May be getting the answer at last Kriminal. Pathologist rang and said lack of B12, too much iron, and wrong red blood cell count all point to a very rare type of serious aneamia, where all the iron gets stored in your liver and prevents blood cells receiving it plus blocks B12 absorbtion. Am awaiting more tests. Annoying thing is GP picked up the B12 problem a year ago, started me on injections and then stopped them. A local hospital also picked up the abnormal blood cells a few months ago and nothing was followed up. Could be a genetic condition. Fingers crossed. Love Tracy
