Hi

You have mentioned vitamin D and B12 deficiency.Whether you have tested your blood values has not been mentioned.Severe vitamin deficiency may cause generalised fatigue,burning or tingling sensation.

Flu or common cold,Migraine, Meningitis (history of fever,neck stiffness)and fibromyalgia should be ruled out.

Any neurological disorders should also be ruled out since you have mentioned recent stammering.CT or MRI brain should be done.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards
Dr.Saranya Ramadoss, General and Family Physician
