thank you for reading and any advice I be grateful 

  • Hi Pauline19647,

    I'm sorry to hear this. Did your doctor offer any advice to help manage this, or any treatment options?

    Perhaps you could revisit your doctor if you're concerned about the length of time it's been going on for, or simply to ask any questions you may have.

    If you notice any changes, or you're concerned about something in particular, do make sure you seek advice from your doctor.

    I hope things improve for you soon and I hope that you're able to return to work too.

    Wishing you all the best.

    Hi Ben 

    thank you for ur reply 

    Yes been doctors I am seeing councillor but because of legs missed a couple of appointments 

    its strange was ok and then this started in September just out the blue 

    and of course went down hill from there I do need this sorted as it’s knocked my confidence down 

    just praying this all comes right I really need to get back to work financially and mentally 

    Have stopped my ensure drinks and my b complex vitamins with b12 yesterday tests showed was not deficient in b12  

    Feel  maybe I’m overdosing on them

    as I’m eating soft diet but healthy

    and taking vitamin d3 as last year that was low on blood test 

    today I felt slightly better but early days 

    and thank you anything else shows up symptoms will go back to gp 

    thank you again
