Default Not peripheral neuropathy... but...

... numb patch of skin on my left leg. It's on the side of my thigh. I don't know quite how long it's been numb. I'd say at least 4 months, maybe longer. I don't know if it's spreading or not, either.

Question is - can this be from low B12? I've had a host of unusual neuropsychiatric stuff going on with me. The neurologist I saw (the most recent, and the one I liked better of the two I saw) didn't say anything of it, but I did give him a LONG, as he put it "laundry list that could not be any one thing." He was also well aware of my B12 issue and knows how my levels are back up. Also said doesn't think I have a neurological disease. So, it must be B12? Can a deficiency in this vitamin cause numb patches of skin? Will it get better over time, or could it be a permanent patch of "dead nerves"?

I realize we aren't doctors. Just wondering if anyone would know or had something similar. I'm thinking it's from the B12...

Thank you!
