B12 management

With recent bloods of B12 showing 211 (200-) I have just seen gp and was told it was normal and did not require treatment. I had pdf with guidance and argued the point. Was told it had gone up from 133 (180-) 2 years ago and would take time. Advised supplements from Holland & Barrett. I advised I did not feel I was absorbing it, should be medicated with injections etc..

Long & short agreed to ask haematology re: need for B12 injections, if they agree will do. If not they won’t, so I said I would sort myself!

Repeat bloods to include intrinsic factor & parietal antibodies that were -ve before, I discussed -ve not always conclusive.

Finished by saying if it was 133 then would inject...that made my blood boil!!!

Moving forward but having to fight all the way!
