Thanks for all this good information. I just called my GP and in July my ferratin was at 80 which is low end normal I think. I pick up a path request tomorrow morning for a B12 and LFT request as my meds are on the way. Keep the good oil coming and thanks again for the links James and the conversation everyone.

Good to hear you're gearing up for treatment now Ariel. Reading your ferritin score, I checked out a blood test I had done by my GP in Nov (my liver clinic don't usually bother to check iron/B12 etc) and my level is 66 - right, confused now as no doc has mentioned it before. Weirdly my B12 is over the maximum stated range (765) which doesn't seem to make a whole lot of sense. One thing I've learned about the past year spent in and out of public hospitals/waiting rooms is that you can get some very contradictory opinions from the medical profession on the same subject lol GT1a since 1988, diagnosed 1990 F0, tx naive VL 262,000 ALT 40 AST 26 GGT 13 Fibroscan 04/12/15 - 2.9 Started Mesochem sof/dac 12 weeks 01/01/2016 11/02/2016 - 6 weeks UNDETECTED AST 26 ALT 26 | |

| Back to the B12 subject, I stopped taking Vit B12 when I started the 3rd med for the last 4 weeks. This was because I have to take Asunprevir twice a day. Last bloods 2 weeks ago showed Neuts were low (not very, but slightly and flagged). Looked it up and it said this can be due to VitB12 being low, which I had suspected before and why I decided to take extra. There were some suspicions I had mal/low absorption, so even though I only have a few days left on the meds, I'd like to know if I can take it for my last few days. There is very little advise re Asunprevir, so if anyone knows or can find the answer, it would be great to get the advise for my last few days on the meds, to try and make sure I'm absorbing meds as well as I can, albeit nearing EOT.

Regarding the high serum levels of B12. I just recently read that because B12 is stored in the liver, if the liver is not healthy, more B12 might be circulating in the blood since the liver cannot effectively store it.

Personally I prefer the shots, I get one at least quarterly. They make me feel better, especially during tx. Not that I felt bad but they seemed to give me a little charge. Maybe like a double shot Starbucks but better. They don't get me wired, they just make me feel better for the first few minutes. I just snatched the blurb below from the clinic I go to. You could probably get one from your MD but mine never would give it up, unless I took a blood test and that dog don't hunt!

| I take a B-100 everyday, has 100 mcg. of B-12. B-Complex is a good vitamin to take, as well as C and D.

Yep, tablets, sublingual or whatever especially on tx but even afterwards. I actually take only B12 shot and D3 gelcap, I also take amino acids but I ran out. Gotta get more, cause they make me feel better. And who wouldn't want to feel better.
