Thanks for the response!

Currently I take,

For B12/Folate
--------
--> Injection B12 1000 mcg bi-weekly
--> Oral B12 1000mg 2x daily
--> Oral B100 Complex multivitamin 1x daily
--> Oral sodium folate 1000mg 1x daily

For Ferritin
----------
--> Oral Palafer 1x daily

Testosterone
--------------
--> Androgel 1% 5g 1xdaily

I also take a vitamin D/calcium supplement and a multivitamin. I have been on the normal vitamin schedule for years and the androgel was introduced about 6 months ago when I was diagnosed with low Testosterone and the B12 injections/Palafer were added when my counts dropped late last year.

My Gastro told me my fatigue and other symptoms can't be from the B12/Ferritin/Folate because my levels are now back to normal. I told him that they don't appear ideal, especially for a young male who is on treatment for each. He just said it doesn't matter if B12 is 150 or 800, as long as it is normal. It is frustrating, but no doctor will do anything but treat it. I would like some more answers! Anyways, thanks for the help...I appreciate it.
