I'd get the numbers for the B12 test, and also make sure you have a Vit D test. Many people showing up on Neurotalk's various boards are testing low in D. Some very LOW. When doctor's say "normal" don't believe them, since many lab ranges still being used are antiquated and new guidelines remain ignored. You should be at 400 at least for B12 and at 50-80ng for D.

Also were you evaluated for peripheral artery disease?
Cold extremities would be an early sign of this.

Spasms in the blood vessels may occur if you are low in magnesium. Magnesium dilates smooth muscle in the blood vessels. Try soaking in epsom salts in lukewarm water twice a day and see if this improves. If you find you like it, you can then move on to oral magnesium.

My magnesium thread, on details and how to choose a good supplement that works (magnesium OXIDE does not).
