I'm a 53 yr. Old male, live in the midwest. From 1998-2002 worked in kuwait and saudi arabia in tje oilfields. At prsent I suffer from extreme numbness in both legs, feet and arms. The muscles all over my body have loss of control. I have been to two university hospitals and the mayo clinic in jan. Of this year. The only thing they have came up with is that I have a copper defiency. B vitaman levels are also low. I'n taking coppr supplements ans b 12-6 & 1 injectiopns. There has been no improvement, mttr of fact has been getting worse. I was wondetring if there are any similar cases or someone that may be able to help me. I would appreciate any assistance.Thank you....

I'm getting depressed reading these posts. My symptoms are the same as yours. It is disheartening to hear that you have already been to two university hospitals and the mayo clinic and still have no answers. Do they seriously think numb extremities can be from a lack of copperand b vitamins? Not to that degree...Seems pretty ridiculous. I'm already sick of these condescending doctors, but I just want to know what is wrong. If I know, I can deal. Not knowing sucks.

Ok I am not a doctor, but there is a product that I am taking for fibromyalgia that has given me a new lease on life. I now am a distributor and want to share my good results with others. Its called reliv. I have more energy than I have ever had in years. I am 50 and I feel like 30. I used to have severe back pain and terrible joint pain, I no longer have any back pain or joint pain. Email me at spidyw eb@adelphia.Net and I will tell you more.
It works its a nutritional supplement all natural, tons of antioxidants and just good food supplement. Powder form --pills are no good they don't work.

It is very possible that your symptoms come from vitamin b12 deficiency if that has been documented in your case. Have you had mri, spinal tap, etc? Do your doctors agree to administer b12 injections and see if your condition improves. It might be the answer.
