These are symptoms of a Vitamin B12 deficiency. Other symptoms you may have are: irritability, moodiness, inability to concentrate, depression, chest pains, palpitations, head and sweats, headaches, migraines, impaired balance, fatigue and exhaustion.

Sounds like you've been extra stressed lately. In stressfull situations we need to increase our intake of the B vitamin complex.

You need to increase your intake of foods rich in this vitamin ie: yeast liver, eggs, milk, cheese and fish, kidney and pork.

Recommended daily intake for adults is 2mcg. I suggest you go to the chemist and ask the pharmacist to recommend a good quality multi B complex supplement (tablets). Avoid synthetic vitamins as they are too hard to digest.

For B12 to be properly assimilated through the stomach it is necessary to be combined with calcium during absorption to adequately benefit the body.

In the human diet B12 is supplied primarily by animal products, since plant products usually dont contain it.

B 12 vitamins will alleviate your dizziness and nausea, any heart palpitations you be having and increase your energy. It will also maintain a healthy nervous system, relieve moodiness and irritability, ease depression, fatigue and exhaustion and improve concentration and memory. Sweating in the hands and head are also B12 deficiency symptoms.

You may also be deficiency in B2 (Riboflavin). Symptoms for this are sore lips, mouth and tongue, cracked and splitting skin around your fingernails and grainy and sandy feeling eyes? If so, this vitamin will be included in the Multi B complex supplement that you buy at the chemist. The recommended daily intake for this vitamin is 1.2 - 1.7mg.

Foods rich in B2 are milk, liver, kidney, cheese, leafy green vegies, fish, eggs, yoghurt and beans.

If you are a vegetarian and have excluded eggs and dairy products from your diet, then you need B12 & B2 supplementation. If you keep regular "happy Hours" and drink a lot, B12 is an important supplement for you. Heavy protein consumers also need extra amounts of this vitamin. B12 and B2 work best synergistically with all the other B vitamins, hence my advice to get yourself a B complex vitamin supplement.

If you choose to follow my learned advice, you'll be very pleased you did as you will get release from your symptoms within a day or so. In actual fact, you should feel some degree of almost immediate improvement.

I'm so glad that I could advise you and I'm so sorry you had to suffer unecessarily just because your Doc. is a quack !!


PEACE & LIGHT

Ginger will help with the nausea.
Either;-
Ginger root capsules or tablets (health food shop)
Ginger ale
Ginger biscuits.

Go back and see your doctor, maybe he/she doesn't realise the idea is to make you feel better, not worse. Or have a word with a pharmacist.

Can't really help with the dizziness...sorry

Hope you are feeling better very soon
