It surely is great, Erin, to find the B12 deficiency and begin to treat it!

Because I have Polycythemia Vera, I have a high B12 score. I forget exactly what it is: 1250, or something like that. It goes with the territory and no one told me why. Do I not absorb what i consume, and it floats around in the blood? I have no idea.

When i was much younger I had to have B12 shots because I was anemic from a too heavy monthly period. I could not take iron (that was explained on later diagnosis) but B12 snapped me out of anemia.
