Hello everyone,
I would like to start by mentioning that I am not diagnosed with fatigue syndrome, but with b12 deficiency. I'm writing here, because it is best place to get some understanding of health condition I'm having.
So approximately four months ago I was diagnosed with b12 deficiency - 161 ng/L, and was experiencing symptoms for quite a long time, for one and a half year. At the beginning I had occasional tingling and numbness that I ignored completely, but then started quite serious symptoms, and I even don't know if everything of it can be connected to b12 deficiency. I was vegetarian for three years previously to that, and started eating meat, when my symptoms worsened but they prevailed - pain in the legs all the time, heavy inflammation and difficulty to walk due to pain and weird feeling of imbalance. Eating meat didn't help with symptoms. Now four months ago I started with cyanocobalamin injections and tablets for one month, my general health improved, but I thought that that was largely due to other drugs I used. Then I passed on to methyl-cobalamin for two or more months and now use folate with jarrows mb12. I of course feel more healthy than those four months before but I have questions about my present condition: strangest of symptoms was actually feeling as if some changes in skeleton occur in my legs, that was because of weird feelings and also appearance ( my feet got wider, my knees was somehow overextended and ankles became fat and blurred with calves). And now I am still experiencing weird feeling around my knee joint and legs in general, that I assign to skeleton chnge but maybe they are just manifestations of deficiency? Could it be so? Also I developed some kind of vein spiders at my ankles etc. And because my deficiency most definitely was caused by my diet, is it possible that I will heal completely? Thanks.
