Hi thank you for querry.
As you mentioned you have the defeciency of vit D and vit B12 for vitamin D defeciency you are taking vitamin D supplement.
vitamin B12 also called cobalamin mostly vegetarian get defecient of this vitamin.
it cause the tingling sensation especially in hands and feets called gloves and stocking parasthesia.
Pregablin is medicine to reduce neurogeic pain and symptoms but not overcome the defeciency of vitamin B12.
A special intrinsic factor required for its transport and absorption.
if such patient came to me i will prescribe after proper investigation
inj.cyanocobalamin 30mcg IM Once daily for 7 days
200mcg IM monthly
Nasal dose 500mcg once weekly.
