My reading was 4 when I first got blood teasts.My doctor said she'd never seen one so low! It crept up very slowly. Even now Im in the lowest part of the "normal" range. Its a combination of being Veggie and having really bad periods every month (sorry guys reading this!) They offered me a hysteractomy, but I didnt wanna go down that road. Are you tired a lot? I still get tired, but not as bad as I was. And my hair was falling out to!Thats why I first went to the doctors. Was so scared. Thats when they discovered the anaemia. My hair is back to normal now though. How long you been on the jabs hun? Are you on the iron tabs too?
I've only been on them a week (every other day) and while they seemed to help at first, they aren't now. On the iron tabs as well.
Poor you! Your case sounds terrible - I know the tired and drained feeling very well, but my hair has all stayed in my scalp.
You should take the time off work.B12 deficiency is probably causing your neurological problems.
Are you having the injections..and are they not working??
If you've B12 deficieny because of your diet it's a straightforward replacement injection,but if PA's the problem,you need much larger doses as the problem with PA is a lack of something called intrinsic factor which helps absorb B12.
Its understandable you fell low and weepy if you're anaemic
). If not, ask for a second opinion hun and ask them to check your adrenals. 
) You will get over this quicker if you allow your body to rest and heal so tell him to sod off. You come first, remember that.
