What Are The Signs And Symptoms Of Vitamin B12 Deficiency?
Question: Hi Doctor,
I am not sure what happened. I think you were not receiving my answers.
My previous answer : I'm sorry I'm not able to find that because it was from an old medical provider and I can't access my records anymore there remember it was normal then just don't remember the value.
I guess I should go to a Neurologist and also get my vitamin B12 and folate checked out?

Hi
Yes, I had answered that too. The system might be having issues.
I did get thyroid test when I did the b12 test amount other tests because at the time, a year ago, my doc was trying to figure out why my fingers were locking up at night. It turned out to be vitamin d3 deficiency. So at that time, she didn't say anything was wrong with the thyroid so I assumed everything was ok.
Not a vegetarian love meat and eat healthy.
