haemoglobin values.

[Yingtong22]

hello good souls. I have had PA for 40 years.

My haemoglobin level is always around 103 and ferrous normal.

it is always considered to be expected in view of my B12 deficiency. Therefore acceptable.

Do others have this problem. I feel it causes me tiredness and lack of energy.

Hi Yingtong22,

Sorry to read you are tired and lacking in energy. When was your last Hydroxycobalamin/cyanocobalamin injection ? Do you actually have the level of your ferritin ?

Just ‘normal’ is generally not good enough in my book.

[Yingtong22 in reply to Narwhal10]

my last Hydroybalomin was 2 weeks ago, i self inject My last Ferritin is 176 ug/l and Folate 6.5 ug/l.

I think that is ok.

I will post my full blood count if I can copy it here.

Thank you for your interest.

Scientist, not medic.

No, it's not acceptable!

You're anaemic, although not desperately so, but something's causing it and your GP is paid to look after you. Which means it would be entirely reasonable for them to elucidate exactly why you're anaemic, and do something about it.

Good luck on your journey.

Very good to hear from you Flipper. Thank you for your reply. That is what I thought. I feel it is to tackle it with my pretty good GP
