Re: burning points in feet

[Guest guest]

Oh wow! It wasn't me who posted about the balls of my feet hurting, but I suffer from a B12 defeciency, and the symptoms you described are what I suffer with! Most especially the memory loss. That's the toughest part. Also, I had a neuropathy in my legs, with shots and the daily supplements it has cleared up. Thank you for sending this in with the link. I can't wait to read it!

-- burning points in feet

Hi everyone,

I read a post awhile back, but can't remember who wrote it. You were

suffering from a new symptom in the balls of your feet with pain and

burning. I just came across an article that says "burning points in

the feet" can be a sign of B12 deficiency. Here is an excerpt from

the article:

"In one study, when 39 people were treated for neurological symptoms

related to vitamin B12 deficiency—things such as memory loss,

disorientation and fatigue—all of them improved, sometimes

dramatically. "B12 deficiency causes problems in the nervous system,

including burning points in the feet and mental problems such as

difficulty with recent memory and the ability to calculate, that

sort of thing," says Dr. Stabler. A B12 deficiency has even been

known to change brain wave activity, she says.

Nearly one-third of people over age 60 can't extract the vitamin B12

they need from what they eat. That's because their stomachs no

longer secrete enough gastric acid, the stuff that breaks down food

and helps turn it into fuel for your brain and body.

And taking supplements won't help, because they are also broken down

in the stomach. So doctors who suspect vitamin B12 deficiencies in

people with memory problems give them B12 shots, thus bypassing the

faltering digestive system."
