Is it possible to have pa and raised hb?

[turkey2014]

I have just had some blood results which are showing raised hb levels. I have B12 injections every 8 weeks.

Yes I think so as I have B12 deficiency but quite high Hb, which actually then increased from 14 to 15 when I started B12 injections. I got neurological symptoms but no anaemia. The research says 30% of people with B12 deficiency do not get anaemia.

I don't have anaemia either. Good levels of folate (B9) seem to reduce the risk of anaemia which may be one reason why why the number of people with B12 who don't have anaemia seems to be growing (supplementation certainly seems to be a factor in the US).

However, different people exhibit different symptoms in different areas and it may also be partly because people are becoming more aware of the other areas.
