Please see my page on Vitamin B12 Levels to see that you actually DO have Vitamin B12 deficiency. Your Vitamin B12 level may be 'normal' in India (and in the US), but in Japan and other parts of the world they recognize that a Vitamin B12 level below 500 is deficient.

Also, those with HIGH Vitamin B12 levels can also be deficient. So, that is why if you have a high MCV level, the number 1 reason is because you have Vitamin B12 deficiency. Period.

And your RBC being on the 'low side' may or may not mean anything. If you are a menstruating woman, that is perfectly normal. If you are an adult male, it might be a little low, but there are various reasons why an RBC can be on the 'low side' and it may or may not be a problem. It depends upon your circumstances.
