    The chance of obtaining Active B12 in the NHS is not high by all accounts...

    Very true! But for some people private blood tests are affordable, especially when they offer discounts on various bundles :)Perhaps not very MSE but for a particular issue for me they were worth the peace of mind.

    Google it or at least ask your doctor

    I have pernicious anaemia, and need regular B12 jabs for this reason. It was initially left untreated for years, n has resulted in neuropathy in my legs :mad:
