Normally the reference ranges are shown in brackets or they are with my GP, why are there black markings after the results?

[Andypandy30 in reply to lc1973]

Yes I don't understand why there's no ranges is it a ploy so I don't understand them . Sorry I put the black marks on as her name was on it . Do u know why Is it her puts her name after reading them or lab x

Andypandy30,

Contact your practice manager or contact the lab to ask for the ranges.

Im sorry i dont know why but then again i havent seen results shown in this way before either! Clutter has suggested contacting the Practice Manager, i think thats good advice and go from there...

Folate is too low. Are you getting a supplement for that as well as B12? I'd expect the ranges to be where the black marker is.

[Andypandy30]

What can I take Angel ?

Apparently some people feel worse after their first few injections of B12 (maybe head over to the PA forum)

You need a good B Complex.

Has your Vit D been tested?

Hi thanks for reply . I didn't realise this I will have a look at pa site . No they wouldn't do vit d and I really wanted that one . So will pay privately or should I go ahead and supplement .? Why do I need a b complex when I'm getting injections? And do I need to take folate supplement also . I'm prepared to try anything . I think my tsh is too low also .

[Marz in reply to Andypandy30]

B Complex contains all the B vitamins - which need to be in balance. Also B12 works with B9 in the body. B9 is Folic Acid. Thorne Research B Complex is a good one.

Think we have discussed this before 😊😊

[Andypandy30 in reply to Marz]

Thank you Marz I was worried to start them as I wanted to see how injections went . So stopped b12 supplements and realise the importance of taking the b complex e alongside the injections now X

I think you should test your Vit D before supplementing, it will let you know if you need to and also how much to supplement. No good taking a supplement which is either too high or too low for your needs.
