T3 Trial continued
Medichecks 20 March 2024 History:
Hypothyroid (after RAI in c2004)
Spent 2023 improving folate, B12, Vit D although ferritin still poor. Came off PPIs and now take Gaviscon twice daily. Gastritis issues ongoing though. Officially a poor converter (dud DIO2) so really wanted to try T3 Gluten

Is this classed as low folate?
I'm a little confused about my blood test results. I'm not sure if I am posting in the right group! MCH and MCHC were slightly high which can indicate macrolytic anaemia. GP said I don't have that because my B12 and folate levels are fine (which are the usual causes). However, I posted the results

Thyroid levels advice for friend with newly dx Hashi and P.A please?
Hi, a friend has been supporting me in getting a Pernicious Anaemia diagnosis, as she also has it. She also has a recent Hashimoto's dx (like me, plus I'm hypothyroid too) but I've been trying to help her with it as it's all very new and overwhelming and she's been really ill with P.A for a long time

B12 sub lingual brand and dosage for my daughter
Hello, My daughter is due to get her IFAB result next week and should start injections then too. In the meantime I would like to try out high dose sub-lingual B12 - would 5000mcg once a day be worth trying? Or more? Or less? We don't know what she can absorb and we were talking aobut her diet today

I was virtually housebound and incapable of any physical activity, with lots of neurological problems, muscle wasting, anemia etc. These were so pronounced that I received a preliminary (incorrect) diagnosis of motor

Just need some advice on self injecting.
Just need to come up with a safe plan for what to do about my B12 injections. After several years of symptoms like chronic fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, pins and needles, sore lips, dry skin, breathlessness etc I was finally diagnosed with a B12 deficiency in 2011. My B12 level was 154. By this

Chronic PA
I was diagnosed with chronic PA in January 2018. Had to go on disability because I have short term memory loss. I was taking a nasal spray which really helped but unfortunately My doctor moved an hour away and my new doctor was in total denial about PA and he stopped seeing patients about a year ago

Giving regular Thiamine HCl / B1 another go, stopping Sublingual B1.
Hi Friends! Just thought I'd bounce this off you. I used to take Thiamine HCl B1 as directed by the master, Dr Costantini via email. I was on a daily dose of 4000mg, divided into 2 even doses. I felt amazing, and had hardly any progression of the disease for years. The only problem was my blood
