[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2677007, member: 372207"] Your GP is wrong. Copied from the leaflet ([URL]https://www.geneesmiddeleninformatiebank.nl/bijsluiters/h128396_piluk.pdf[/URL]): [I]Common (may affect up to 1 in 10 people) • changes in taste • decreased or low vitamin B12 levels in the blood (symptoms may include extreme tiredness (fatigue), a sore and red tongue (glossitis), pins and needles (paraesthesia) or pale or yellow skin). Your doctor may arrange some tests to find out the cause of your symptoms because some of these may also be caused by diabetes or due to other unrelated health problems.[/I] Instead of buying a testing kit (no idea if this is possible), I'd show him the leaflet and ask for B12 to be included in your next blood test.
