I need to get my regular tests done soon so I will request they test for B12 and vit D as well. Now I'm curious about my levels.

I got tested for B12 and D today, will have results in a week or two. The doctor had to work to get it covered by insurance but I got the test.

My B12 levels are pretty low and I need to start getting B12 shots weekly, then monthly after that!! I also have high thyroid levels and need to take a pill to lower that!! Both can affect my fatigue levels!

I'm glad that you found those things out Wiz.
For sure they can have an effect on fatigue levels, as well as a whole lot of other things. Hope that it all gets sorted out and that you feel better.

With love, Erika

Happy to report that my Vit D levels have climbed a bit. Months ago I got my first test- I was a 4. I take 5000IU of Vit D3 daily and my level is now at 12. Plan is to stay on current 5000IU daily dose since the goal is to get me into the upper end of the range.

If only my other pills were so cheap and easy...

Jane,

My vitamin D level is 41 on a scale of 30-100 so I might start taking another gelcap daily until the sunny weather arrives.
