Confusing iron panel results
Hi, guys, I'd like to ask for help interpreting my iron panel results. First of all, let me say that this is the first time ever that I have had these tests done, so I don't have anything to compare with. This is what the results look like: Hemoglobin: 155 g/l (reference range: 120 - 160 g/l) Serum

1 or 2 time a day vit b12 1000 microgram???
Hello dear friends I read here some post that someone is injecting one or two time a day of vitamin b12 ampules (1000 microgram or 1 mg). Is it safe to inject such a massive b12 one or two time a day for life??? I thought that the protocol for b12 deficiency treatment is loading doses of 6 ampules during

Hello friends 😊 Following my last tests (a bit over 2 months ago), I added vitamin b12 drops 3 days a week, have cut down my B complex to 1 capsule, and I taking a separate Folate supplement as this was getting quite high, and it was pointed out to me that it is a "Goldilocks vitamin" when trying to

Suppression of TSH but low T4/T3 levels whilst taking Levo/Lio Combo
A few years ago, my thyroid results were looking a lot better but NHS GP over the last 2 years has told me to reduce my dosage twice (because of the 'risks' of overtreatment). I'm now on 100mcg levothyroxine (75mcg supplied by GP and topped up by myself) and 25mcg liothyronine (self-sourced). I now don't

Eustachian tube dysfunction is it possible this is connected to b12 deficiency?
My partner has has b12 deficiency symptoms for years, only recently diagnosed. He gets a fullness in his ears, he cant pop them even with all methods ENT teach you. I was just wondering if anyone else had had these problems. Initially we thought his off balance feeling when walking was caused by this

UK Mental Health charities and B12 deficiency
Hi All, I mentioned on a thread recently that I felt it would be great if some of the mental health charities in UK published articles on B12 deficiency. Maybe people who have the time and energy could contact one of the charities and ask them to put something about B12 deficiency on their website.

Symptoms of Vitamin B12 deficiency - that I cannot find an answer to....
I had a low Vitamin B12 (125 mg/L) and low folate. One of my symptoms was severe pins and needles - particularly my legs, feet and genital areas. Is it common to have more severe symptoms in one leg more than the other? I have quite severe pins and needs in my left leg, and milder pins and needles

Vitamin b12/Folate deficiency
Hi all, Firstly can I say how helpful I’ve found this forum with the issues I’ve had with my health recently. I’ve recently been diagnosed by my GP with b12 and folate deficiency. I had a blood test (in the UK) and was told my level was 125 (not sure what unit of measure). It was suggested I had a

Vitamin C and B12
Despite weekly injections of b12 my blood results show that I am only mid range and I am still symptomatic. I take codeine for arthritic pain and with this I take about 4000 mg of vitamin C to alleviate constipation. Is the vit C helping rid my body of B12 and if so can I just increase my injections

JFK - Kennedy and B12
Given the current coverage of the anniversary of the death of President Kennedy, it seems not unreasonable to post about his health issues - specifically the possibility of Pernicious Anaemia. This is a paragraph from near the end of the article. Not intended as anything other than an interesting footnote

High b12 readings
Hi, Just a quick question I was wondering about. My b12 stays consistently on the number 1460! I hear of some people with 5000! Does the number indicate anything helpful with gauging how much b12 your body may be needing etc ? It does not seem to move from whatever amount of b12 I am having. Thanks

Iron panel interpretation please
This is a friend’s recent iron panel I’ve looked on rT3 adrenals where it says a low transferrin level indicates a lack of capacity for supplemental iron. I really don’t understand this when it’s clear her whole panel is low, including ferritin. My grasp of iron is poor so anyone who
does
have
