Can it be a vitamin Deficiency?
by FWK, May 22, 2008 05:24AM
Hi,
I have been getting paresthesia (tingling mainly in fingers, legs, toes and hands but soemtimes otehr places also) since 10 weeks now, they come and go and last seconds or a minute max.
I also have leg weakness and joint weakness, muscle aches(not severe) just liek wehn you go to the gym after work out. Haven't gone to the gym or played sport for 3 months.
I also have fuzzy vision(not severe)...going for eye test this week
Any suggestions if I have any vitamin or nutrient deficiency?
Will a normal blood test show these problems?
Regards,
FWK

Recommend you have your MD run blood tests that reflect all vitamin and mineral levels to see if there is a deficiency or a toxic level. If you are taking mega doses of vitamins (water or fat soluble vitamins) or minerals, you may have medical issues. If the levels are normal, then it is other issues which you and your MD can decide where to go from there. Thank you for your question.
It would also be highly recommended to see your doctor and get some bloodwork done, the doctor should know what to test you for.
I hope this can help you
Good Luck
