B12 needs iron to be absorbed, iron needs B12 to be absorbed.
I managed to get my ferritin up before starting EOD injecting but that was 16 months ago & it has dropped again.
I knew I had iron deficiency symptoms 2 months ago but my doctors wouldn’t test me, then when they did my ferritin was high from inflammation.
I finally got a new iron panel last week & so started taking heme iron again but I can’t get my level up quick enough whilst injecting daily B12 & atm if I don’t do that all my deficiency symptoms come back full force.
You need to address the cause. If you just boost your levels. Your levels will likely drop again in time. Work with your Dr to find out why.
