What Causes Numbness Or Tingling In Lips With Thiamine Insufficiency?
Hi, I have a medical problem. At first I got numbness / tingling in my lips and fingers then swollen feet. A friend of mine who is a doctor on oil rigs came to see me and sent me to hospital saying I had a kidney problem. Spent a day in hospital having tests and they said there was not a problem with my kidneys or liver and I had a Thiamine insufficency. They gave me a prescription and the swelling in my feet has gone. However I still have numbness / tingling in my hands and lips and find it difficult to move.

Hello and welcome to " Ask a Doctor" service.
I have read your query and here is my advice.
Thiamine insufficiency causes nerves not to function normally.
Supplements at it should be used for a couple of months.
Hope this helps.
