Since my first post on here I've been diagnosed with Pernicious anaemia as the cause of my very low b12 level (58) I received my 6 loading doses and was told they would be every 3 months thereafter. As I had some of the neurological problems I asked if I could have more of the loading doses, the doctor I asked said they'd need to see what my b12 level was now to see if I still needed them, this was only 8 days after the last loading dose so I said of course they would be high but he insisted.
The next week I saw the doctor who originally thought to test my b12 levels, as expected my level was high, I showed her the guidelines I was kindly given on here and she agreed to discuss it with the practice manager. They agreed to give me another 6 loading doses, the doctor has been monitoring my improvement, saying they don't want to give me any more than I need as they don't want to overdose me. I pointed out that that shouldn't happen as it's water soluble etc (as seen on this site) she wasn't convinced but is obviously trying to do her best for me. I have other health problems including osteoporosis and tested low in vit D, my doctor said she has 2 or 3 other patients with PA and these symptoms and she is trying to find out how to treat us, as I am intolerant of alendronic acid and the calcium tablets give me constipation. I've been taking vit D tablets and she sent me for another dexa scan and it's shown that the bone density in my spine has worsened but at least she is on our case so I'm hopeful.
