Hello all,

I'm new to this site and I have been very pleased with all the information I have read about Vitamin Deficiency, especially concerning Vitamin B. I was recently diagnosed with Vitamin D deficiency and lab work showed low Vitamin B (285). I am getting the homocysteine and methylomaic acid tests done this weekend, hopefully this will be the start of some answers concerning my nerve damage.

My Dr gave me 5 injections of Vitamin B prior to requesting I get the homocysteine and methylomaic acid tests so I hope that does't mess with the results. I'm going this weekend so three weeks will have passed since my last shot.

I'm also wondering if some of the symptoms I've been experincing are due to the shots, first week I had upset stomach, loss of appetite and I have constant burning sensation in my arms and sometimes legs. I didn't notice this until after the 5 shots. I also wake up feeling like I lifted weights the night before ...achey joints and muscles.

Since I have to continue with monthly shots I hope the side effects subside after awhile.
