b12 test result

[katherine107]

i had a blood test done for b12 which i requested from gp. the result was 765ng. i was told it is in normal range. i have underactive thyroid and fibromyalgia and never feel well and just wondered is the this result normal. the reference range went up to 1000ng it think.

I wish my levels were that high - normally the top range for B12 is 950 with the bottom range being 190, so your levels look great.

Hows your VitD?

Mine was 195 and they said I'm fine...I have since started 'self-treating' with a tablet a day from Holland and Barrett..

I am not a doctor and so this is only my own humble opinion, but 195 is very low, at 220 and 196 I was VERY symptomatic. I supplemented with Jarrow formula methylcobalamin 5000 sublingual from Amazon, that really helped to get my levels up. I feel so much better. x

Thanks I'll look that up when I get back - what were the symptoms btw?

[tingles]

very similar to thyroid in lots of ways. but for me the real tell was numbness in my left toes, it had gone on for five years, then I started to get numbness in my finger tips. Mental confusion, thought I had alzheimers! tired all the time, breathless, etc,

I am now a B12 convert, it has changed my life so much for the better. my range at the last blood test was not even a number .....just > 1500
