Ferritin, folate, B12 - please help me understand my results

[SoIronic]

I’ve felt absolutely awful since I had my first child 5 years ago. I am exhausted, I’m achey, I feel hungover all the time (I’m not!), I get every infection going, I have pins and needles in my feet, I have no energy and I just feel rotten. I’ve had some bloods taken. Most results are ok, but three stand out:

Folate - 2.4
ferritin - 16
B12 - 2133

I have been prescribed folic acid for the folate deficiency. I’m three weeks into that and feel no better. So far no one has mentioned that my ferritin is low. I only noticed it was low after scrutinising the results myself.

I am now waiting for an appointment to discuss why my B12 is so high. And I am waiting for blood tests to rule out celiac disease.

I feel totally clueless about all this…. Could these results be the reason I feel so rotten? Why don’t the doctors care about the ferritin? And what do I need to ask at my next appointment?

@Iheartmysmart thanks for the info, I'll check which one I've had previously see if it was that one or not.

Hello I know this was a long time ago but did you ever find out? I have the same readings :(

I do too and have started on folic acid and am buying iron myself as hair loss. High B12 but I don't know why?
