High levels of vitamin B12 with vasculitis

[bowler]

Could high levels of B12 [ without taking supliments ] be linked to vasculitis ?

[Essex-jill]

I have WG but have low levels of Vitamin B12 and have to take medication.

Hi Essex-jill

Thank you for your reply.

I have all the symptoms of WG and waiting for a referral to Addenbrooks hospital my B12 is over 900, just out of range, obviously nothing to do with my suspected WG ?

[Essex-jill in reply to bowler]

You will be in excellent hands as I too go to Addenbrookes. Doctor David Jayne and his team are brilliant. So knowledgeable and caring. Good luck.

Thank you for your good wishes,

I already attend Addenbrooks for Giant Cell Arteritis, but that comes under Rheumatology. I have heard so much about Dr. David Jayne and his team on this site, I hope I don't have to wait too long for an appointment.

[Essex-jill in reply to bowler]

I hope you don't wait too long either. If you have any problems then ring Sue Reid, Doctor Jaynes secretary as she is very helpful. Let us know how you get on.
