Hi,

Did you have a ferritin or other type of iron test?

B12 241 ng/L [150-1000]

It is possible to have severe B12 deficiency with an in range B12 result. In UK, the emphasis in official guidelines is on treating people who are symptomatic for b12 deficiency even if B12 is within normal range.

Are you symptomatic for B12 deficiency?

B12 books I found useful

"What You Need to Know About Pernicious Anaemia and B12 Deficiency" by Martyn Hooper

Martyn Hooper is the chair of PAS (Pernicious Anaemia Society). Book is up to date with UK b12 guidelines.

"Living with Pernicious Anaemia and Vitamin B12 Deficiency" by Martyn Hooper

Has several case studies.

"Could it Be B12?: An Epidemic of Misdiagnoses" by Sally Pacholok and JJ. Stuart (USA authors)

Very comprehensive with lots of case studies.

I have written other more detailed replies recently on forum. May be useful info if you search for them. More B12 info in pinned posts on forum.

[1Cazza in reply to Sleepybunny]

You need an Active B12 test, i had one done at st thomas's hospital london and my NHS serum blood test was 334 about 4-6 weeks before on the private test i had done it was 304 and i was still found deficient and the people at the lab were so helpful with my GP. Its a leading world renowned hospital they cannot argue the result. I cannot recommend them and this test enough, they now do it by post as well.

[pet-lamb in reply to 1Cazza]

Thank you 1cazza I will see if GP will authorize that test if not ill pay for one .

[pet-lamb in reply to Sleepybunny]

Yes and no yes sleepybunny I have symptoms but no only tests done where those I copied off the report .symptoms are Burning /tingling roof of mouth and tongue

A sort of aching tingling lower legs (I'm not diabetic)

Elbow joints both sides are aching a lot

Mouth can be sore a bit sort of tender in places( dentist recently hasn't noticed anything) but I have extremely sensitive teeth. I have a fat geographic tongue.

General aches and pains with sharp pains stabbing into my body any part anytime these pains start as a sharp stab then radiate into my body before reducing and disappearing.

A numbness and cramping coming from my forearms into my hands the cramping goes into feet as well but these don't happen to hands and feet at same time.

A feeling of being off balance comes and goes occasionally.

Occasional short lived slight tinnitus

Increased arterial fibulation ?(spelling) it's a increase in palpitations like a bird wildly fluttering its wings. doctors are aware of this but it's increasingly now .I have hashimotos and I'm receiving treatment I also have osteoarthritis no treatment. I'm sure I have other symptoms but can't think of them at the moment that's another problem memory forgetting things confusion and I've noticed I can over heat and my brow sweats (recent heat wave?) Also so tired go to bed tired wake up tired nod off during the day . I can be irritable and resentful this is not like me .I get very constipated too. Thank you for helping just checked your link I have lots of the b12 symptoms .including feeling ill it comes like a wave I feel ok then from no where I feel so ill I would like to lye down if I could it doesn't last long but happens daily and sometimes frequently through the day .

Hi again,

Just to add that if you are supplementing b12 in any way it may affect results of Active B12 (Holotranscobalamin) test. Supplementing B12 without a diagnosis of B12 deficiency may make it difficult to get a diagnosis.

active-b12.com/frequently-a...

Has GP considered ordering MMA, Homocysteine tests?

[pet-lamb in reply to Sleepybunny]

Thank you sleepybunny I'm not supplementing at all but eat lots of bananas which I've just learned contain b12 had to stop eating as

Any as January's blood test came back with a top of range potassium level

[pet-lamb in reply to pet-lamb]

Oh and no doctors aren't taking me seriously no further tests ordered I'm talking to one on the phone on the 8th will I ask for these tests ?

[wedgewood in reply to pet-lamb]

Bananas do not contain vitamin B12 ! Only meat , fish, dairy products and eggs contain B12

[pet-lamb in reply to wedgewood]

Oops I read it somewhere wondered why that sounded odd .Thank you for clearing that up
