In a development that may lead to new GA 101 drugs to treat cancer, scientists at the University of Kent have discovered the process by which a key vitamin (B12) is made in cells and the team’s research paper an enzyme-trap approach
Thank you Daz, very interesting. I have been taking vit B12 since Wednesday. I also have ordered some N-Acetyl-cysteine from local health food shop. As we are in the sticks it may take a while. I am all for trying to help myself ESP when docs are v slow or seeming to be unhelpful. Keep the studies coming. It will help our understanding. Alison
N-acetyl-cysteine is supposed to help to do something to minimise scarring. I have lots of scarring so i have decided to give it a go. Not much point talking to doc yet as there is still no diagnosis. They just want to monitor. I have an eight year old little granddaughter who I am responsible for. Waiting is not really an option; I have to try and work it out. Seeing consultant again 10 or 11 May so i will probably discuss it with him then, depending in what he says first. I have so much to ask him but mostly I want a referral to Royal Brompton so i can at least find out what is making me feel so rough all the time and absolutely rotten some of the time. Hopefully, they will have come across other people with the same condition. They may even have ideas about how to treat me - nt just wait and see. By the way I think B12 makes sense as it is good for blood production and at the beginning of this illness I was extremely anaemic. Doc did nit investigate why!!! Why do you take B12 every other day? Does it have side effects? Hope you sleep well. Alison
WOW! I haven't had a rush of anything for a loooooong time. I'll probably take one a day for a week or two and see how it goes. I too have PH so concerned about trying to reign back the scarring. It is great to have people to bounce ideas off. Thank you for all your help. Good luck Alison
Hi Yes Lol ... Is Great Being Able To Bounce Ideas Off Each Other And Group Members
I To Am Looking To Reign Back It To ... With A Bit Of Luck Proffers Will Get Is Finger Out
But Yes Defo Look Into That Scarring Drug .... Cheers All The Best
Good info Daz, always found B12 useful especially during the winter months in my youth to help ward off the winter blues and enliven the body.
I was advised at that time to take a good vitamin B complex at the same time as the B12 to help absorb it.

When I was at the dr on thursday she gave me a B12 shot. I'm to have 1 a week for 4 weeks. I'm hoping at the end of the month I'll have a bit more energy.
Hi Psorias I Only Take B12 Every Other Day ... B Complex I Don't Take As A Think B12 Is In It But Of Lesser Value ?Than B12 On Its Own
Me Personally A Would Take One Or Other But I Would Inform My Doctor In Any Case .... Can't Really Say Much On B Complex As It Was Only B12 A Was Interested
Hi psorias, don't know f you can overdose but dazisnotsogood had some sort of rush - sounded quite exciting but then I lead a very quiet life these days! You could always take 1 every other day as Daz does and see how it goes. I too take a cocktail of pills - vit C, D, cod liver oil, magnesium plus the doc's cocktail of omeprazole, mometasone, cetirizine, Asacol, thyroxine, Ventolin and Seretide. Think that's all at the moment! B12 and B complex. Think I can manage that. Soon I won't need food. If that is the only way I can function - so be it! Good luck. Let us know how you get on. Alison
