Members rallied around someone experiencing hand and arm numbness and weakness, with many sharing they face similar challenges and emphasizing the importance of hand exercises and stretches to rebuild strength. Several members suggested investigating potential nutrient deficiencies beyond standard blood tests, particularly B12, magnesium, copper, and zinc, with one member crediting B12 shots for resolving severe neuropathy symptoms and another recommending hair mineral analysis to uncover imbalances that blood work might miss. A recurring theme was the frustration of not getting clear answers from doctors despite ongoing symptoms, paired with encouragement to advocate for deeper testing, explore natural supplements like honey and pollen, and assess digestive health since poor absorption can prevent nutrients from reaching tissues even when supplementation seems adequate.

WHAT IF YOUR BODY IS NOT DIGESTING WELL?
Did you check that? It is a crucial thing
I was not someone who would digest their food well
Idk about now but skme symptoms I had had actually got way better it might have been due to some dietry changes I did (even if they were little small changes)
Really, check that out with your doctor

Have you had your b12 levels checked? Mine were extremely low last year to the point where I thought it was some sort of autoimmune disease. I had numbness, neuropathy, the whole nine yards. I eventually went to a neurologist where nerve, blood and mri tests were done. The bottom line, I had a b12 deficiency. My neurologist put me on a regimen of shots which you have to be on forever and my symptoms dissipated. I don't really take the shots any longer. I take the b12 drops under the tongue everyday and my blood work levels are normal. I still have symptoms of numbness from time to time but I think it is a circulatory issue. Good luck!
