B12, Folate & FBC results...

[joey82]

Hi, would someone be so kind to have a look at these blood tests for me please. I am a hashimoto's/hypothyroid patient who has struggled to regain my health and I am looking into weather B12 deficiency/PA is an underlying issue. My last B12 injection was back in October and I came off my Pure B-complex for 2 weeks before the blood draw. Thank you in advance.

I do have previous B12 serum & active from Sept '24 from blue horizon and had a FBC via the GP's December 20th '24. That only measured B12 serum. I can't see any obvious issues when comparing the FBC results.

Thank you in advance.

HI joey82

Welcome to the forum.

" I am looking into weather B12 deficiency/PA is an underlying issue. My last B12 injection was back in October"

I'm curious as to why you were on B12 injections previously....

Apologies for a quick reply, I'm struggling with an increase in neuro symptoms recently.

I left detailed replies in threads below which you might find useful.

Some links I post may have details that could be upsetting to read.

Is there a link between functional B12 deficiency and functional B2 (riboflavin) deficiency?

Thank you Sleepybunny. I've read some of these posts before as kindly directed by other forum members.

I went onto B12 jabs last year and had 7 in total betterment April & October. I only had them to see if the injections made a difference to my symptoms. But they didn't unfortunately.

I've decided to do some more digging in the last few weeks to see if there is an underlying issue with B12. I had my first jab of the year last week and I didn't feel any different for it.

I'm going to try b-complex injections and see how that goes. I've got a weeks worth of Pure encapsulations b-complex left. I'll use them up.
