Tingling

Sorry to be a pest but I am trying again.  I know others have worse symptoms and I don't mean to whine... 

Although I have been slowly gaining weight I am still about 20 lbs under.  I am experiencing a symptom of tingling or "pins and needles" all over my body.  A nurse friend told me to take extra vitamin B.  And that the colon would normally do a lot of the B vitamin absorbtion.  I have made an appointment to get a B-12 shot.  

Anyone else have this symptom or heard of it?

Eugene how far away are you from surgery? I'm trying to relate this tingling to something, and the only thing I can come up with is that the nerve endings can feel very weird afterwards and for a long time, because neurons grow and heal so so slowly.
What about your blood pressure? Are you getting enough movement?
Anyway you are not whining. Things are not normal, so you have every right to complain about pins and needles as soneone who is having real pain.

Are you on prednisone? That can do it. Flagyl too .... if it's flagyl, you want to get off of it, as that can be permanent. More detail would be good. Why would being underweight be related?

Dear Friends, I had surgery eight weeks ago to remove the colon.  The tingling just started about 2 weeks ago.  I am going to get a blood test to see if I need vitamin shots.

I am taking supplemental vitamin B orally but it isn't doing much to help.

Thanks everyone!
