A member asked:

Where to get b12 testing & possibly shots? gp?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes, primary care...: Any licensed provider can check a B12 level. You can probably even get it at a independent lab for a fee too. As far as the shots, a primary care provider can give you these. Be advised that many people don't need the shots, though, and that the over the counter pills can work just as well for many people.

Rheum diagnosed fibromyalgia 2019 at the time creatine kinase 711. Also b12 1807 and ferritin 246 but gp did not share those results with rheum. Would rheum still diagnose fibro if they had known? Do you think this is still fibro?
