Hello,
I have a B12 defiencicy diagnosed March 2017 and have received 12 weekly injections from the surgery.
I have just received a random phone call from a GP from the surgery, to tell me I should not request any further B12 injections. I asked why and was told my last B12 blood test was 1360 (180-914) taken 20/12/18.
I tried to explain that I had just received an injection on 30/11/2018, 20 days previous so yes it would be high. The GP was very strange to say the least saying I had dangerously high levels and no further treatment would be provided.
My readings from diagnosis to date are
14/3/17 98 (180-914)
24/04/18 196 (180-914)
07/09/18 162 (180-914)
20/12/18 1360 (180-914)
As you can see I was deficient again in September so following fabulous advice from here I started to self injection. I gave myself loading doses again and have taken one evey four weeks since. I have continued to also receive them from my GP practice every twelve weeks. The GP who rang me today has still clearly not understood the information I provided him with from nice at the begining of my diagnosis (he at first cancelled all my loading doses and was over ruled by another partner)
I am now very worried about this and would also like to complain about him and his bedside manner again, could somebody please help me with my next step forward to educate this ridiculous man.
Many thanks for reading.
