I know menopause can cause brain fog and make you feel exhausted, but I am so scared they are missing something and I have MS.. I always feel lightheaded and off balance but I know when you are lacking vitamins I have read on these boards it can cause this too,but just very scared I have MS>. |
Hi Ashley michelle
I think I could be wrong from meory you were diagnosed with B12 def have you been having injections and taking sublinguals,,,,do you know what type of B12 you are having I ask because it is very imortant
I see that yu also have problems with vitD anemia,low ferritin I too as well as folate def had all those and i had celiac disease I learnt that the gluten can make yo feel that way to not just the lack of nutrients there may be a connection there maybe not.......I know believe that the gluten stuffed up my hormones as I was having problems and was told I was perimenopausal I will be having the tests repeated to see if this has changed maybe that just happened around the same time but i have read it plays around with hormones.
The ony thing I dont have is thyroid but we have it in our family and they are getting other things checked out because of what I have........
Apparently B12 can triiger the thyriod in sume way that when you supplement with B12 you need less thyriod medication it seems to make it a little hyper at first so evidentlly the thyriod and B12 have a connection I have had a talk to a few people with this problem......If you search viamin B12 deficiency is commonly misdiagnosed you will come across some excellent discussions........
All the best ashleymichelle
take care I know its hard but try not to worry to much there are lots of things that can cause your symptoms apart from MS thyriod can make you a bit foggy and spaced out as well I believe.....
Cheers
