Seeking Advice - Persistent Dizziness, Tingling, and Ringing Post-Ileostomy

Topic Explanation:
The forum topic is about a person who is seeking advice for experiencing persistent dizziness, tingling in the hands, and ringing in the ears three months after having an ileostomy. They have consulted various healthcare professionals and tried different therapies but have not found relief.

Advice and Insights:
1. Consider the possibility of neuropathy as a result of chemotherapy or post-surgery.
2. Check for intolerance to cold weather, anxiety, diabetes, or pre-diabetes, as these conditions can cause similar symptoms.
3. Evaluate if any medication being taken includes a chelated metal, as it could be causing neuropathy.
4. Assess the intake of megadoses of vitamins, particularly B12 and B6, as they could exacerbate symptoms.
5. Request a B12 level check to rule out deficiency as a potential cause of the symptoms.
6. Increase circulation and flexibility through walking to alleviate symptoms.
7. Discuss the possibility of arachnoiditis with a healthcare professional, as it is common after gut surgery and can cause various symptoms.
8. Consider B12 injections to alleviate dizziness and explore the use of walking poles or surgical stockings for support.
9. Increase fluid intake as a potential way to manage symptoms.
