[QUOTE="ChetRoi, post: 1959966, member: 468700"] Hi [USER=498580]@nixynerd[/USER], sorry to hear this is your problem although I am glad to hear of another case of apparent carb dysmetabolism. I am not a student of medicine so I can advise only what has worked for me. I had symptoms of sjogren's syndrome with a burning anterior tongue and lips. At least one research paper I read discussed a clinical trial which showed Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) could be an effective treatment for sjogren's. In running a trial, I found 600 mg of ALA gave partial relief and 1200 mg gave nearly complete relief. Further, the Sjogren's symptoms only appeared when I violated my dietary carb restriction. Also, there is fairly wide opinion that the standard cobalamin test is inadequate (a new test has been in development) and that the reference range can be consequently misleading in some cases. Since you are vegan, I would run two tests similar to the tests I ran: First, I would supplement with ALA at 600 mg. It's efficacy (or not) will show within a day or so. Second, I would stop the ALA supplementation, wait a few days, and begin a trial of 1 mg of methylcobalamin sublingual. Again, effectiveness will show within a couple of days. If the methylcobalamin works for you by reducing or eliminating the facial numbness, it may suggest a B-12 deficiency. You should then work with your primary care physician or an endocrinologist to understand why. I would be interested in hearing the results. Chetroi [/QUOTE]
