Hi, These are my latest blood tests. Can't see any mention of Ferritin or Vit D, which were both supposed to be tested.

( DVC) -ok B12 451 ng/L (130-800) Serum Folate 8.0ug/L (4-20)

FBC ( DVC ) -ok

HB 133 g/l (120-160) WBCs 6.9 10*9 /L ( 4.0-11.0)

Platelet count 245 10*9/l (150-400) RBCs 4.20 10*12/l

Haematocrit 0.396 L/L (0.350-0.450 )

MCV 94.4 fL (80-100) MCH 31.7 pg (27.0-32.0)

Red blood cell distribution width 13.3 (11.0-14.5)

Mean platelet volume 9.9 fL (6.5-20.0)

Neutrophil count 4.6 10*9/L (2.0-7.5) Lymphocyte count 1.6 10*9/L (1.5-4.0)

Monocyte count 0.2 10*9/L (0.2-0.4) Eosinophil count 0.2 10*9/L (0.0-0.4)

Last time ferritin was tested it was 54 ug/L (12-250 ) ( 25/11/13 )

All in range , but still don't feel good.

I think I saw something about it takes longer for the results of Vit D. to come back.Maybe thats why I haven't got them.

Hi Yes, NHS vit D can take 3 weeks. When ever you have blood done, ask what they are testing.For Iron/ferritin there are 2 tests, you need to ask for the one with a transference % , this measure absorption and the only way of telling if your iron/ferritin is OK.This is Endo. b12 needs to be higher, only injections really work. Unless seeing an Endo unlikely the gP will help with that. if vit D low, then you need a calcium test before treatment, ask.

You also need cholesterol, relevant , diabetes, autoimmune, hormonal too.D is hormonal ideally under an Endo.

Thanks Jackie, I saw endo in January, not consultant I was meant to see. 4-45p.m,

he spent about 20 minutes telling me my tests were " in range", didn't seem interested in how I felt.He finally said I could have folate tested. Think he just wanted to go home.I was last one there. So I said goodbye and left. He said he would write to my dr, but not heard anything yet.
