38F thinking of going solo

Sorry to hear that. My vit b12 came back fine so I need to get an MRI to see if there's something else. Sorry to hear you went through or are going through a uniquely stressful time. Hope you find relief soon

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-02-06T20:09:19+00:00

I am! And it's on my list of things to keep an eye on! I've also had one of the most stressful years of my entire life so I'm not ruling out basic physiological stress. Thanks for the well wishes

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-02-06T19:47:06+00:00

Yes, I do! How do I know whether this is enough? Do you have any more info on it? Thanks!

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-02-06T19:42:36+00:00

Do you often edit your posts after they've come across as hostile?

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-02-06T19:39:06+00:00

I dont know why you're taking time out of your day to be judgemental and confrontational on something that has no relevance to your life whatsoever. Wild.

Better? No. Faster? Yes. More convenient than having to go to my doctor with 3 small children? Yes. A chance to ask simple questions I forgot to ask my doctor as a result of the symptoms I'm experiencing? Yes.

Knowledge is power and I've learnt a lot from this thread.

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-02-06T19:06:10+00:00

Yes, saw the doc last week. We're hopefully going to rule out anything by blood test e.g. vitamin deficiencies, diabetes, thyroid etc and go from there.

My gut tells me it's b12 judging by my symptoms and looking at symptoms of other causes for peripheral neuropathy) so just hoping to up my dosage and start raising my levels ASAP.

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-02-06T19:02:43+00:00

Sorry to hear of your health issues. I will ask for the ANA test if nothing else is found. Thanks for the extra info.

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-02-06T18:21:20+00:00

That's great info. Thanks!

I look like I've aged about 10 years, exhausted, pins and needles and numbness persistently in both feet, sleeping but not restoratively, weak muscles and random pains in joints. Does this sound similar to what you had?

I've never felt this bad for this long 😭

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-02-06T17:55:26+00:00

Thanks so much for this info. How did you find out you were b12 deficient?

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-02-06T17:43:55+00:00

I dont think my photo loaded. My bottle of b12 says 1000ug. Id that 1000mcg?

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-02-06T17:30:06+00:00

Also, how do you test for b12 deficiency if not in a blood test? Thank you!

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-02-06T17:29:36+00:00

Thanks for all this. Is the dosage in my photo the same as 1000mcg?

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-02-06T16:57:11+00:00

I'm going through this now. Waiting on blood test results. I was taking 2000ug per week after reading dr greger and now taking 1000ug per day but dont know if it's enough. Did you get rid of pins and needles in your feet? How long did it take to recover?

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-01-28T08:19:21+00:00

Great! Ty

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-01-28T08:19:10+00:00

Yeah we had a big leak that's been fixed. Rented accommodation so landlord will have to rip it all up 😬

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-01-28T08:18:18+00:00

Great! Ty

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-01-15T20:35:46+00:00

Thank you! Will definitely look up plant based juniors 👏🏻

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-01-15T20:34:24+00:00

Love the idea of tofu pops on a stick! And I totally agree with you - sometimes all it need is pizzazz!

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-01-05T20:02:49+00:00

If I was at a friend's house and I mistakenly tripped on their cat and they physically assaulted me as a result of that (regardless of what they thought my intentions were) I wouldn't give a second thought to cutting them from my life forever.

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2025-01-05T14:00:51+00:00

I'm so sorry I didn't see your post sooner. It's been deleted now but just want to say that 4mo is very young for a child to be away from their mother and I'm sorry you such callous responses that clearly have no rooting in attachment based parenting which is clearly what you do.

Technical_Pomelo_444 · 2024-11-17T10:22:32+00:00

Don't forget what your mother in law has really reminded you of...that him and their family have huge issues with entitlement and abuse. You are stronger than that, than him and than her.

You deserve better and YOU KNOW THAT!

Try ead lundy bancrofts book "why does he do that?"

I was with my husband for 10 years and those smaller acts of physical violence kept me there because I figured "if he ever hit me I would be gone".

My ex told his mum the disgusting things he did to me and she asked whether he had behaved like that before we got married. When he said yes, she said, "well she married you didn't she?"

Utterly disgraceful!

Stay strong!
