Hey everyone, my names James I’m from Scotland.On October 21st I woke up with a numb left hand and difficulty using it, could not even tie my own shoe 
I left it thinking I slept on it funny but 3 days later my left arm,shoulder and part of my head went numb also. Went to see the Gp got told I had a trapped nerve, I went back to see the Gp when my right side started going the same way, took a blood test everything was fine except my b12 level it was 100 so started me on injections nothing has improved I was too weak to get out of bed that lasted for a whole week, go back again 21st of feb I’m 21 btw. Could b12 be causing all this or is something else going on? Oh and I get these weird tingling feeling on my legs,arms,hands and back. Used my iPhone to type this sorry about the crap spelling I’m so tired
Alot of the symptons are the between ms and b12. My mother has injections for b12 and had all of the above. I too had all of the same but a few differences to b12 had to ruled on the way to my ms dx. Without full investigation there is no surefire way of knowing
Hey, yeah i’ve saw alot of GP’s at the surgery and most think im putting it on its driving me up the wall. I got tested for b12 deficiancy and that came back negative. Go back on the 21st of feb, new GP i see told me he will get to the bottom of whats causing it, i hope i get some answers soon.
I think every person wonders if they are going mad. I certainly did for 2 yrs before dx. You know yourself better than anyone and know you are not right so you persevere. The more that was ruled out over my 2 yrs the more i thought it was me. Yet the more different symptoms surfaced. However my mri was conclusive. I hope you get your answers
Was a little scared to post on here but now I feel much better thank you 
Hi James,
I know it can be daunting to post but don’t be scarred as people here just want to help if they can.
I’ve got RRMS and have experienced the pins and needles/tingling. It started in my thigh and then spread throughout my body…tingling in the hands is very annoying Grrrrr. I saw 4 different doctors before finally going to see a Neurologist who was brilliant and started to help me straight away and was the only one who looked at me like he had a clue what my symptoms were. You should ask your GP to refer you to a neuro to get his opinion.
Hopefully you get on top of all your symptoms as soon as.

Hi James, and welcome B12 deficiency can be very similar to progressive MS in that it can cause ongoing neurological symptoms without remissions (periods when things improve). I’m not sure that your sudden onset and then spreading numbness fits with B12 deficiency although your tingling in lots of places could. (I’m not a neuro though!) B12 deficiency can happen at the same time as other conditions so, although it is tempting for a GP to write all your symptoms off as B12 deficiency, I think you should see a neuro to be sure. Many people who have these types of attack only ever have the one so stay hopeful and keep an open mind, but push for a specialist’s opinion not just your GP’s. Good luck. Karen x
Hey, sorry for the late reply, getting an appointment tommorow going to ask if he will refer me to a neuro. Some things have improved hands are a bit on the stiff side at the moment tho, i feel tired alot is that fatigue? thanks for the advice much appreciated
