The CBC is the "complete blood count" and is a routine test done at checkups. Doctors mostly ignore the MCV...part of it, but if elevated or close to out of the upper range given, it can suggest low B12.
The B12 test is not in the routine of yearly check up and has to be ordered separately.
Post your results here, and the letters after the numbers so I can convert them if necessary.
Ranges from labs still reflect the outdated beliefs, and the new protocols have changed over the last decade or so. Don't accept "normal" because people who do may in fact be very low, and continue to suffer.
Try soaking in epsom salt baths to see if the magnesium will help too. Magnesium blocks the pain receptors called NMDA ...and low magnesium leads to more pain for some people.
This is my magnesium thread:
