      Yes d i got tested now and its 4 very low sad

      Now daignsd very low Vit D 4 and high prolactine 118. Also noticed unexolained white diacharges frm brst. And my gp asked me to get MRI of pituitary gland.

      I am so worried about tumor. And I am more concerned that its been so many years that when First I had irregular mensus, if it's tumor it must have become so big in these years.

      What are the symptoms how to figure out whether its small or big, if any. Do u have any idea about pituitary gland tumor?

      Kindly help me so that I can make myself prepared.?

    I was dignosed at 30PG/ML on june 2016 when i dignosed my self i was going through hard times from the bigining of 2016 i had unprotected sex so my concern was any stds have cought me but i did all the test and only the detection was low vitamin d and very low vitamin b12. I had started taking injections of vitamin b12 and felt really better. Now its may 2017 my B12 is going dont and i now nearby 300pg/ml. i am confused either i have any stomach issues or STDs. but i did all the tests except hepatitis A. Again having a hard time my skin is getting rought on my neck like a big heat burn. I am confused what to do. My contact was on 2013 june unprotected anal sex.

      You need to have a daily vitamin regimen. Get something with at least 100mcg of B12. B12 is 3 components, a reservoir (90% or so) and an 8% that you actually use.. and folates are necessary to use that. You can test normal on B12 and still be deficient. And when I say normal, I mean mid range 600 or so.. 300 is symptomatic of severe deficiencies. Talk to a nutritionist.

    Much too low, neuro symptoms can exist, as someone else said, less than 600. 

     Are you on stains, metformin, or diuretic? The will kill your B12/Folates, along with a host of other vital amino acids (vitamins), as well as play havoc with their absorbtion.

    Low b12 will account for tingling, swelling, create anxiety/stress levels, lead to cardiac failure, etc.  Get a MMA and hist test.. and a full thyroid screen. The ones in the CBC are indicators. DID you know Physicians get only about 40 hours of low level nutrition info in their entire training?
