hi all πŸ₯° All of 11 mins discussing my blood results with GP - (Bloods) serum B12 221ng/L (<178) B12 active 49.2 pmol/L (37.5 - 188) NICE guidelines suggest borderline deficiency! Gp said all normal nothing wrong with me! Serum folate 3.8ug/L (less than 7 can indicate deficiency)

My memory and concentration awful. Brain fog terrible even forgetting words! Lethargy and twitching in my legs at night! Sleepy/ sleeping in the daytime. I said the NICE suggest borderline deficiency and she just ignored it!

any suggestions would be helpful as am Hypothyroid! And if there is anyone who could help me source B12 for I/M injections can they private message me as I’m interested thank you ☺️

She was more concerned about my low TSH which is 00.052 (posted in Thyroid Uk)

(0.27 - 4.2) miU/L she said it’s to low and I need to lower my dose as when too low can cause lethargy! I said I will discuss with my GP. πŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆπŸ™ˆ I am currently on 100mcg a day! It it was worked out by weight I should be on more!
