Advice greatly appreciated

Hi, last year I started to feel really rubbish and after some research online about my symptoms I figured it was B12 deficiency. I was given a blood test and told this was in the normal range. I wasn't satisfied at this as I knew all my symptoms were pointing to this so asked for a copy of my test results and although I cant remember the exact figure I think my level was 206 (range 200 to 800) so after putting a request in writing to the doctor to consider giving me the B12 injections they agreed to trial them for a year. I cannot begin to explain the improvement I have felt from these but recently I have began to feel really tired and exhausted all the time with zero energy. My doctor requested I have a Full Blood Count, Thyroid tested and Ferritin tested. The results came back from the lab as normal but due to my past experience I just wanted to share my results and ask if anyone can give me any advice if I need to research anything further to try and improve my energy levels.

You need to check folate, Vit D and possibly full thyroid tests. Following on from that you may need to check absorption issues.

I would say that your Feritin is low. 30 puts you at the low end of normal.
