Question Need urgent help on Alcohol withdrawal symptoms along with B12 and Vit D deficiency

Hi Mrs.D and Melody

Your earlier posts and replies are very helpful and inspiring for me.

I need your advice/help to understand what exactly is happening to me, I have neurological symptoms.

About me :
I have drinking history of last 8 months (twice in a week) from April, 15 to Nov,15 and then 1 month daily drinking till 23rd Dec, 15.
I have been drinking Whisky and sometimes Rum. whisky brands glenlivet, Glenfiddich : 120 to 180 ml daily in evening followed by dinner.
Smoking : 6 - 10 ciggrattes daily

Problem started on :
On 23rd Dec, 2015 : Met with minor accident after binging drinking, had whiplash and minor bruises on hand.
On 24th Dec, 2015 : Decided not to drink anymore and not to smoke anymore. but didn't had any neck pain after that whiplash.
at 2.30 pm in night while i started to sleep, suddenly all my body started inner shaking or vibrating, feeling like seizures.
I could not sleep whole night and next day on wards i started feeling numbness and tingling in my left arm.
Also one thing i remember, while seizures were coming it made me to fart without much control on it.

I got admitted in florida hospital, Carrolwood - on 25th Dec, 2015
Doctor did CT scan of head and took some heart pictures along with few blood tests,
everything was normal including pulse and blood pressure.
They gave me IV through injection however. and from next day Diarrhea and yellow dark urine started with urine burning sensation.

Symptoms from 26th Dec to 15th Jan, 2016
1. Loss of appetite
2. mental tiredness, body weakness, weight loss (drop from 155 to 150 lbs)
3. can not eat spicy or oily or meat, cause diarrhea or constipation, now i am eating less spicy food and it is going ok now a days.
4. dry mouth (specially in night)
5. dehydration (specially in night)
6. Pain in neck while sleeping on one side, however i can sleep on back with less pain
7. Pain in mid back while sitting straight
8. Feeling mild vibration or shakiness in legs or body while sleeping, its not consistent however.
9. numbness in fingers
Left hand - first finger
Left hand/right hand - pinky finger feeling cold always

Symptoms From 15th Jan
2. mental tiredness, body weakness - comes and goes now a days.
3. can not eat spicy or oily or meat, cause diarrhea or constipation, now i am eating less spicy food and it is going ok now a days.
4. dry mouth (specially in night)
6. Feeling mild inner vibration or shakiness while sleeping on left side, however i can sleep on back with less pain

9. numbness in fingers - These symptoms have been reduced
10. Left hand immense pain : right from lower head or neck to left hand wrist including left shoulder, triceps and elbow are starts paining in day time.

About Xray MRI and blood reports,
Doctor said, I have B12 deficiency and Vit D Insufficiency
However, CT Scan, Xray of back spine and Mri of Cervical come negative. except some existing stenosis.
report on 12/31/15 : Serum panel Vit b12 241 pg/ml
report on 2/03/16 : Vitamin D,25-OH, TOTAL,IA - 24L (Normal range states as 30 - 100ng/mL)


As solution, I am Taking daiiy below vitamins
B12 vitamins 1000mcg Cyano form - brand : Natures bounty [ From 4th Jan 16] : after breakfast in morning. after ceral and tea.
D3 - 4000 IU - brand : Natures bounty [ From 3th Feb 16] : after breakfast in morning. after ceral and tea.

Symptoms Today
12th Feb, 2015
all above symptoms are reduced to just below points
1. Left hand still innerly tremble and numbess, it is also spreading in other parts of body like left lag and right hand along with heart race.
I also feel upper/mid back muscle crawaling while sleeping.
2. Dry mouth in night ( usually i will have constipation in next morning and more body inner vibrations in night )
3. Constipation 2 times in a week. (after eating wheat product in night)

Doctors are saying you may be having alcohol withdrawal symptoms, but no one is giving me medicines which can heal this problem.
1. Please let me know if i should change the vitamins suppliments types or brands or i should take other vitamins too ?
Should i take heavy doses of vitamins ? Injections ?
2. Will neurological issues will be permanent problem for whole my life ?
3. Along with Withdrawal or B12 deficiency i also have anxiety about my health for sudden death or paralysis while sleeping, which really want to control.

Please help me. I DON'T WANT TO DIE !!!
