Has anyone had this?
Some doctors ran some tests awhile back, and this showed up as being low. No one made a big deal about it, but I asked about it, and they put me on some B12 supplements. I don't know if they've helped. I don't know what typical signs and symptoms of B12 deficiency are, even though I've googled it and stuff because I've never talked to another person who has had the disorder. I have very tingly and funny feeling extremeties, loss of appetite, and fatigue. Maybe plus some other symptoms. I also have iron deficiency anemia that my dr never got around to telling me about (I can read my own charts on the computer), so I never got my supplements for that. Plus, I'm on a ton of meds and I'm still recovering from a chronic illness, so I don't know what's doing what do my body. Has anyone had B12 anemia and can describe what it does to your body? Thanks.
