Hi
I have got the results of my latest blood test. For background information I finished a six injection over two weeks loading dose of b12 a week ago and have been on 3 iron tablets daily for a month. These are the results I just received (thanks for all the advice and support about how to make the GP give me my blood test results. The latest "treatment" resulting from these blood tests is that the three monthly b12 injection I was supposed to be having has now been cancelled. Because I don't need it as my b12 is high now. I felt rubbish before the injections, great whilst having them and for a week afterwards, now rubbish again. But the GP says it can't be the b12 as my levels are high now and if I feel poorly due to B12 deficiency I wouldn't feel poorly any more because my b12 isn't deficient any more. I have no idea what to do.
Serum folate level (42U5.) 4.2 ug/L
Serum ferritin level (XE24r) 32ug/L
Serum vitamin B12 level (XE2pf) Above range
Serum TSH level (XaELV) 1.4ml/U/L
Haemoglobin concentration (Xa96v) 125g/L
Total white blood count (XaldY) 5.5 10*9/L
Platelet count - observation (42P..) 253 10*9/L
Red blood cell count (426..) 4.54 10*12/L
Mean cell volume (42A..) 86.3fL
Haematocrit (X76tb) 0.392 L/L
Mean cell haemoglobin level (XE2pb) 27.5pg
Mean cell haemoglobin concentration 319g/L (outside reference range)
I don't know what any of this means, have just copied it direct from the blood test sheet. There are more results but not sure of they were relevant? If anyone has any advice on these numbers I'd appreciate it. Many thanks.
It would be helpful if you could add the ranges after the results. Labs differ in their machines and ranges can be different.
