Hello there!
It sounds to me a ruthless try to self diagnose. As far as B12 is concerned it is an issue only if its levels are low. I never seen a patient pay the price for high B12 so cheers for that.
Now the burning sensations and associated troubles, its a neurological involvement and for that a neurologist's consult is required to seek out the etiology as this scenario has many reasons and need work up For the cause of this neuropathy.
Now the AML.?? Long shot buddy. Dont worry when AML shows every body knows. Pray that it should not.
Bells palsy. its self resolving. all you need is to care for the eye and some hysio therapy excercises and Some steroids and TADA.
Good Luck and Stop diagnosing like Dr Gregory House.

Hi Welcome to Health care magic forum.
Of course most of the symptoms are showing towards your symptoms, they are temporary, unless the suppliments,or foods containing the B12 are taken continuously.
B.complex vitamins are excreted libarously, from the body, so the possibility of the storage in excess is less.
Bells palsy is a disease caused by pressure on the facial nerve, and symptoms are inability to close one eye, and drag of one side of the face to the other side.
Take more of green leafy vegetables, pulses, sprouts and
protein rich food, to keep good health.
Wising for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
