Hello guys! Hope everyone is making progress with their journey to health.
I have had a hard few years since my last pregnancy and recently I decided to take more of an active role in my health journey. My last blood results came in and it seems as if I could have pernicious anemia. I am currently away from home for a while, my doctors asked for me to come in immediately but I was already away by the time I got the call.
I am hesitant to see a doctor here as health care is pretty costly. I would be happy to pay for supplements if possible.
My results are as follows-
Serum vitamin d (GTHOM)- abnormal 16
B12/folate level - abnormal 202
(180-1100.00pg/ml)
Serum folate- 2.8
(3.00-13.00ng/ml)
Serum ferritin- (GTHOM) - abnormal 7.3
(20.00-300.00ug/L)
Needs replacement
Thyroid function test- (GTHOM)- normal
Serum free T4 12.1
(10.30-24.50pmol/L)
Serum TSH level 1.14
(0.30-5.50mlU/L)
Serum cholesterol 4
(1.00-5.00mmol/L)
Serum triglycerides 1.5
(0.50-2.00mmol/L)
Serum HDL cholesterol level 1.3
(1.00-1.90mmol/L)
Serum LDL cholesterol level 2
(1.00-3.00mmol/L)
Total cholesterol: HDL ratio 3.08
Non HDL level: 2.7
Anyone has similar results? What diagnosis did you recieve and what kind of treatment was recommended?
Much thanks everyone

your vitamin D and your folate are both in the deficient range - your B12 is also probably deficient and your ferritin is very low indicating that you probably have an iron absorption problem.
Treatment for B12 absorption problems is injections - exactly how depends on symptoms.
You are probably feeling very ill. You definitely need treatment.
