Worried about B12 Defficiency?

Question

I had a bad experience with yasmin birth control and a few others that have had the same experience have had B12 defficiency. Im worried I have it too. The doctor gave me blood tests and said they were fine but im wondering if that's all the testing i need? I get tingling hands and feet when im on my period only. I dont know if that makes a difference.

Answer 1

A blood test would be the way to test for a deficiency, if yor B12 came back normal, I would not be worried about that deficeincy.  Go seek a second opinion about the tingling with a different doctor, but it is unlikely to be related to a B12 deficiency.
