As its name implies, this condition causes fatigue, dull pains and feeling tired all the time despite getting enough sleep. B12 deficiency causes the same, remember?
This disorder isn’t very well-understood. Patients who have this problem experience severe pain in certain areas of the body, called ‘pain points.’ The pain is excruciating and unbearable for some and it is said that it is a result of the brain over-reacting to painful stimuli. Other symptoms include confusion, trouble concentrating, dizziness, depression, sleeping problems, etc. These should sounds very familiar by now. Therefore, you can see that numerous conditions present with symptoms very similar to those caused by B12 deficiency. In addition to keeping patients untreated and at risk for permanent damage to their body, doctors cause loss of extremely large amounts of money when they misdiagnose these disorders. Most of these conditions need chronic therapy by expensive drugs and sometimes even hospitalization. Misdiagnosis is thus costing us our health as well large sums of money.
This is an autoimmune disease in which the lining of the GIT is damaged and it results in diarrhoea, abdominal pain, blood in stools, indigestion, malabsorption, etc – all very similar to those caused by a B12 deficiency.
