Pernicious anaemia?

Question

Pernicious anaemia?

Asked for Female, 34 Years

I have symptoms of B12 deficiency. Fatigue, tingling, wrinkled fingertips although fully hydrated, general feeling of unwell, brain fog. My sister is diagnosed with pernicious anaemia, and my grandmother. I'm 34. I got tested. B12: 306 pg ml. RBT and Hct low. MCH and MCHC high. All other bloods normal. My doctor says she is ruling out PA. I've been using a tongue spray of B12. I eat B12 rich foods. I'm concerned that because I'm not testing as dangerously low that it is being overlooked.
