Hi

Can I get an opinion on my blood test results specifically Vitamin B12, Folate, Vitamin D, Iron but there are other test results on there. The first one was private (done in July 19) and the second through GP (done in Oct 19) but GP didn’t test B12. Link to tests:

Symptoms

-Fatigue, low energy

-Mood swings, irritability

-difficulty concentrating and thinking

-brain fog

-Low libido

-Impotence

-Hair loss/thinning, (may be androgenic alopecia), some greying

-(I’ve had a balance disorder since 2012 which can give some of the above and below symptoms (which has been manageable) however its seems to have gotten worse over the last 9 months or so and just wanted to see if anything else could be contributing to it/making it worse (vitamin deficiency etc)

I never got a proper diagnosis/explanation but it was/is supposedly a vestibular, inner ear nerve problem. I’ve had vestibular rehabilitation physiotherapy which somewhat helped although the exercises are not helping currently (I will be seeing a neuro-otologist privately in a few weeks for a second opinion).

Balance symptoms

dizziness imbalance/feeling off balance

difficulty walking

floating feeling

lightheaded

forgetfulness

recently pain/throbbing on back of my neck

etc

I have been supplementing for almost a year with Vitamin D3 3000iu and Vitamin code raw calcium (2 capsules) as I don't consume dairy and don't get enough calcium from my diet gardenoflife.com/content/pr...

Vitamin B12 (according to cronometer I am getting around 1.2ug of B12 from diet which is mainly from chicken)

Folate (according to cronometer I am getting around 405ug of Folate from diet mainly from Quinoa, Avocado, Oatmeal. 400ug is supposedly the RDI but my Folate is still on the lower end)

(Can provide more info if needed)

Thanks Male, 25

I've also a referral to a neuro opthalomogist. . Having similar problems to you. Also migranes of varying sorts and headaches

I do cawthorne e exercises that helped with balance and ti get walking again.

Do you ear9 mushrooms and other foods for vitamin d? I'm surprised not higher with the supplement you are taking.

B12 seems very high if I'm reading it right . If you are on b12 injections that would explain it.

Have you pA ? Or low b12

Was your balance disorder from b12 deficiency?
