Catchy Neuro Title 45: “No Laughing Matter” https://t.co/ZWFm0mEzxf Point: Nitrous oxide, laughing gas, is a frequent cause of subacute combined degeneration (SCD) of the spinal cord Citing checklist: https://t.co/FxBHTv7rqY https://t.co/ihDxjv2EJ0
I know that some people think making Nitrous Oxide illegal to use recreationally is wrong but did you know using it regularly can cause damage to the spinal cord? https://t.co/V6d9nTvppN
@James_740 @tomhfh This study/piece was written earlier than the current panic in 2018. https://t.co/FLguMLYjf2
@robmanuel It is annoying but I'm pretty sure all the kids huffing away at NO don't realise how dangerous it is. My wife's a neurologist in a London hospital and they've seen several spinal infarctions, irreversible life-changing damage https://t.co/vcu78B
@DrRhiRafty @DrBenLovell My understanding was that the B12 deficiency was functional. Does that mean that MMA can also be normal? In this small case series, one (of eight) had MMA in the normal range. @GavinGiovannoni @predictPD https://t.co/peR4caIzHX
Here we go again @nikosevangelou3 @djnicholl @StephenKeddie @predictPD Also worth reading recent small series from @RoyalLondonHosp @NHSBartsHealth https://t.co/dVuHfWimPU
& there was this paper from the Journal of Neurology from 2018: https://t.co/3PW7tTvkmr.
@CooperMcDevitt @DanceSafe Quick google scholar/pubmed search might suggest that one should allow their brain and body time to restore functions related to processing B12. Taking B12 and folate preventatively may help. https://t.co/G8XGRgqWHA https://t.
#TIL that overuse of nitrous oxide (laughing gas) can cause spinal cord injury by inactivating vitamin B12. Numbness, weakness, and even sexual dysfunction are common symptoms. Taking B12 preventatively before nitrous use is ineffective as no matter how …
Is laughing gas funny....? #IsitB12 #PASC #helpmechangethefuture
‼️Patients presenting with subacute combined degeneration of the spinal cord may have normal serum B12 levels as nitrous oxide causes a functional B12 deficiency‼️ https://t.co/dLsnzmKtUr #knowtherisks #nolaughingmatter #nitrousoxide #Neurology #SCI #educa
Some nitrous oxide users may take ‘prophylactic’ B12 but this does not prevent a functional B12 deficiency, which can be determined by serum levels of methylmalonic acid and homocysteine. https://t.co/dLsnzmL1JZ #knowtherisks #nolaughingmatter #nitrousoxid
N₂O is not illegal to consume but that does not mean it is harmless (think of alcohol). Awareness of N₂O-induced subacute combined degeneration of the cord must increase, or more will suffer permanent life-changing injury. https://t.co/DQb20hMbrT #publiche
@james_e_baldwin @Lewisdpi N2O is a difficult one. I'm generally still quite relaxed about it from it's extensive use as anaesthetic gas - even St John Ambulance can give it (as entonox). I read recently it can cause neurological complications - commensur

@AyoCaesar Criminalisation may not be wise, but there is a safety issue - heavy/prolonged use can interfere with B12 metabolism with serious consequences including permanent nerve damage. It's not that rare e.g. 10 cases in 6 months at the Royal Free repor
