Hello @zombieware, on recent blood tests, your Vitamin B-12 and folate results were out of the normal ranges set by the parameters of the tests. It’s understandable that you’re concerned that these numbers are flagged with an H or L. By themselves they don’t always give the entire picture of your health but together they may be an indication of a type of anemia. Your other red blood numbers such as hematocrit and hemoglobin would give your doctor valuable information as well.
I’m posting a few links for informational articles for you to read that might be helpful.

Do you have any symptoms such as fatigue, that prompted the blood work?

I recently commented on how I’ve always been tired (long before my cancer) I discovered I had an anemia called Thallasemia among Mediterranean cultures I being Italian researched this and was found to have trait. I can’t absorb Fe( Iron) it just build up in my system which can be toxic so I avoid iron pills or injections Eating foods rich in Fe are safe and help somewhat, my body must adjusts it’s my norm. Just an fyi that many may not know about. 👍
