Just recieved my 3 year labs and i am very concerned that my WBCs are 2.87 ( norm 4.5-11) What's going on???? My iron saturation is low at 14( norm 20-50) b12 low at 152 ( norm 243-894) total hydroxyD low at 24 normal 25-80hemoglobin slightly low at 11.8( norm 12-16) I'm really worried about the WBCs, B12, vitD anyone had labs near this? What did the docs do? Help Please!!!!
Peace and Blessings, Melinda

Melinda, what vitamins are you currently taking?  What is your ferritin level?  Your B-12 is seriously low, low enough to cause permanent neurological damage.  You need to start taking injections immediately. I know Vitalady has been traveling, you might try sending her an email with all your labs and she can offer suggestions.  I'd say B-12, iron and dry vitamin D should be on your list of daily vitamins. Good luck!

The WBC, hemoglobin, and iron saturation will all be helped with iron. Her Tender Iron rocks!!! She also carries B12 and Vitamin D.

Looks like B-12 deficiency anemia. Doc will probably put you on B-12 shots...and hopefully try to raise your levels of D and iron at the same time.  Tender Iron (carbonyl) iron is awesome...but you have to get that B-12 into a safe zone and the shots are the only way to get  B-12 the fastest way.... Try not to worry...everything should pull back up into place once the B-12 is on the rise....Glad you found this out NOW!  Good luck and I hope you have speedy results!  Feel better!
