Neuropathy And Vitamin B-12
A MyParkinsonsTeam Member asked a question đź’­

I am starting to experience neuropathy in just the tip of one finger. I did some research online and discovered that there may be a link between a vitamin B-12 deficiency and neuropathy, and that PwP have a tendency to also be vitamin B-12 deficient. Has anyone had any experience with the relationship between vitamin B-12 and neuropathy?

My neurologist just suggested I start taking B12, Vit D, and Magnesium 400 mg. I've been taking these about 2 weeks...seems like I can see a little more energy.

I started taking a super complex B vitamin about a month ago. I'm already telling a difference in my hands. Less pins n needles it seems. I also have diabetes. My feet are numb. Am hoping for nerves to wake up in them if possible. I take super B, C, E, and a multi vitamin for 50+. Then I try to walk everyday in the sunshine. Can't take too much sunshine 🌞 but I do get some on my walk.

I found that walking in a current pool got rid of mine - I had to use all the joints in my feet and that helped restore the nerves

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member—The fact that you have noticed a difference without having been aware that B-12 might help is quite useful. Thanks.

@A MyParkinsonsTeam Member—As you say, it is reputed to help with a number of symptoms if they are caused by a deficiency. Since I also have fatigue (my most debilitating symptom), pain, and cognitive issues that could be improved, I figure it’s worth a try. Hope you will also share your experience if you decide to try it.

I have neuropathy in both my hands and feet but they say mine is brought on by my diabetes not necessarily pd. I have actually been considering get the shot as I have seen where it has multiple benefits I just have not gotten there yet.
Please share how it works if you decide to try it.
