After all, I may not have large RB cells anymore according to my last blood work. I just didnt know how to read but I know now.
It was about 2-3 years ago when I had large red blood cells. I wasnt told anything else and I didnt ask because I was overwhelmed with gastro issues. At the time, the doctor was checking if I had celiac disease.
In my newest blood work, my RB cells are 92 so normal but my haemoglobin is low 120 (normal range start at 123). My vit B12 is at 394 (198-615pmol/L). I am guessing I am still in the lower normal and I was around 330 2 years ago when I had my large red blood cells. I thought thanks God, I am in the normal range no worries. But on this forum, I learned that the acceptable normals in North-America are kinda low.
Now I have a long list of weird symptoms with my fatigue my list can be quite confusing for doctors who like to make a diagnostic under 5min. This is why I decided to come to the net and looking for answers so I dont miss anything my blood work may be saying.
I have fatigue and maybe an underlying adrenal fatigue and I am in the process of checking that. But one of my mysterious symptom is darkening of some areas of skin (not due to sun). I also have a penetrating pain something like a needle charged with electricity at many places in my upper body. And my last very weird symptom is a painful to the touch skin except on legs. It is getting better but now it is mostly if I scratch or touch in a certain way maybe it depends on moment too.
I may have many issues at the same time but along with checking and addressing issues with my adrenal and thyroid I would like to do improve my vit B levels as I am now well aware of the importance of this vit.
I guess most of my health issues have their root in my gastro-intestinal issues which may be from stress (adrenal?) and I am sure I do not absorb a lot of what I eat. I get discouraged something thinking what I wasteI am shopping at Whole Foods for all these organic good food but the toilet boil is getting a good share of that. There is no way someone with all the good food I eat and has been taking vit B complex all year for about 10 years would be vit B deficient.
Please tell me what sort of vit B 12 I should take. I have read some of Freeds posts and the vit B to use under the tongue but I dont know if thats good for me. I am not really expecting any doctor to prescrib me vit B12 injections. I am in Canada where we have the best health care of the world but only when our health is already destroyed the doctors step in to help. I have to go from doctor to doctor to find someone who would give me the good tests even if I have all of the symptoms. So I would like to do the best I can for myself.
