Guest guest Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Thanks Margery. I will look into those other test. I'm not limiting to b12 def. only. I have thought maybe too much t3 so I cut back on that. It has only been a few days now so not sre if it is helping. Also thought it could be adrenals but they are supported now. Any other thoughts I would appreciate hearing. Thanks again, S To: RT3_T3 Sent: Tue, June 15, 2010 7:43:20 AMSubject: Re: b12 pooling b12 does not exactly "pool"; any excess is excreted in urine.

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 My serum b12 was 550, a little on the low side, but my serum methylmalonic acid was high, confirming my b12 deficiency and my homocysteine level was normal. I didn't feel improvement until I took the injections, I still take them once a week. D----- Re: b12 pooling b12 does not exactly "pool"; any excess is excreted in urine.
