Hi,
Thanks for writing in.

Vitamin B 12 and other vitamins are very imortant micronutrients required for proper functioning of the body. Deficiency can cause symptoms which are indicative of disease and are reversible with adequate treatment. Vitamin B 12 can cause neurological symptoms like numbness in hand and heaviness of leg. Please take your medications and start taking a healthy diet.
