Anyone, anyone??

Hey all,
I have never posted on a board like this, but like others I'm at my wits end! For about 4 years now I have felt awful. Tired all the time, extremely foggy head, blurry vision, etc. etc. I have had numerous blood tests to test for things like anemia and my thyroid but of course everything has come back "normal". Like others, they always suggest to get on an antidepressant. I get plenty of sleep, 8-10 hours a night, but I'm still tired! I picked up copies of my latest blood work, which was a while back, but noticed a couple of things that were high. My folate serum level and my MCH. My B12 level was high though at 880. After doing some research online I read that both could possibly be a indication of a B12 deficiency, and a high folate level could mask a B12 deficiency. I was just wondering if anyone had any thoughts or advice! I'm just ready to feel good again and searching for answers! Thanks!

Folate Serum- 23.5
MCH- 33.7
B12- 880

Re: Anyone, anyone??

Greetings underrdog! Some sunshine might help with depression. Tireness and fogginess are sometimes caused by Candida Albicans after taking an antibiotic. A naturopathic health professional might test for this. An opthamologist might be seen for the blurry vision if desired. General health measures might improve health.
These might be proper nutrition, walking, water, fresh air in the home as well as outside, and avoidance of things that bother health such as alcohol, chemical additives in food, drugs, tobacco, vinegar, cheese, meat, plastics, food packaging to the extent possible etc. Of course everyone makes their own health care decisions in life. Peace, sjb
