High vitamin b 12. Concerned


[Bl...]

Recommended Posts

My vitamin b12 levels are very high, almost 2000 pg/ ml

I read that this can be a sign of leukemia or liver disease.

But My Rheumatoid factor is also very high

 

I think this is all because of taper but now I am scared

Anyone else having this issue?

Have you thought about getting it checked again?

 

I had bloodwork done by two separate doctors (a VA doctor and a doctor outside the VA system) and both were taken around the same time. Surprisingly, when comparing my iron results I saw that they registered at opposite ends of the range/spectrum from each other. It was concerning because my iron has fluctuated this entire benzo ordeal and, consequently, an accurate reading is paramount. I have issues with folate too...so...this area of health, iron/folate has been as clear as mud to me. ;D

 

I also have to watch my B12 as I tend to hover at the low, low end with it. Several years ago, however, I did register outside the range at the high end with B12, but only after I had been supplementing for awhile did this occur.

 

Currently, I am supplementing B12 again. So like my iron count I do need to keep an eye on where I stand with B12.

 

D is another one that runs at the low end of the range for me as well....and I do take a moderately low dose of D daily.

 

I hope you are able to get it resolved.
