So i noticed i had some numbness on my belly under my belly button. I can feel but it feels like when your limb falls asleep and then wakes up when it's  touched... if that makes any sense. 

This feeling has sense gone down my legs too. My one foot has been falling asleep today.

Any ideas what could be causing this?

Pinched nerve?  My entire leg was numb from hip to floor once and that was a pinched nerve. Only thing they could do for it was give it time. Ugh, was a couple of months.

Low B12 or low B1? Are you taking your vitamins?

If the run the blood work make sure they test but B1, B12, D3, and B6. High B6 can mimic B12 deficiencies. Very critical.

Is your b-12 sublingual (i.e. under the tongue). It should be. You wont absorb it efficiently if you get the chew and swallow kind.
