[QUOTE="donnellysdogs, post: 1303316, member: 17713"] I had anaemia... and hB showing it too. My GP and I discussed because of my limited eating and decided that I should have overcooked broccoli, spinach only in smoothies and 30g of rice crispies on days of no natural iron. Altjough this is a very low intake essentially it has avoided needing iron supplements. Gp and I dead against them because of the effects on stomach and mines already bad. I also got declared with pernicious anaemia iaround 2006 and having jabs for it. Both folate and b12 low. Then changed address and welsh gp refused injections. Then paid privately to an anaethetist in Bridgend to give me infusions of vitamins!! Moved back to England and decided to let levels go liw and insist GP treats. After 4 years off jabs my levels climbed so high they thought it possible ai had luekaemia.....I waan't supplementing at all. Turned out I had breast cancer. Since mx levels have stayed absolutely perfect without supplements for b12 or folate. I know that lack of b12 can make you feel awful-tgey tjought I had a stroke as my memory was shot to pieces... Agree that you should be asking for injections. Supplements don't do anything if that low. Your tarrget range from test centre is quite high with the upper limit of 190+... my testing centre lower limit before injections were allowed by my GP was 167 and my results came in at 166 and 1.2 for folate. The only difference in my actual diet then was: I had 2 processed meals or one takeaway a week and I ate meat. Now every crumb of my food is non processed except milk and cheese. I have no meat at all. No bread, pasta or rice. I did eat rice with my weekly takeaway. I think overall balance of nutrition can lower B12 a lot but more than anything, possibly side effects of medication too.. i am OTT on my vitamins and minerals now and get B12 tested 6 monthly to keep an eye on it as I am utterly convinced my highest 1597 b12 level was due to cancer and I am convinced if it starts to go high again then I would be asking about cancer returning and checks to be made.. My folate also went to 18 and has dropped.... mine have kept in balance with each other. There was a good pernicious anaemia forum at one time 2010?? Its prob still going and may be worth while looking at it? [/QUOTE]
