Not sure I have seen a minus result before. Gosh that is bad. So what is your GP doing to help you ? Have been reading your earlier posts and your results should now all be in - can you post them here in one post so people can help you more effectively. Post the result with the range. We are still waiting for your B12 result too.

What medication are you taking and what supplements do you take ?

Happy to help - but we need more information :-)

Having copies of your results is a legal entitlement. Always obtain copies for monitoring your own progress and for taking control of your health. Normal is an opinion and NOT a result from your GP about the B12. It needs to be around 1000 if you are Hypo.

Have a feeling the dose of D3 you have been prescribed is far too LOW. You need to be taking at least 5000 IU's daily and should initially have had loading doses to get your levels above minus.
