You can probably imagine the fact that I wanted to hit myself in the head when I woke up Wednesday August the 24th, for not making that marks on my body, when I thought once again the p&n had progressed upwards. You see it's not a steady feeling you can pinpoint (pun intended) on your body. It almost feels like it's not real. This is because you are feeling something that you are actually not feeling. The p&n are areas of your body that you actually do not feel, or feel different. But I will explain this in details later.
I went to work once again, but slowly I did start to feel alarmed. This was now the fourth day I was experiencing this and even though I was still positive that this was a result of the heavy lifting, I started to worry that I maybe suffered some permanent damage in stead of something temporary. And something that is progressing, even if I couldn't tell for sure, so slowly just couldn't be a very good thing.
Then I suddenly realized that I didn't get my shot for a while. I have been suffering from a vitamin B12 deficit for years now, and I require to get an injection every one or two months. And I hadn't been to the nurse for some months now to do so. Immediately I remembered (Dr. database, remember?) that a long period of B12 deficit can result in neurological and nerve related symptoms, just like the ones I was experiencing. Eureka! Of course, that must be it! So I immediately phoned my doctor's office and I could come and get one right away that afternoon.
I left home early to get my shot. I talked to the doctor's assistant, telling her my symptoms and asking her if she also thought this could be a result of the B12 deficit. She said that this was very well possible, but if I didn't trust it I should make an appointment with my actual doctor.
Well, I was positive, this must be it so the shot will make it all better soon. And I went home.
