A deficiency in vitamin B12 will produce symptoms such as fatigue an exhaustion, headaches and migraines, numbness and tingling and prickling sensations in the outer extremities, dizzy spells, fainting and loss of balance, heart palpitations and chest pains,excessive sweating, excessive urination and dry mouth, night muscle spasms, leg cramps, nausea and vomiting, depression, insomnia and constipation, irritability and moodiness and an inability to think clearly ....Quite scary actually if you don't realise the vitamin factor.
Vitamin B6 is essential for the effective assimilation of B12, tricylic antidepressants will rob you of your B6 supplies as will pencillin and prednisone.
Eat more foods rich in vitamin B6 ie ~ liver, fish, cantalope, cabbage, blackstrap molasses, oats, eggs, roasted peanuts, wheat bran, wheat germ and unmilled rice.
Eat more foods rich in vitamin B12 ie: organ meats such as lambs fry and kidneys, skimmed milks and cheeses, fish and eggs.
If you are lactose intolerant or vegetarian then it is really important that you supplement your diet with a multi B complex tablet on a daily basis and focus on meat free iron rich sources
Things that could be robbing you of your precious B complex of vitamins are :- eating too much protein, alcohol, eating too much tinned food, laxatives, diuretics, antiobiotics, antidepressants, penicillin, prednisone and aspirin and otc cold and flu medicines.
Also, try to cut back on drinks such as caffeine, tea, sodas and soft drinks as they are all B complex thieves........ as well as being great at dehydrating you.
Take a multi B complex tablet including all the B's ie: B1, B2 B3, B5, B6 and B12 as they work best synergistically (together).
The B complex of vitamins is essential for healthy neural, digestive and immune system functioning.
The B complex of vitamins is a water soluble complex and as such our bodies can neither store or produce them. Therefore we need to ingest them on a daily basis or suffer the consequences as you unfortunately are
When you take your daily B complex supplement ensure that you take it with some type of calcium rich food or a calcium supplement containing vitamin D3 as they all work in conjunction with one another and are interdependant.
Quite a handfull of information here ........ sorry it's a bit long winded but you need to know all this.
When our bodies are placed under added stress such as sickness, relationship dramas, new job, school studies or just daily life really, the B complex of vitamins are usually the first group to get used up and we therefore need to adjust our intake accordingly.
When you are getting any stress related symptoms or any of the above mentioned symptoms simply take another B tablet. As they are water soluble our bodies will simply excrete any excess in our urine.
Drink loads of fresh filtered water too as the happiest and healthiest body will always be the most hydrated one.
I sincerely wish you the best of health & vitality buddy?

It is most likely not serious, but it very well could be. I'd talk to a professional.
Burning or tingling feet may be early warning of pre-diabetes.
Abnormal nerve sensations such as pins-and-needles, tingling, burning, prickling or similar feelings are all known as "paresthesias". They usually result from nerve damage due to pressure (such as a pinched nerve), nerve entrapment, or diseases. Continued nerve damage can lead to numbness.
Paresthesias can affect various parts of the body. Hands, fingers, and feet are common sites but all are possibilities. Afflictions of specific nerves or spinal nerves can also cause paresthesias in particular skin areas of the body.
Parethesias with simple causes such as pressing on a nerve are usually reversible. Certain other nerve conditions such as peripheral neuropathy (often from diabetes), lupus complications, Guillain-Barre syndrome, or multiple sclerosis are also possible causes of parethesias. Because of the variety of possible causes, any abnormal sensation needs prompt professional medical investigation.
