Signs of vitamin deficiency?

JUST your legs?

When the vitamin B12 appeared in the medicine it was like thunderstorm in its history. In the beginning of the 20th century doctors made fantastic recovery with the help of the vitamin B12. For example, when a patient who couldn't move and only lied in the bad and was going to die, after the vitamin B12 injections in some days the patient could even get up and in a week he could walk and in a month he came back to the normal life.

It is necessary to take vitamins. They are necessary because:

- People drink alcohol and it affects bad the human body
- Many people smoke and it effects on the quantity of the vitamins in the human body
- Some people like to sit on a diet, but the diet often doesn't include the proper vitamins and iron supplements
- taking antibiotics leads to the vitamin B12 destruction
- The food allergy limits taking some meal, fruits and vegetables. This fact leads to the absence of any vitamins, including the vitamin B12.

There is a public opinion that the high dose of vitamin B12 as high doses of other vitamins can improve the activity of the immune system. The research doesn't have the certain results and the only conclusion. But it is necessary that high doses of the vitamins can lead to the side effects because of vitamin B12 toxicity.

-->An overdose of vitamin B12 is rare among the people. ****The symptoms of the overdose of vitamin B12 are numbness of any parts of body, itch, or a feeling of burning pain or *****ing.****

It is necessary to say that big doses of the vitamin B12, when there is no vegetable fat in the person's food, lead to fatty liver. A person with a fatty liver can't live normally - he even can die, because the liver is very important for the human organism.

The results of the overdose of vitamin B12 are its side effects. The vitamin B12 side effects are seldom noticed among the people with healthy kidneys. If there is something wrong with your kidneys and you take big doses of the vitamin B12 call the doctor if there are the vitamin B12 side effects, for example, numbness of any parts of body or itch. The overdose of vitamin B12 makes even the cancer appear. But it is one of the reasons in this case.

Also the overdose of vitamin B12 cause allergy among the newborn babies. It was discovered that about ten to thirty per cent people who over fifty years old are can suffer from the overdose of vitamin B12. It happens because of the fact that their organism can't absorb the vitamin B12. At many old people the stomach acid doesn't appear in the necessary quantity. This fact limits the absorption of the vitamin B12 in the vowel.

The vitamin B12 is usually considered as non-toxic even when a healthy person takes it in the big quantity. Of course, if it happens in the case when a woman isn't pregnant. You can take the doses of the vitamin B12 in ten milligram doses and it will be safe.

The overdose of vitamin B12 may lead to the following side effects: headache, giddiness, excitement, pains in the heart, the heart doesn't work normally.

Thus, the overdose of vitamin B12 is rare but sometimes it is dangerous for human organism, especially for pregnant women and newborn babies. The overdose of vitamin B12 doesn't happen when a person is healthy and doesn't have any chronicle disease. The overdose of vitamin B12 can be noticed among the old people. So, the vitamin B12 injections are recommended to them.

How much B-12 are you taking a week?

Have you stopped taking any meds lately, even over the counter stuff? When I quit taking Zyrtec, I had the worst itching that I have ever experience in my entire life. It lasted several weeks, too. Other meds can cause the same effect. I've even read a lot of recent reports of Green Tea causing intense itching. Maybe you've added some new food or medication to your diet lately that could be causing the itching.

 That is rather unusual,being just the legs and so intense that you scratch that hard ..

 I know this may sound rather blunt, but could it be any kind of "bed critters" (e..g. mites, lice, fleas)?    Do you have pets that you let on the bed?       Has anyone else who has used your bed had the same complaint?

  They can be so tiny that you just can't see them, yet they cause intense itching, even to the point that one scratches to bleeding ..      There was an article about this very topic on the CBS Morning Show the other day ..

  Here in our metro area, it seems lice has been rampant in the schools of late, even among upper-class students ..  They can be very contagious ..

   Washing the sheets is sometimes not enough to kill off the critters .. You may need to actually fumigate the room, mattress, carpets, drapes,  etc. with an appropriate killing agent to actually get rid of them ..   It must kill both the living critters AND their eggs to be effective, btw ..   That sometimes takes two different agents ..   

I could almost give a positive no to the critter idea, i sleep next to her, and have no itching

how much b-12 is she taking?

funny that happened to me about a month and a half ago.  i never thought of that.  i ended up at th edoctor cause i itched it open and it infected.  she felt it was a bad reaction to a bug bite but she wasnt really sure.  it was concentrated in my ankle and feet area.  now that you mention it though, it was during the same period that i had run out of my vitamins...which i now have back  :)  interesting, call dr. c. office and ask them.  let us know what they say!

I had the same problem.  Went to a dermatologist and he did a test and discovered I had liver problems.  Come to find out... I had Hep C.  

yes, it's only my legs. My husband does sleep in the bed and he has no complaints of itching. So I doubt it's creepy crawlers, ick. I do however have a doctor's appt today to check it out. I need to have all my labs drawn I will let you guys know
