Lab Results: Poop

Well, my lab results all came back "normal" although I didn't think to actually get the number... I did verify that they DIDN'T do B1 or B6, just B12... They do want me to come back in a couple of weeks, once I'm off the Keflex, for a follow-up... I've been double dosing my Bs since my last appt and while my foot still seems a little numb, I think it may have helped... If I had titanium ovaries, I probably would have put up a bigger stink but to be honest, I'm just not up to it, so I guess I'll see how the next couple of weeks ago and talk to him about the B1/B6 thing when I go in on the 7th...

Plate up those ovaries and call back and get me your B12 number, will ya? It is is less than 800... up your B12. Lab ranges run from something like 200-something to 1000 or so for "normal".... well neurologist damage can happen in the lower end of the range. Internationally the accepted bottom acceptable number is about 800, I believe. We need to go worldly and use THAT number. Yes, it is POOP. Kathy

I have upped my Bs - taking 2 doses of B12 daily and 2 doses of the complex in my morning protein shake - been doing that since the numb-hand thingy... no additional problems. Drop foot doesn't seem like it's occurring and just a little numbness on the top of my left foot... I know I should call back, but I feel like I've been harassing them lately with all my visits, calls, etc... If I'm out and about later, I thought maybe I'd stop by and ask for a copy of the results for my records.

But I wanna play doctor on the internet! :thumbs: on the vitamins. Glad you are seeing improvements!!!

Oh and so you know... my doctor had checked B12 and B6 but not B1 - I had asked about B1 but she didn't do it. This was when I had my neurological issues (dragging foot and neuropathy). I upped my B complex on my own despite the results and the symptoms did improve over the span of a couple of weeks so obviously one of those Bs was the issue. Good girl! Take care of yourself. Kathy
