I found my orginial folate and b12 tests from 2006.....not sure if this will help...as soon as i get copies of the more recent results I will post them.
folate, rbc 653 nmol/l b12 362 pmol/l alkaline phosphatase 105. ast 20. alt 13. Does this make sense to anyone? LOL Oh and .....the first page shows the following high lighted results....not really sure what that means except the is an up arrow beside them. MCV 96.5 MCH 32.6 WBC DIFF. EOSINOPHILS 0.13 1.14 BASOPHILS 0.02 0.18 I'm assuming that is the white blood cell count and it is high......just so you know....I don't have a spleen. |

It looks to me like on the basis of that B12, you have an explanation for all your symptoms. I'd want to see proof that they are really good now, on the high end of normal, if not OVER the normal, before pronouncing you okay.
These are not okay. If the MCV is over the limit of normal, that means the low B12 was affecting your red blood cells, and your body was sending out a lot of new, younger cells, which are bigger than the average cell. I don't know the range of normal MCV offhand, but if it's flagged, I'd guess it's high. Please read Rose's stickies on B12 and how to make sure you get the right amount into your system.

is 100.
So you are almost out of range. MCV often points to low B12. Other tests would be MMA and homocysteine to confirm. But since B12 is benign to take as a supplement, I'd just start it. In Japan they treat anyone below 500 serum range.
