I'm really concerned about my mom. She's been diabetic for a while, and lately, she's been saying that her whole body goes numb when she's sleeping. It's been happening for about a month, and I'm not sure what type of doctor we should see about this. Could you guide me on who to consult?

I've been feeling really weak and fatigued for the past week, along with more hair loss and burning sensations in my hands and legs. I also have constant headaches, poor memory, and trouble sleeping deeply just restless sleep with bad memories. I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency a month ago and took Subneoro for 10 days after my piles laser surgery. My CBC is normal, no iron deficiency, and calcium levels are good too. Are all these symptoms just from B12 deficiency or could there be something else going on?

I'm experiencing this lingering mild pain in my head and my head just feels so heavy that it's making it tough for me to get my work done. I can't really focus because I'm not feeling good. Could this have something to do with my eyes? Any advice on what I should do?
