Going from doctor to doctor looking for nonexistant illnesses can fuel the anxiety and perpetuate it.
Maybe its time to agree that this is all anxiety related and turn your energies to some self help for that instead.

yes yes yes ibs can hit you out of the blue, i know coz it has just hit me and its becoz of my anxiety and the fact that its high at present. I totally agree with Meg about perpetuating your state, your doctors are not doing anymore tests becoz you dont need them, in medicine there is something that you have to accept and that is that there isnt always answers to every ache ,pain or twinge,its time to accept that its anxiety and to start to find your path to recovery, check out Megs links. Oh and why do you want your b 12 levels checked ?

I want that checked out because if your low on b-12 it can cause numbness!!!I know my throid is working fine because had two test for that and it came back normal..But i can look at the type of work iam in could be the cause as well for the numbness i have been a stone setter and tile setter for 15 years...But as for the vit b-12 test its cheap and easy..But for the past few days i have been getting a full nights sleep with out waking up in the middle of the night wich is nice...

oh can you tell me more about that link please? (between numbness and vit b12). I am interested to hear about it.
Nicola
but if your b12 levels were low you would have other symptoms,do you have other symptoms of b12 deficiency?

the only other problem i have is bowell problems beside the numbness in the sholder and hands as far as the site goes about vit 12 making you go numb its a site you can ask a ? from a nero doc and he said that vit-12 can cause you to get numb..http://www.medhelp.org/forums/neuro/wwwboard.html that is the site...
Also would tend to be bilateral and starts from peripheries - no harm in supplementing yourself though if you're convinced.
Look at your nails - do you have good 'moons' at nail bed?

i have moon beds in my nails but some fingers dont!!They say vit -12 shots do wonders but they are spendy..
See for my mother that has had axiety for over 25 years said when they gave here vit-12 shots they did wonders for her and her axiety!!!And she told me look i was thinking the same way when i was your age thinking i was dying of a bad illness but look again i am still here and not dead!!!Her axiety hit at the same age iam now.. i wonder if gentics plays a role in axiety?As for me i take after my mother more than my father in looks and in other factors as well..But as far as my bowells are going iam starting to think and know that its ibs because iam having the clasic symtoms of ibs and stress seems to get it fired up!!!As soon as i take fiber the big d goes away and i havnt lost anymore weight in three months but i do know axiety sure can make your weight bounch up and down alot by what i have told and reading...
Hi
I dont have them on every finger either. I would never consider a b12 shot unless i had been medically diagnosed with a deficiency but perhaps thats just me, im not disputing the numbness thing its just that asking these type of questions online is no substitute for a proper clinical exam carried out by someone in possession of your medical history which you have had carried out, vit b12 deficiency is not rare and i am sure is something which your medics (in particular your GI doc) would have picked up on, if you are so worried about this go back and see your doc and tell them how you feel and your concerns about this before you go and start doing anything else. The b group vitamin complex can be topped up quite well with supplements yourself but as you are probably aware there are 2 causes of b12 deficiency, one is a lack of b 12 in diet (most common in vegans) and the other is a lack of intrinsic factor in the stomach which renders the person unable to absorb the b12 in the gut, this would show up in a simple blood test so if you have had a recent full blood count carried out it would have been detected if you had any problems and a test for pernicious anaemia and b12 levels carried out carried out. I suggest you review your diet and if really worried talk to your doc again who should be able to suggest the next step,please dont go ahead and get b12 shots without careful consideration.

If you are on antiacids it can impinge on the production of intrinsic factor (as well as acid) which as Nell says is crucial for absorption.
You could supplement orally and see if there is an improvement.
Yes, there is a 60% risk of anxiety crossing between parent/child. Jurys out on how much is nuture or nature but increasingly a genetic link is being sought.

Hey thanks on the great in site you too!!!Much help i have had three cbc blood test in the last five months and as well as five liver blood tests that check all kinds of stuff as well and a lipase test not sure how you spell it but that done as well along with a few other things and all come out fine!!!
what really gets me fired up the most is the loss of wanting to eat and the dang nausea if i can get my nausea undercontrol i think i can get it whipped the nausea is what gets me really going for some reason..but what crazy i take a xanxas and the nausea goes away so can you relate to this does this make since to anyone?
Hi
if you have had all these tests done then in my opinion your bloods are normal, like Meg said in earlier post it would do you no harm to top up orally on vit b complex as good for health of nervous system, as for the nausea, im sure its anxiety related especially if it goes away when you medicate. Remember that anxiety causes constriction of muscles including oesophagus, and sphincter muscles in stomach and other places, nausea ia a big symptom with anxiety Try small amounts of bland food frequently and make sure you are taking enough fluid (water is the best) Oh and by the way, if you are going to take a vit b supplement, be aware that some can cause your urine to go a more yellowish colour (because of brewers yeast used in product), dont want you getting anxious about that. remember that your gi doc says there is nothing wrong with you appart from ibs, try and not let this nausea overtake your life. Hope this helps

Thanks again!!!!This has been an up and down battle since of may but as for my bowells they have been doing it since 1996 and i got on the net a goggled a few things back in may about bowell problems and things just went down hill from there!!!But i think i want to see a nero doc just to bee safe so iam going to ask my gi doc for the referal because my pcp iam not to happy with!!!I wish my gi doc was my pcp doc because he is such a great doc and he is a doc that cares for your health!!!not to just rush you out the door like other docs do..like today i was a work today and i guess i have a navel hernia it popped out like ten times today and my axiety was pretty hi today i kept thinking maby thats it cancer not a navel hernia its a big round ball like the size of a marble that pops out of my belly button and causes pain tell i push it back in...
Maybe you do have an umbilical hernia - not life threatening and easily sorted, but do get it reviewed.

I had it looked at by a surgent and she said iam ok for now!!!But she said she will not fix it tell i get my axiety under control but in my readings on navel hernia they get bigger but like she said they can cause some pain when popped out but she said if at anytime that i cant push it back in i would have to go to the er asap,,But iam thinking it might be my problems with my bowells..
