Does anyone with B12 deficiency suffer from tremors?
459161
Hi Jennifer.  I just did a quick search of Medline/Pubmed on this issue.  YES, there are cases reported in the medical literature of tremors resulting from a Vitamin B12 deficiency.  This is relatively rare and generally improves with proper B12 treatment.\n\nWhat is the cause of your B12 deficiency?  Have you been tested for other nutritional absorption/deficiency problems?  You need to take this situation very seriously (even if your doctors don't).\n\nBest wishes and good luck

I don't see B6 or B12 in NOX-CG3, which I find really helps with focus during workouts. I use BSN's N.O. Explode, which is essentially the same thing (competing product). I have noticed my endurance and strength substantially increasing. Definitely helps with recovery, not just after a workout, but even during sets. I give N.O supplements a thumbs up.

I take 250mg of a B complex daily and don't have any problems with it.  I used to be on xanax, zoloft and amitriptyline for depression and anxiety, then I started doing research.  I knew B vitamins would help my carpal tunnel, and I was looking to see if it would help some other join pain I was having, and on a list of deficiencies of different B vitamins, I found nearly all of the anxiety, depression and nervousness problems I'd been having listed as symptoms, as well as other problems I'd been having.  I started on a 100mg B complex and weaned off of the prescription drugs. I slowly upped my doseage on the B complex until my symptoms improved and I could live normally.\n\nThis was done with my doctor's okay to try it, and with regular checkups.  I've been off of the anxiety and depression drugs for years now, just take a vitamin B every morning with breakfast, and I'm fine.

Maybe you should ask one more neurologist....maybe you have higher anxiety so you tend to shake more when nervouse, as you mentioned....well if it's stress related I would suggest breathing tehnique (counting till 4 while breathing in on ur nose, and counting till 4 while breathing out on your mouth)....this should calm you down and lessen your tremors. However, maybe you wanna consider giving more input so we would know how it really looks like, and guess good what could be the problem :) Good luck!

You might want to have him checked for diabetes or hypoglycemia.  A high or low blood sugar can cause tremors and both can be very dangerous if left untreated. Have him take his lunch with him and eat it while on the road.

Vitamins B12 complex may help. Maybe you have a blood sugar problem....

Raw food has it's own risks...  using the link below, you can determine which foods and how they are prepared, are highest in B-12\n\nVitamin B12 is an important vitamin for maintaining healthy nerve cells and it aids in the production of DNA and RNA, the body's genetic material. It also works closely with vitamin B9 (folate) to regulate the formation of red blood cells and to help iron function properly in the body. Furthermore, vitamin B12 is needed for Calcium absorption. Deficiencies of vitamin B12 are usually caused by a lack of intrinsic factor, a substance that allows the body to absorb vitamin B12 from the digestive system. Such a deficiency can cause a range of symptoms such as fatigue, shortness of breath, diarrhea, nervousness, numbness or tingling sensation in the fingers and toes. People with the blood disorder pernicious anemia do not produce sufficient intrinsic factor and must take high doses of vitamin B12 to maintain their health. Others at risk for B12 deficiency include vegetarians who follow a strict vegan or macrobiotic diet.

B6: Pyridoxine: Takes part in normal tryptophan metabolism. If it is deficient the following occurs: Peculiar dermatitis, reduced grwoth, degenartion of nerves, reproductive failure and Hypochondric microcytic anaemia. Daily requirement for adults is 2mgm/day. It is sufficiently present in normal diet.\n             B12.Cyanacobalamin: Plays essential role for the formation and maturation of RBC , Also in formation of nueclic acid, Cocerned with maintenance of normal health and activity of the certain parts of the nervous system. If it is  deficient Perinicious anemia is produced. Mucosal degenarative lesions of the lateral and posterior  columns of the spinal cord  atrophy, inflammation of tongue, mouth etc. Daily requiremnt : 1.0 micrgoram / day

You would need to get on some medication like synthroid. Talk to your doctor.

You should be tested for thyroidism.  If being sluggish hasn't always been a problem for you, it could be your thyroid, especially if B12 and getting enough sleep doesn't remedy it.  Try this website to see if you have any  other symptoms: http://thyroid.about.com/od/takeathyroidquiz/index.htm

my father just passed away May 1,dopamine is to control the shaking and tremors Mussel movement in Parkinson's disease patients. Yet, I had just seen a new report on  CNN from a neurosurgeon in Las Vegas. They did not know until recently that it also affect the behavioral. You two trans motors for mussel movement or on the outer side of the behavioral motor and there for when the dopamine cross over it can cause a compulsive behavioral problem. There were two of this neurosurgeon's patients that had compulsive gambling to come on after starting to take the Leve-Dopa and lost lots of money (but it can be other things that they take compulsive) so there for the Dr. went to checking and he had 12 patients that had the same pattern,so therefor he had to take these patients off the Leve-Dopa. Be careful and God Bless you. Let me add this. Talk to your Dr., But I do know that in recent studies the vitamin COQ10 is suppose to be great for early Parkinson's Diseas patients. It's also great for the circulartory system, the heart. Don't let you Dr. discourage you from this vitamin. Get you pharmaciest, Dr. or Alternative Medicene person to cross reference ALL of your medications. And don't just get one opinion. WEBMD,the are alot of places to research medication..From what I can remember an early detection of Parkinson's you shoul take 300 to work up to 1200mg of COQ10 a day. If you do start taking this after cross refercing the medications you are on and it's ok. Say you start taking 300mg of COQ10 and you feel tired of worse, don't stop taking in vitamin.....just cut the dose back and go at a more gradual approach until you work up to the recommended dose. I was a caregiver for both of my parents and researched a lot of stuff. Of course my mother's cancer and heart were to far gone. And Daddy had Parkinson's for over 25 years. My father had no surgery, moved around until the day he passed away. My 1st cousin was diagnosed at 33,now47 had 5 surgery's and barely gets by. If he undoes his batteries on the right he has no control what so ever pm the left, if he undoes the batteries on the left he has no control on the right. I seen my 69 year old father able to still move and talk after going for a while as my cousin can only go for so long. Again, check with your Dr. before you do anything. And always second and third opinions and other info helps. God Bless you

Vitamin B1 or thiamine enhances circulation and assists in blood formation, carbohydrate metabolism, and the production of hydrochloric acid, which is important for proper digestion.  \n\nA deficiency in this would be a disease called beriberi, which affects the nervous system.  This is usually rare in developed nations.\n\nSymptoms include constipation, fatigue, forgetfulness, labored breathing, loss of appetite, nervousness, numbness of hands and feet, pain and sensitivity, poor coordination, general weakness and severe weight loss.\n\nThe richest sources of B1 include brown rice, legumes, peanuts, peas, rice bran, wheat germ and whole grains.  If you are not a vegetarian, you can also find B1 in egg yolks, fish, liver, pork and poultry.

Vitamin B12\n\nThe term vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is used in a couple different ways. Vitamin B12, a member of the B-vitamin family, is a term used collectively to represent a group of cobalt-containing compounds known as corrinoids. The principal cobalamins are cyanocobalamin, hydroxocobalamin, and the two coenzyme forms of vitamin B12, methylcobalamin, and 5-deoxyadenosylcobalamin (adenosylcobalamin). However, the term vitamin B12 is usually used to refer to only one of these forms, cyanocobalamin, which is used to fortify foods and nutritional supplements.\n\nSimilar to all B-complex vitamins, vitamin B12 is a water-soluble vitamin required for normal cell activity, DNA replication, and the synthesis of the mood-influencing substance SAMe. In combination with folic acid and vitamin B6 vitamin B12 serves to control homocysteine levels. Excessive amounts of homocysteine may increase the risk of stroke, coronary heart disease, osteoporosis, and Alzheimer's disease.\n\nVitamin B12 deficiency may result negative in hematological, neurological, and gastrointestinal conditions. The hematological systems and signs of B12 deficiency include a decrease in red blood cell count, skin discolorations, decreased energy, fatigue, shortness of breath, and palpitations. Severe B12 deficiency can also result in anemia.\n\nEven in the absence of anemia, the neurological effects of vitamin B12 deficiency can still occur. This is especially true for the elderly. In theses cases, vitamin B12 deficiency can affect the peripheral nerves, and in later stages, even the spinal cord itself. Signs of neurological conditions caused by B12 deficiency include tingling and numbness in the extremities, loss of sensation, spacticity, Babinski's responses, visual impairment, bowel control issues, insomnia, impotence, irritability, depression, memory loss, and dementia.\n\nGastrointestinal effects of B12 deficiency may include diarrhea, constipation, abdominal pain, excessive flatulence, and a burning sensation on the tongue.\n\nAdditional conditions that have been associated with vitamin B12 deficiency include anorexia, weight loss, age-related hearing loss, Alzheimer's disease, and pernicious anemia.\n\nDosage Recommendations\n\nThe majority of us do not need to take vitamin B12 supplements. However, as indicated above, vitamin B12 can and should be taken in connection with deficiency related conditions. Recommended doses include:\n\n    * For vegans take 2 to 3 mcg of supplemental B12 per day.\n    * For pernicious anemia take 1,000 mcg (orally) per day.\n    * Absorption of vitamin B12 is reduced as you get older. Some research suggests that elderly people may benefit from 10 to 25 mcg per day of vitamin B12. \n\nWhen used for therapeutic purposes not related to correcting a deficiency, vitamin B12 injections may be necessary to achieve desired results.

They could be, but your son needs a thorough work up to find the cause of the tremors and any relationship they may have with his other condition.  The tremors could also be indicitve of other unrelated problems and should be evaluated in any case.

if you're having tremors then there's definitely something going on. you should see your doctor, tremors can sometimes mean you have epilepsy or a loop in the nerves in your brain and both can be medicated so don't worry about that. you should definately get it checked though.

i can't answer your question, because I don't know what you're referring to. However, i have given several links below to read & perhaps you can find out what you're seeking. if not, at least there's a bit of information for you to read through & understand the thyroid problems.\nhere is some information about myself, plus some symptoms in case anyone coming upon your question may be interested;\ni have low thyroid. if you have low thyroid...here's a great question to answer: can you see the floor of your house? that was what was asked of me at one point, and to my amazement, the answer was no!\nanyway, the signs are:fatigue and lack of energy. Women suffering from underactive thyroid experience heavier menstrual periods. Sluggishness and forgetfulness are symptoms of underactive thyroid problem. Other symptoms of this thyroid disorder are dry skin and hair and constipation.\nif you have high thyroid, or an overactive one, the signs are:increased body metabolism. This is followed by weight loss and excessive warmth and sweating. Persons suffering from overactive thyroid experience trembling hands, irritability and rapid heartbeat or palpitations. Women with overactive thyroid or hyperthyroidism may experience shorter or lighter menstrual periods.\nI take medication, and sadly will have to take 1 pill everyday for the rest of my life. there's a blood check that they will do to see if you have low or high. i hope i've helped you!!

B6 is for energy. It helps the body make amino acids which are required for several major functions in the body including the generation of energy. It is called an "energy-releasing water-soluble vitamin."\n\nB12 deficiency can lead to anemia or neurologic disorders due to progressive demyelination of nervous tissue.  So B12 helps maintain signal transduction and helps prevent anemia. It is called a "hematopoitic water-soluble vitamin."
