Hi Chouchou. sorry to hear your so poorly. Have you a recent B12 result? Are you on any medication? Ferritin can go up quite a bit in six months, mine did after a couple of weeks on a supplement. Maybe ask to have it checked again in 3 months to make sure nothing more is going on.

Thank you for the reply. Not on medication but eating red meat.

B12 is high too 1056

Thank you

Are you supplementing B12? Over range b12 without supplementation can indicate kidney problems.

I have been but it’s been high for a long while . I checked kidney and they are good.

Maybe give the milkthistle a break as not good with thyroid hormones and look at pernicious anaemia symptoms. You can still have problems with lack of B12 when your bloods are high. There is a PA forum on health unlocked you could take a look at if you feel able.

Thank you . My brain doesn’t even function so reading this it says it’s not good? But better liver function helps conversion?

My liver enzymes is very high so I don’t know how to help it. I’m taking 1200mcg NAC but that doesn’t seem to be helping.

Thank ypu again
