B12 result help needed :(

If you are continuing to have problems with how you are feeling I suggest you visit the Pernicious Anaemia Society website. There is lots of information on there, including a symptoms list, which you can print out, and tick all that apply to you. Perhaps if you gave this to your doctor they might see that the actual blood serum result isn't the only answer. The recommendations are that symptoms should always be taken into account, even if the blood serum looks OK.

It is possible to supplement B12, using nasal or sublingual sprays, or tablets that dissolve under the tongue. Don't try ordinary tablets as the problem of absorbing B12 is usually in the digestive system. Bear in mind that once you start supplementing it will mess up any future blood test results. So if you want to get a confirmed diagnosis of Low B12, it must be from a blood test prior to supplementing. It is possible for your doctor to test MMA and homocystine levels, which will also indicate a B12 issue. Good luck with getting your health sorted. Marion
