What Causes Numbness In The Arms And Legs?

Not uncommon. Treatment suggested.
Detailed Answer:
Thanks for asking on HealthcareMagic.
I have gone carefully through your query and understand your concerns. Going by the mentioned symptoms it does not seem that your friend is suffering from hormone deprivation (which causes 'hot flushes').
Her symptoms seem consistent with peripheral neuropathy. I would need to ask you if you are a diabetic. Deficiency of Vitamin B12 could also give rise to such a presentation. Taking methylcobalamine (Vitamin B12) 1500 mcg supplement per day for at least a couple of weeks should help in improving the situation.
She should continue the Vitamin D supplementation and anxiolytics but I would insist on cutting off the Vitamin B complex.
Such things are commonly encountered and you have to be patient.
Let me know if I could help further.
Regards
