I've lost a fair amount of weight and I'm exhausted much of the time. I have been under a great deal of stress, so that may account for some of that. I'm a little frustrated that she brushed it off so quickly.
Hi Pixel,
If you feel she blew you off call her back. Don't be afraid to request a new blood draw for your B12 level. Tell her you want to be sure it is that high because you feel it is concerning and would like to take the proper b12 level with you to the neuro.

Be polite but be your own advocate.
