Hi
I am 38, slightly overweight but have not had any major problems prior to 2006. I started with really bad bloating, burping and could not eat a full meal with symptoms. Then I got pregnant, lost a baby at 20 weeks had a still birth and bled for 4 months constant. Had pain in all joints but would change daily as to which pain and where, I would wake up with. Had blood tests done and I was diagnosed with b12 deficiency. Since then I had conjunctivitis on and off for a year, my stomach has got worse, burning, pain, running the loo and I have had a swollen wrist which flares up for about 8 months, pain when I stand in the bones of my feet after sitting down. My thumb joint pains bad when I use my hand when I'm cleaning and I have suffered with tail bone pain on and off for 2 years and shoulder pain which goes into spasms for 2 years.
I know this sounds like a right muddle of symptoms but I don't know where to start to explain it or get to the bottom of it. I have anxiety issues and everyone seems to think it's all nerves and in my head and I know it isn't. I have heard you can have b12 problems with RA and I am wondering if RA is the problem and my b12 problem is just another symptom. Doc won't do any further tests to see why I have this deficiency, just says it's because my mum has it.
Any help, really appreciated
