If you were my: patient, I would treat you for B12 deficiency after also checking MMA (methylmalonic acid) and homocysteine. 200 pg/ml is usually considered the lower limit of normal but with modest anemia, elevated MCH, symptoms and family history I would go ahead and treat you. I hope you feel better soon. Stay well:)
