Can any one interpret my blood results please?

[Susynew]

I have been housebound for 8 months due to constant pain in my knees, neck & back. I had an mri scan 3 years ago on my lower back which came back negative. My mobility is beyond poor. I'm unable to do the simplest tasks & I'm confined to one room. I saw a neurologist to determine whether I have MS recently. She thinks my health problems are musculoskeletal. I'd like to rule out osteoarthritis /lupus etc. but I'm confused by my blood test results. I'd just like an answer as to why I'm suffering so much. Any advice would be appreciated.

You don't have any:

1. Vitamin D test results

2. Vitamin B12 test results

3. Ferritin test results

4. Folate test results

Do you have any results from those in the last year? If they are older than a year you need a repeat.

Having unexplained bone and muscle pains is a symptom of vitamin D deficiency. Having low vitamin B12, ferritin and folate levels also contributes to these symptoms and to why your mean cell volume is out of range.

and lastly the original message I posted showed my latest blood results in April 2016 I missed 2 test results

Serum creatine kinase level 81 u/L [25.0-200.0]

I take vitamin D tablets 5000iu , chelated magnesiumn 200mg, cod liver oil 1000mg & a multi vitamin 3 times per week.

I'd be very interested to hear your thoughts on the above. Thank you in advance for any help.

Your B12 was far too low on that test, B12 needs to be around 1000. Low b12 (under 500) affects nerves (eg in spine).

[Susynew in reply to Angel_of_the_North]

Thank you thats really helpful information. I'll make sure to get some B12 supplements. Did everything else look ok?

[Angel_of_the_North in reply to Susynew]

The others don't' tell you a lot - they look ordinary. D3 is good. No useful ones like ferritin or Free T3 or free T4

Do you have a diagnosed thyroid problem ? there are no thyroid test results so possibly difficult for us to comment.

[Susynew in reply to bantam12]

Hi. Thank you for your reply. I don't have a diagnosed thyroid problem. I've included new details in the post above. Please let me know your thoughts. Many thanks.
