crixus Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I was a reserve Firefighter/EMT for many years, but we never studied vitamin levels. Sorry I can't help ya' bro. Hopefully there's a Paramedic or Doctor on the board. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soupslam1 Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 You likely can find some info on the net under elevated Vitamin B-12 levels? Any other unusual symptoms? I would recommend you see a doctor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I read a few articles that said something like it can get stored in your blood and not reach its designated target. Good reason to see your doc and get a professional diagnosis. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have an appointment on Friday with my doctor. Thank the person you know for the info. Confirms that I need to talk to them about my liver and kidneys. 1 Quote thelawlorfaithful, on 31 Dec 2012 - 04:01 AM, said:One of the rules I live by: never underestimate a man in a dandy looking sweater Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stealthlobo Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 I'm a pharmacist. Cyanocobalamin (B12) is a regularly supplemented vitamin. Don't know the normal levels off the top of my head, but I can do some literature search today on my downtime if you have specific questions, or experiencing certain symptoms you're worried about.

My understanding of it based on the explanation given to me is the liver metabolizes the B12, and the kidneys excrete it. #FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stealthlobo Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 After a quick literature search this am, i agree it's best to see your physician to get a better picture. There are too many situations where elevated B12 occured so more info in definitely needed. Any other questions you have today, I can do my best to answer. Also I know Jack Bauer and a Nevada poster (nevadapackfan maybe?) on this board are both medical providers so they may have better information.
