I have Ben looking for those ranges as I go back to get my levels next Monday and would lie to have them handy.


Also, I have been getting shot since Feburary. But I still can not go more than a week without feeling anemic again. I am on iron supplements and that has helped some, but I was wondering if I am missing something else here.


Thanks

I got some of my numbers yesterday.

B-12 1024 (up from 286 in February)
Was told my MMA was now reading on the low end of the scale indicating adequate supplementation.

Ferratin 25 (was just above 12 in February)
Folate was "fine" (no number given)


My PCP told me I could stop the Iron pills I have been taking. I told her that I really wanted my Ferratin levels to a minimum of 50 because I felt like crap when I was not taking it. She told me her main concern was the possibility of iron deposits on my organs, but I could continue taking the iron with supervision.

So what do you think? Good? Bad?
