[lyndieloo1980]

Hi There

I was wonderin if anyone on here has a Vit B12 deficiency??

If so, could you explain your symptoms?

Thanks

Isn't that anemia?
Common anemia complaints are shortness of breath, tiredness, easy bruising and pale skin, I'm sure somebody on here will have personal experience with it.

That's anemia yes. I have b9 deficiency which is low folic acid not sure if its similar?

[MidnightCalm]

Hmmm, not sure, do you take any supplements/vitamins for it?

[sammi]

I take folic acid perscribed by docs. Its lack of green veg. X

[MidnightCalm]

Ahh, good old greens.

[sammi]

Apparantly your body can't make its own folic acid so it relys on you to make it up by eatin properly especially green veg! So the gp told me x

thanks for you replies

just feelin a little under the weather lately, i do suffer from mild anxiety but over past 2/3 weeks felt legs weak, heart racing on and off, sore tongue like its burnt at the top, body tired and fatigued, bit spaced out and now my bottom lip has felt numb since last wednesday too which is bothering me.

just looked on internet earlier and was concerned about anemia and vitamin b12 deficiency.

shouldn't really google symptoms.....

Hi,

I'm currently on medication for iron deficiency anaemia.

I was feeling short of breath and tired a lot so I had a blood test, turned out I was anaemic.

I am low on b12. Supposedly the intrinsic factor in my stomach is not functioning to break it down for absorbability, but my liver is fine to absorb and hold it through the bloodstream avenue.
All that said I am on a nasal spray b12, and also bringing up other deficiencies with a dr.
I am on the low end of the range, but I am not anemic.
