got my lab results
I usually get labs done every six months but this time it was more like eight months.
My B12 is 1286. I'm delighted. Last time it was on the low side. I've been doing shots once a week. I think I'm gonna keep doing that. Or should I maybe cut back a little? Anybody got an opinion on that one?
My vitamin D is 142! Last time it was low. I've been taking 50,000 IU D3 four times a week. I'm gonna cut back on that some. Do you all think I should start doing it three times a week or just twice a week?
Last time my vitamin A was slightly low and now it's in the middle of the normal range. My zinc was at the bottom of the normal range and now it's in the middle.
My protein is 7.0. Without eating meat.
I was thinking my iron was going to be low because I've been really tired lately and I'm bruising easily and I'm dizzy a lot. But nope, it is150. And guess what my ferritin is? 140! Now, that's actually down quite a bit from eight months ago, then it was 222, but still....I'm quite happy with it.
The only bad thing, if you want to call it that, is that my labs don't explain why I've been so tired and dizzy. I was hoping it would be some vitamin deficiency and then it would be easy to fix.
I'm not posting the rest of my results because there's such a long list of them and I'm lazy.

Stores don't usually carry bit doses, though. I buy my 50,000 IU D3 from vitalady.com.
How much you are supposed to take depends on your vitamin D level. You need your vitamin D level at least 80. Have you had your level checked?
