If you don’t get enough of certain vitamins, your nerves can become damaged and stop working properly.
Vitamin B12 is especially important for your nerves to work properly. Vitamins E, B1, B6, B9, folate, and niacin also play a role. A restricted or poor diet or health problems such as Crohn’s disease are some reasons you may not get enough vitamins.
What helps: If you’re on a diet, or if you have a condition that makes it hard for you to get the nutrients you need, ask your doctor for advice. She may refer you to a dietitian.
