older w/menopause.  I had been on Ionamine for a while & then he switched me to the Adipex _ did tell my GP that I was taking this stuff.  She didn't say anthing about my thyroid.

I did stop taking the Adipex for about 1-1/2 weeks but hands still red & hot & then sometimes cold.

Yes they also have me on a water pill & potassium - but just last week they switched me to every other day.
