Hi Grannie

I've had similar symptoms to you in the past and as Lara asked maybe it has something to do with medications you are already taking. Mine was partly caused by simply being on a too high a dose of a medication for too long. At the same time I had decreasing Vitamin B12 levels. Low B12 can also cause symptoms similar to yours.

Start with a visit to your doctor - get any current medications reviewed and ask for a B12 test. (If you are currently taking B12 or a multi-vitamin with B12 in it - stop taking it for 5 days before the test as it can skew the results.) Ask for a printed copy of your test results and come back here with the numbers. As you've no doubt read on other threads there is a lot of discussion about B12 and the out-of-date ranges still being used by physicians.

I hope as you spend some time on the NT forum you make some new friends and don't feel quite so much on your own. Take care - bluesfan
