Not sure which blood tests were done, I figured it was just basic ones.

Only pills being taken were Aleve and Tylenol.

Yes, a smoker.

Will eating foods rich in Vit. B12 or vitamin-enriched foods get rid of this? She has had a deficiency in B12 before, and they discovered her body doesn't absorb it like others' bodies do. She ended up taking shots until her Medicaid ran out.
