Macrocytes?

After rereading my blood work there was a note at the bottom, Hematology comments; 2+ Macrocytes. I understand it has to do with the RBC, anemia, and the thyroid. From what I’ve read on it so far it has to do with a b-12 deficiency. Has anyone experienced this while on treatment?

I had b-12 shots at dr's office. I was hoping for a boost of energy, not 'cause of lab results. Doc was gonna give me a script to do the shots at home 2x a week (or maybe it was twice a mo???)...but I declined...I'm doin' enough injecting!

I wouldn't stop txing 'cause of a dificiency in b-12....you may even be able to do supplements rather than the shot?

Well, geterdone has been sittin at this here table for some time and it seems that the scales of medicine just might be starting to go against getters best interest and instincts as of late and it just might be time to revaluate the sitchation as to what to do next. There are no guarantees in life, so you got to play em as you see em.

You got to know when to hold em, know when to fold em,
Know when to walk away and know when to run.
You never count your UND’s when youre sittin at the table.
Therell be time enough for countin when the dealins done.
