I have a question, planninguy ?, I know you were diagnosed with a b-12 defeicency. What were your primary symptoms, The reason I ask is cause I was talking to my oldest daughter last week and she too is having problems and is being tested to some sort of myopathy. She is experiencing a lot of the same symptoms that I have and started taking large doses of a B- complex and also vitamin B-12 twice a day. She told me she started feeling better. Now let me say, my daughter is 45, I am 60, not that much difference in our age, but that is a story for another day(thank God for supportive parents) If I remember right that is about the same age I started to feel crummy, I can remember about 5 years ago, I was walking around the lake county fair(it is huge) and my legs felt very heavy and could hardly make it back to the car. So as I think back my problems have been goung on for awhile. They were so gradual that I did not notice them until all hell broke loose. So now my question, could you have a vitamin B deficiency even if it does not show up on your bloodwork? The reason why I ask is since I started taking them, the cramps in my legs have all but subsided, the numbness and the tingling is gone from my toes and fingertips and the twitching is about 60% better. I have been waking up the last few days feeling better than I have in months. Is it just a fluke? Its been awhile since I could actually say I felt good, Yesterday I felt good! Anyone with any input,please chime in. Even my muscle aches feel better, its been so long I really do not remember what it feels like to feel good, but I guess this it it. I know this is probably not Als related, but I am still searching for anwers and hoping this is it. margaret
