I have a low transcobalamin test(Vitamin B12 Binding Capacity, Unsaturated (Transcobalamin)( RESULT NAME RESULT VALUE UNITS REF. RANGE LO - Vitamin B12 Binding 638 pg/mL 650-1340 L Cap Abnormal Flag: L Reference Range: 650-1340) they prescribed sublingual B12 (taking 1000-5000 per day prn depending on numbness).
I asked about my ferritin levels and they were high at 204. I am extremely tired and have ringing in my ears. I have MS, SCAD, and Afib and I take metoprolol tartrate 50mg twice daily and Eliquis 5mg twice daily along with other supplements calcium/mag, and probiotics. I am tired of feeling BAD!! And I don't know where to turn next!!

Hello. I am curious if you were able to find a doctor to help you evaluate your low transcobalamin? I privately ordered the test and mine is also low. From reading the book Could It Be B12? And medical journals I've read, it appears if a person has neurological symptoms that they may need to have b12 injections every day or every other day.

@towanda7, sometimes it can help to connect with others who are also managing multiple chronic and/or complex conditions like you are: heart conditions like SCAD and a-fib, neurological issues with MS and now possibly hematologic issues.
Your message, however, sounds like you would like to seek a mutlidisciplinary medical professional assessment. Have you considered a second opinion at a large medical center like Mayo Clinic?
