Thanks for your all of your kind words and advice, its really comforting to know that I am not alone

I looked at the blood results I have and there is nothing that says B12, the consultant's letter just said they were normal so I will ask for those, thank you. Its interesting darlindeb that you are looking at individual levels and not bound to what the gp says is the correct dose for you. The consultant offered pregabalin and amitriptyline and steroid injection in my wrist but I have steered away. I have an appointment with a new neurologist who specialises in PN at the end of the month so this is great I can ask about the B12 possibility and also why it fluctuates like some nights I keep waking with numbness in hands and fingers and others it doesn't so I want to work on my diet to see what difference, my consultant said there was nothing I could do diet wise but it seems that there is a lot that can be done.
