Hi everyone.

I’m looking for some information off people who suffer with B12 deficiency.

I had blood works done 3 months ago with B12 showing at 176 catergorised as ‘low’ doctor refused to give me anything even though my symptoms are as follows.

Tiredness all the time.

Pins and needles hands and feet

Tingling back off thighs

Lazy legs ( feel week all the time )

Irritable

Bad mood swings

Genuinely feeling so low and can’t function on times

Repeated headaches

Rapid heart rate that I can hear

Most of which are symptoms.

Finally found a new doctor surgery and registered there, they done a further b12 test which shows level 146, this coming Friday I have my first injection and will be given leaflets and information regarding b12 then.

My new Gp was disgusting that I wasn’t treated for this the first time round.

Have anyone else experienced anything like this

Thanks in advance x

    Hey hayley, 146 is way too low, I read that in Japan they raised the recommended levels from 500 up to 1300. So you can see how screwed up we are if we don't start to be our own physicians. I as well, have a story of medical neglect, one of the doctors i went to even said i should stop taking any supplements at all, when i was clearly severely deficient.  It's a battle everyday. You're not alone.
