Methyl or Hydro B12 injections - is it safe to switch between both each month?
Is it safe to switch between different types of B12 injections? For example, one month I take the hydroxocobalamin injection and the next month i take the methylcobalamin injection? I feel better with methylcobalamin , but I’m only prescribed the hydroxocobalamin but I’m thinking to take methylcobalamin

How should Levo dosing work - a 101 explanation needed please
sorry my brain is mush. I have read a lot of posts, tried Dr Google etc. I could do with a really basic explanation to help understand what my Endo is likely to talk about this week re: Levo dosing. what I think I know… Levo replaces what’s missing, T4. This results in lower TSH and higher T3 (assuming

Help please in results interpretation of advanced function thyroid test

Is Vit-D bad for you?
I've read some posts that say VIT-D supplementation is bad for men with PCa. Does anyone have any papers or references that support this position? Thanks, Bob

Coming off of Enbrel and Methotrexate before Operation
Dear All, I would be very grateful for others experiences whilst on a weekly Biologic prefilled and weekly Methotrexate tablets with Folic Acid 5mg 6 days a week. My daughter is 32 years old and having a Laparoscopy Operation to remove bilateral ovarian dermoid cysts on 16 May. When should she come

How long will this last for?
Long story short, I’ve been feeling very tired for months (even years) to the point that I needed to take a nap in the afternoon on some days as my brain wouldn’t allow me keep going. I also started noticing trembling, tingling, pins and needles and headaches/migraines. I reached the point that I was

dry eyes and mouth?
hi again all! I am very depleted in ferritin and am awaiting an infusion. I also started b12 injections 3 months ago for PA but I don’t think they’ve been often enough (1x/month). Also just got diagnosed with subclinical hashimotos (thyroid levels are still normal). I’m grasping at straws trying to

TPO high, GP not helpful, and I’m looking for advice
Hello, Sorry if this is a bit long. I have been struggling with symptoms of hypothyroidism for about 5 - 6 years. I also have a long family history of hypothyroidism and all of my female relatives battled their way to a diagnosis, and I seem to be following suit. Just before covid struck, my then

Bad batch of B12
Hi I'm just adding to the posts about bad batches of B12 - there's been a couple in the last month. I have self-injected since 2020 - originally every other day, increased to every day after having Covid in July 2021. Taking control has felt miraculous as I have been able to return to full-time

Ferritin, B12 and folate results
Hi all I’d be grateful for any advice on the following results and details of the best supplements to take if you think I should boost them? The ferritin seems particularly low (even if it is technically in range). I eat red meat and leafy greens but struggle with things like liver so I guess I’d

GP must have B12 deficiency too.
So here's the thing there must be GPs or medical professionals who are B12 deficient so it begs the question. How do they feel about how they are treated? How often do they have injections? Do they come up against the same issues we do in the general population? It would be amazingly useful for

How to change from T3 only to T4?
I'm currently self medicating on 50mcg Tiromel and have been for a few years. My doctor prescribed me 75 mcg Eutirox 5 x week and 88 on the weekends. It just wasn't working for me, so after a lot of reading I assumed I was just someone with a faulty conversion gene and decided to try alternatives.

how quickly did you regress after B12 loading?
I finished my initial B12 loading almost exactly one month ago and initially felt enormously better. However, during the last week I have started to feel like I did before; irritable, weepy, fatigued, constipated and so on. I really can’t believe I need monthly injections so am thinking I am imagining

Does anyone else experience this? pain of the deltoid and trapezius muscles, possibly due to IM b12 both by PCP (monthly) and SI (EOD)
hi there I’m trying to figure out if the IM b12 injections are starting to cause this pain I feel on both sides of my body … areas as specified above. I also SI in my leg muscle. I have a system to work around the four areas of my body. I have autoimmune PA so I need to figure this out. Maybe I
