Need a second opinion from the knowledgeable folks out there - anything out of order? Doc says everything but D-3 is ok, but didn't tell me to change anything either. (I know my cholesterol and triglycerides are out of whack, but they have come down quite a bit in three months!)

HDL 28

LDL 119

TRIGLYCERIDES 189

PTH 26

Yep, your D need to be about double this.

I'm not Kelly but NO, you need this UP as soon as possible. Are you experiencing any tingling, memory loss, fatigue, shortness of breath?

Oh no, not close. Below 400 you can get nerve damage. Got numbness or tingling in your hands and feet yet? And below 550 people usually get tired and depressed. Ideally it would be around 1000.

How much B12 have you been taking?

One 2500mcg once a week...I was told 1000mcg once a week. Have been dragging lately. No numbness or tingling. I am going to my PCP in a little while. I may ask him about shots.

Thanks!

I would take 1000 every day, get labs in three months and if it is at an acceptable letter, then change it to every other day or every couple of days.

The ASMBS recommends 350-500 per day. Regardless, with your B12 so low, I would start doing those 2500 mcg daily for a couple months, then test again. Or shots. If you do shots, many people only need them once a month but I would do them weekly for a couple months to get your level up first. Actually, I need them weekly to keep my level up at all.
