Default Thanks zkrp01 - 2/13/2016 12:38 PM

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 !!!

I had a low b-12 level and got into a car wreck also. After 4 days I went to ER with a burning pathway from hip to knee. Couldn't sleep and inner quaking. Started only right side but went to left side after 60 days. My b-12 wass 119 and started supplements (Methyl) plus injections, stayed with both until my number got to 900+, then stopped injections. Injections were once a month. I went down for about 18 months and bottomed out using a walker and taking pain meds daily. Since that time I no longer use the walker and take no pain or sleeping pills any more. It may take a long time to travel this road so you have to fight the panic and not worry about death or paralysis. I was absolutely convinced I was headed for a wheelchair for a long time. In my opinion, you have to say goodbye to alcohol, it wants to take you the wrong direction. If you search here for Alcohol Induced Neuropathy you can read other stories and maybe get a few pointers about getting sober. You are going to have to take better care of your body now. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.
Thanks for sharing your experience, I hope you are fine now. I am happy for you. :-)

I have done Xray of spine, MRI of cervical spine, CT Scan of head
and they did not found anything related to injury or whiplash which can cause neurological issues.
I have spine bone issues and a birth defect 'spina bifida' - but Neurologist said it cannot be causing any of this issues.

I have few questions,
1. you had to use walker and pain meds is due to injury of B-12 deficiency ?
Can you please share more details on B-12 issues like what i have below

1- Shakes starts with left hand and now have been spread to left leg and right hand within 45 days
2. Left ear buzzing sometimes
3. Skin insect crawling sometimes, including face skin and ear skin
4. Left head lightness, left trample pain sometimes
5. Stiff neck muscle which was mostly on left side and now radiating to right side as well.

Just use the methylated B12 and methylfolate for folic acid, for now.

Since they are available and not too expensive you can do that yourself.

See what happens in 3 months. Your lifestyle changes, and the various vitamins, should provide some answers for you and progress.

You can do any further testing for autoimmune and MTHFR later if nothing improves for you. Also you could add in a good magnesium supplement (not oxide type), and Vitamin D 3000IU daily since you showed low D.

200mg elemental magnesium daily may help also. Avoid oxide, and use with food. The chelates available are glycinate, malate, taurate, carbonate, and SlowMag which is chloride in a slow delivery type tablet for better tolerability. Magnesium is lost thru the urine when drinking alcohol.

If you do not eat fish, esp salmon, you can consider some fish oil or krill oil. 2 a day is about average to provide the needed Omega-3's you need to repair nerves and other body tissues.

We have a long thread here about abstaining from alcohol.

http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/thread104096.html

Many questions you have are answered there, and the posters on that thread are very supportive. Please read it when you have a chance... just do a few pages every day, to get started.

Shocked Insults don't show on x-rays

Left ear buzzing sometimes
3. Skin insect crawling sometimes, including face skin and ear skin
4. Left head lightness, left trample pain sometimes
5. Stiff neck muscle which was mostly on left side and now radiating to right side as well.[/QUOTE]

Tinnitus, both my ears sometimes have teakettles going off. Common symptom, search Tinnitus. Crawling sensations common, bugs, cold-wet also. Don't have any of the neck and head symptoms that you have but as far as your x-rays being clear, In the reading that I've done, trauma induced Neuropathy only has to have an INSULT to the nerves to trigger onset. My b-12 was very low and just had a hard shock up my right side in the accident. I got out and helped them sweep up the glass and picked up pieces of headlights. Was there a period of time between whiplash and start of symptoms? Four days passed before I sought help. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.

Please remember, you need to stop B12 for several days before any testing, in order to get useful results. If you don't you will see an artificial high that is meaningless to your desire to see
real progress.

i met with accident on 23rd Dec 15 at night 1am. and this symptoms had started on 24th Dec 15 around night 2.30am. so answer to your question is duration of 1 day.

on 24th night, i felt like my left hand was feeling like some electric waves are flowing in it as soon as i m started to sleep, due to which i had to wake up and again after few minutes when i tried to sleep.. again electric waves started coming. i could not sleep till 5 am. but after that i could sleep till 7am without any problem. and that morning my left hand tingling and numbness started.

This problem is worst at night and morning starts with dizziness.
Also i feel sometimes drinking tea makes it worse.. but i have not tried to stop tea.

I had a period where I could not jump up after sitting or getting out of bed. I thought I had low blood pressure. Fortunately this didn't last too long. So be careful. Balance issues may come to call. Sleep is also an issue, I took Ambien RX for two years. It is hard to say goodbye to it but sleep is essential for healing, (5hrs IMO) Symptoms ,for me, came in an ever changing stream. Not fast change but about every six months I recognized something had changed. I did not have two battles like you do. I hope your symptoms stay light and managable so you can beat the Alcohol. A couple of pieces of advice, #1 don't fear taking pain relievers because pain can drive you to depression. I got off them, you can too later on. Hopefully your pain will be light. #2 Exercise to tolerance, keep your body body moving. Good Luck, Ken in Texas.

Thanks zkrp01

1. I do neck and other light back exercise daily - suggested by Physio therapist
2. I take anxiety pill - Xanax (Alprazolam 0.5 MG) - When feel so depressed or anxious- I feel more vibrations when i am scared or tense about my health.
