Neuropathy

I'm post Effexor for 2 weeks now. I've added some more vitamins to the list but the one that seems to be the kick in the pants is Magesium Choride with Calcium (brand name: Slow-Mag). Also added Vits - D, E and C; Fish Oil, Garlic Oil, and Green Tea Extract. I was taking E and C in the past but just kind of got away from it.

I'm learning so much at that message board I've posted about in my previous blog entries that I felt it was time for another update.

I kept reading, at that message board I gave the link to in my previous blog, about the role of B vitamins, especially B-12 in the cause of neuropathies. A deficiency in B-12 can cause all kinds of symptoms but you won't necessarily put the symptoms together as all being caused by the same problem. Part of the reason is that the symptoms come on so slowly, so gradually, and at such different rates that there's no way you can see the connection. And the symptoms can be so varied.

According to my initial blog post regarding B-Vitamins, it's been 20 days since I began the B-Vitamins. Feels like it's been a bit longer. At any rate, I have good results to report as far as the symptoms in my feet. They've been reduced to a mere tingle at their worst and only at night now. Compared to the symptoms I was experiencing (see my initial blog post about the foot pain) these symptoms are a mere slight discomfort at their worst. They no longer prevent me from going to sleep.

First the foot pain. Boy what a pain, no pun intended. I have neuropathy in both feet. No known cause according to the neurologist. Could this be tied in to the carpal tunnel I had? Could it be a B vitamin deficiency?
