Advice please???

I know I'm becoming a pain about this but we are not getting much information from the doctors! My partner who has now been diagnosed with pernicious anaemia is wondering if he should be doing any kind of exercising to try and get the feeling back in his hands and feet or should he be resting?
It's just he has peripheral neuropathy because of the PA and he's having B12 shots so feels a lot lot better in himself but the feeling in his hands and feet seems to be taking an age? Is this one for you Sqad, please?

Purple......don't worry.

There are many causes of Peripheral Neuritis, some reversible and some non reversible.

I am glad to report that Peripheral Neuritis due to B12 deficiency is completely reversible and when your partners blood picture returns to normal his numbness of his hands and feet will disappear.....may take 6months, but it will revert to normality.

Once again, thanks Sqad, the voice of reason, the only voice of reason....not much faith left in the NHS I'm afraid.... although our recent activity with the NHS has made me wonder about changing career to nursing....I want to be that nurse who does care....we did find one who we owe so much to.

Purple.....quality in the NHS tends to be spasmodic, but on the whole they do the best that they can.

Nursing is a noble profession but has changed a lot over the years not necessarily for the best, in my opinion. My thoughts and recollections of the NHS can be best described as "old fashioned".....LOL
