Q. I just found out I am folate anemic. Vitamin B deficiency. Are my symptoms normal? Pale skin, cold hands and feet, lost of taste, boney face and depression and mood swings. Also my doctor told me to take supplements including vitamin B12, B6 and multi vitamins and they give me a B shot every 2 weeks. So how long will I suffer these symptoms?

anyone know symptoms of vitamin b12 deficiency?
Q. i've been really tired lately and losing weight, i weigh around 99lbs. i used to weigh 125lbs. i get really shakey and need to carry food with me. i get out of breath.and my hair is getting so dry and thin. i've said something to my doctor about the weight and he said you look fine, but i don't think it's normal to lose weight for no reason and i just don't feel well and i look awful too. i know taking medicine for reflux can cause vitamin b12 deficiency and i take nexium for years.
A. Sudden unexplained weight loss should always be investigated to find out the cause, especially if you also feel tired and shaky. Your doctor will want to check you for diabetes, overactive thyroid gland, hidden infections, and other causes of weight loss. He or she will probably arrange blood tests and a chest x-ray. Don't put off going - the sooner the cause is found, the sooner you can be treated and on the way to recovery.
Sometimes weight loss can be a sign of a depressive illness, and your doctor will want to know how you are feeling emotionally. In the meantime, try to eat a healthy diet. It can help to keep a food diary for a few days to see exactly what you are eating. Healthy between-meal-snacks such as fruit, muesli, smoked salmon sandwiches, and cheese can help you put on weight. High-carb foods such as rice, pasta and bread are also a good idea. good luck

i've had symptoms of vitamin b12 deficiency for two years,does it mean that now i have permanent nerve damage?
Q. because some people told me that if a vitamin b12 deficiency is left untreated for more then 6 months,it will cause some permanent nerve damage, and i have had the symptoms for 2 years now including (chronic insomnia, chronic fatigue,numbness in my fingers and toes,some muscle cramps,and i can feel my heartbeat and also hear it in my ears,and a very itchy scrotum), do you think that now i have some permanent nerve damage?
A. No! Vitamin B12 deficiency or hypocobalaminemia is a low blood level of vitamin
B12, it can cause permanent
damage to nervous tissue
as a long term effect. Vitamin B 12 was discovered from its relationship to the
disease pernicious anemia , which is an autoimmune disease that destroys parietal cells in the stomach that secrete intrinsic factor . Pernicious anemia,
untreated, is usually fatal
within three years. Once
identified, however, it can
be treated successfully and
with relative ease (although it cannot be
cured and continued
treatment is required).
Intrinsic factor is crucial for
the normal absorption of
B12 in amounts that occur in foods, and thus a lack of
intrinsic factor, as seen in
pernicious anemia, causes a
vitamin B 12 deficiency.
