Well, I am leaving this morning for vacation.

Loss of muscle mass with pain in feet/legs could be hereditary PN... called CMT. Charcot Marie Tooth. We have a post on the Subforum here you can look at.

But you could have just lost some water swelling in the feet as well.

I would get testing for heavy metals. B12 does mobilize mercury
from the body, and it is a long shot that this may be an issue for you?

Rose had combined degeneration of the spinal cord. You can Google that term, and read further. She was in a wheelchair by the time her doctor found her very low levels.
She used to post here and if you use the members list feature here you can bring up some her earlier posts.
I do recall her saying that healing for her was full of ups and downs, however.

Mrs. D. What about Epsom Salt soaks before bedtime. That would get magnesium into his body and maybe help with the twitches.

It's worth a try. It absolutely can't hurt.

Julleri:

Try a half cup of epsom salts dissolved in a basin (the size that you can soak your feet in). Soak for 20 minutes. Take your feet out and dry them and then go to bed (if you are ready for sleep I mean).

Let us know if this helps with the twitches. The magnesium in the epsom salts are supposed to help with muscle spasms, twitches, etc. etc.

I do this all the time.

Thank you MrsD. I hope you enjoy your vacation.

I really don't think I have the Charcot Marie Tooth. I looked it up and I have basically no symptoms of that at all. My biggest fear are my shrinking mass on my arms with all the muscle twitching. I worry it's flail arm ALS or something. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac.

That's why I was asking if this B12 treatment can cause strange things like this, even so far into treatment. Twitching, muscle wasting. I just don't know. Doctors don't seem to know or think anything is wrong. Scares me to death, though.
