As for the hands, lip, eye twitch etc, I am thinking it is a vitamin deficiency, I know I am very low on D, which can also point to MS. I used to think it was poor circulation and that it was cold, but I have got cramps in my feet in a hot shower. I think I will ask the haemo to run some vitamin tests.

Hi Honey!
Sorry to hear about your shortness of breath.
Two thoughts on the items above:
1. I have occasional ocular migraines which cause blurred vision (mostly in the periphery) but do not result in headache. I cannot use the computer or read when these happen; they typically last 15 minutes or so. My mother and daughter have them as well. And my wife had her first one a couple of months ago.
2. My wife has pernicious anemia -- an inability for her stomach tissue to absorb B12 -- and has had it for years. She injects herself with B12 twice a month. When her B12 is getting low, she has numbness and tingling in feet and hands. So, you might want to look at B12 as well as D.
Take Care!
Greg
