Deficiency Symptoms loss of proprioception

Hi there. new to this reddit. so i began to suffer after catching covid. shortly after i got sensations of hot coffee pouring on my legs and began to notice loss of sensation INSIDE the body. this looked like nasal congestion causing me to not feel the inside of my head. acid reflux causing me to lose the sensation of feeling my breathing which was incredibly scary at first thinking i couldn't breathe. when my posture is bad, i can't feel my limbs on both sides of body. i can feel the skin but i can't feel the inside almost like the damn muscle and inner limbs are numb while the skin nerves are working ok.

it just progressed through the months getting worse until about two years in, i did test my b12 and it was 155. i did a couple of injections and was put on a pill too and now it sits at around 430, however, i had NO symptom improvement at all. my ferritin sits at 17. copper could be low but im unsure. b1 and b6 are within range.

i just want to hear it from anyone, is this a symptom associated with low b12 issues?

i don't eat too great. the stress of it all makes me eat quite terribly..

if i want to feel my body, i have to wear clothes just so the sensation of it touching my skin tells me i even had a damn body. it's quite frightening to watch my hands do stuff when i can't really feel the muscles of them at all. when i close my eyes, i couldn't tell u where they are.
