Have you ever done a repetitive task with your hands and feet and suddenly felt a tingling sensation spreading onto your arms or legs? More often than not, it’s your body’s response after doing a task over and over again without rest like typing for many hours straight or cooking using a heavy pan. However, when tusok-tusok and pamamanhid become much more frequent, it warrants a visit to a doctor as it could be caused by something deeper like early nerve damage or Peripheral Neuropathy.
Peripheral Neuropathy is not your typical “numbness on the arm after sleeping on it wrong.” It’s the result of when your nerves are damaged. When this happens, tusok-tusok and pamamanhid can be felt from your fingertips, your toes, and down to your arms or legs.
When you feel these symptoms regularly, it’s important to consult a doctor immediately as the leading cause of Peripheral Neuropathy is diabetes. Other causes could come from vitamin B deficiency, repetitive movements, injuries, viral infections, genetics, and aging.
The good news is, treating Peripheral Neuropathy is possible. In fact, there’s a solution in relieving the common symptoms of nerve damage. But because information about its effects is not readily available, people who suffer from it tend to wait for the pain to pass or try to live with the discomfort.
To encourage early diagnosis and address the symptoms, Vitamins B1 + B6 + B12 (Neurobion), the nerve care expert brand of P&G Health, is making information about nerve damage more accessible by launching its newest chatbot, Neuri. One of Neuri’s primary purposes is to help people who are suffering from symptoms of nerve damage, tusok-tusok and pamamanhid, to check and assess their symptoms to see if they are at risk for nerve damage. Neuri can also help you find doctors to consult with.
Besides Neuri, you can also consult with your doctor about neurotropic B Vitamins B1 + B6 + B12 (Neurobion) that can help stop recurring tusok tusok and pamamanhid from bothering you again, together with proper diet and exercise, and with regular use.
B1 (Thiamine): Neuroactivation
The B1 vitamin plays a key role in providing energy to the nerves. The vitamin activates biochemical steps that are key to the energy-creating processes of the nerve.
B6 (Pyridoxine): Neurotransmission
The B6 vitamin’s key role in synthesizing neurotransmitters is essential to signal transmission in the nervous system
B12 (Cobalamin): Neuroregeneration
Finally, the B12 vitamin’s main responsibility is to support nerve regeneration.
So if you feel recurring tusok-tusok and pamamanhid, make sure to consult your doctor, send a message to Neuri, and take Vitamins B1 + B6 + B12 (Neurobion) so you can #FeelLife not the symptoms of nerve damage.
If symptoms persist, consult your doctor.
