Thanks for all the advice and if there is anything special I need to ask the Rheumatologist please let me know
I know it has already been suggested, but I would also ask that you check your Vitamin D levels. My B12 was not low until months into the neuropathy.

However, my Vitamin D was at less than 4 (when the standards for "normal" are 30-100) for 8 months before we finally got it up.

My name is Sarah and I am 25 years old. I have a lot of chronic health problems. Peripheral neuropathy and POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) keep me bedridden the majority of the time. I also struggle with degenerative disc disease, disc desiccation, spondylolisthesis, arthritis, polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) with insulin resistance, allergies, sound sensitivities, and other health problems.
