Tilly ✨I have a permanent headache right now
I'm also getting nerve pain that feels like burning in my hands and legs but hospital said no specific cause and not related to the headaches 🤷♀️ probably just sick of seeing me

🦇Anthra🦇@dockers my brain goes *pling* and said: "maybe Vitamin B12 deficity", simply because a burning sensation in the hands and feet and a headache can be symptoms, and it said I should ask you if it’s okay to speculate.
@anthra always ok to help ❤️ unfortunately my b12 was normal on blood tests. Not diabetic either!
@dockers Hm, just thoughts, no assumptions. stomach problems can lead to a reduction in or cessation of the production of ‘intrinsic factor’, and if there is too little of this, the body cannot absorb vitamin B12 (except for methylcobalamin, which can also be absorbed by passive diffusion if it reaches the gut in sufficient quantities). Stomach problems can also cause absorption to fluctuate even if a small amount of intrinsic factor is still being produced, and after prolonged gastrointestinal issues, the body’s own stores may be depleted. Just an idea, I’ve had my fair share of ‘the plague and cholera at same time’, so to speak – vitamin deficiency and nerve damage – and things are always better when at least the basics are ok.
