Brief Answer:
Taking methyl-cobalamine (Vitamin B12) should help

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.

I have gone through your query carefully and understand your concerns.

Your symptoms seem could be due to deficiency of Vitamin B12. I would need to ask you if you are a diabetic. Taking methyl-cobalamine (Vitamin B12) 1500 mcg supplement per day for at least a couple of weeks should help in improving the situation.

Let me know if I could help further.

Regards
