Poll - B12
I need to re-test. If they are still slipping with my amped up levels I'll push her harder or find another doctor.
Seems like the farther out people are the better the shots are for the B12.
I was told to hold off on B12 for a week and test it. They you may know if you getting the B12 and retaining. That what I was told by an old doc. My results were OK with subliguals. But my blood red blood cells showed B12 deficiencies. (they were large).
that's when my doc asked me when I took the B12 - how far from the test. and told me to get "real " B12 - to wait a week.
the week after - B12 was just 500.
And I was taking 5000mcg metylcobalmin once a day (at least).
High MCV
In presence of hemolytic anaemia, presence of reticulocytes can increase MCV. In pernicious anemia (macrocytic), MCV can range up to 150 femtolitres. An elevated MCV is also associated with alcoholism[2] (as are an elevated GGT and a ratio of AST:ALT of 2:1). Vitamin B12 and/or folic acid deficiency has also been associated with macrocytic anemia (high MCV numbers).

.She injects in my Arm and does it Deep IM.
My last tests are kind of mis leading since it was done 2 days after a shot. I know at 3 weeks after a shot I will be in the low 500s which is why I do the shot every 2 weeks.
