Is Vitamin B12 Value Of 99 A Cause For Concern?
I have just been diagnosed with pernicious Anaemia and I had a B12 Vitamin reading of 99 in my blood test. I have struggled with this for years and at the same time I have struggled to lose weight. I m a 39 year old female. Now I have started the B12 injections should this help me with my weight too.

Hello, how are you?
& welcome to HCM
According to provided history
You diagnosed with pernicious anemia and your B12 level is surely on lower side which is a matter of concern. Already you started with injections of B12 hence it will correct your B12 level.
Secondly you struggled to lose your weight. If your weight is on higher side then start exercising regularly most common cause of excessive weight is over-eating and not burning your calories.
There is no relationship between B12 and weight gain.
Hopefully I have cleared your query
