You had your B12 checked. It was fine. The tingling, buzzing, burning, or that cell-phone-vibrating-in-your-foot feeling is still here.
For many active adults, the next steps become a frustrating circuit of referrals. Neurology. Podiatry. Orthopedics. More testing. Yet one question often gets missed: what is interfering with this nerve's ability to make energy?
Nerves rely on thiamine-driven pathways to turn fuel into energy. Mercury can interfere with enzymes in those pathways, including transketolase. When nerve metabolism is disrupted, nerves can misfire, weaken, and create buzzing, tingling, zaps, numb patches, or burning sensations.
This does not replace medical evaluation or a careful workup for B12 deficiency, diabetes, or structural nerve conditions. It expands the conversation when symptoms persist.
