A member asked:
Bloods reveal low b12 and fettatin. i have been exhausted (no matter how much sleep) palpitations, numbness in arms and legs and was covered in bold spots for 48hrs (mostly gone now) is it all connected? what treatment should fix it all?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low B12 level definitely needs treatment. In addition to ferritin level,.I like to check serum iron & the iron binding capacity. If the former is low.& the latter is high, it emphasizes the need for iron replacement as well. If you have antibodies to intrinsic factor, you have inability to absorb B12 from foods. Your neurological symptoms are characteristic of pernicious anemia& you need B12 shots
