High B12 results.

[Everdean]

I have heard that having very high B12 blood test results can indicate a health problem. Please could someone enlarge on that info ?

I have all the symptoms of low b12 but my results are usually high in range or way over.

Thank you

Have you had your homocysteine or Mma levels checked.?

There is also so thing called functional b12 deficiency

Also have folate checked and iron and vit d for full picture

[Nackapan]

Also liver and kidney tests I'm sure your doctor would've done with fbc. Good tou get answers soon

I haven't heard of the first 2 tests Nackapan. My Dr never seems concerned about the high levels of B 12. I will look up about the functional B12 deficiency.

My folate at last blood test was 18.7 ( 3.9 ) Vit D120nmol (750)

Thank you.

Thank you very much Sleepybunny. My foggy brain is making it hard for me to do research.

That is very interesting.

My levels are always high.

I was recently diagnosed with either Lupus or Sjogrens. But when I went to see the Rheumatologist. She was only interested in my age, and suggested I was vegetarian. So blaming me for my health. I might be old, (so have paid a lot of tax, and still do ). I am not a vegetarian, I think that would be foolish having PA.

We go to these "so called" experts for answers and help. Not intimidation and assumptions.

On the day I saw her, I was having a bad day and could not get it together, you know, I was 2steps behind everything, and I could not stick up for myself.

She also asked why I was using a stick, another assumption. I had tinnitus, balance problems, I need knee and hip surgery, and have 4lower discs compressed in my back, and I have sciatica.

I think I cried all the way home, ( not for the first time). I don't ever want to see another doctor. Just because they can't be bothered to do the job they are paid for, then they blame the patient.

My daughter bought me CDB oil, and it has helped tremendously with the pain. I now SI. My B12. And wish I could administer my own thyroid meds. Then I would never have to have contact with my useless GPs.

Sorry for the rant.

Wish you all good health.

Thank you for sharing your experience Mannequine18. You've had a very tough time.

I too hate going to see a doctor after having had some very bad experiences with them although we do need them ofcourse.

I self medicated with thyroid meds after I was told that my thyroid was fine when I knew it wasn't (my mum had thyroid problems). I got my own thyroid meds but obviously I wasn't on enough because eventually it showed up in blood tests. That's several years ago now. Since then I have been diagnosed with autoimmune thyroid ME fibromyalgia osteoporosis, and Coeliac disease. I believe much of my problems were caused by not being treated initiall for thyroid issues, but I could be wrong.

I struggle to get my thyroid meds right though , it's a constant problem. Especially as I am being bullied by one Dr who says I am over medicating on the basis of one blood test when clearly I'm not according to two other blood tests.

I would like to know about the CBD oil. I believe their are different strengths. What would you recommend please?

[Mannequin18]

Thank you for your support. It sounds like you have been through the mill as well.

The one my daughter bought are 400mg CDB&CDBa, 5mg of cannabis per tablet.they are made from coconut oil, cannabis extract and vegetable oil.

I would never have believed it could work so well, if someone had told me so.

But they have worked.

Good luck.

Please would you PM me where your daughter bought the CBD from please Mannequine18? Thank you
