Sorry, another question, but I'm new to this site and have struggled for so long without being able to talk to anyone who understands what its like and can relate to what I'm going through. My Naturopath says I have copper dysregulation, that is too much Copper to the wrong places, like liver, brain etc., but not enough copper getting to my tissues where I need it. I have spinal degeneration and am not sure how much of it is the B12 deficiency and what is the copper deficiency. Has anyone else got these problems. I would be very interested to know if so.
Has anyone got copper imbalance or de... - Pernicious Anaemi...
Has anyone got copper imbalance or deficiency along with B12 deficiency?
I frequent the Thyroid Forum here on HU - many of us need both. There I have read that when Hypo copper levels can be raised.
Have you had your thyroid correctly tested ?
Hi Marz, I have read quite a few of your posts and really liked them. I was actually thinking about dropping you a line and asking you some questions, because you seem really knowledgeable I have Hashimotos, just recently, about a year ago. I have TPO antibodies of 259. In the last year I have just had a big pile of auto-immune disease show their ugly heads. I have been so ill with B12 deficiency and copper dysregulation that I honestly have not had enough time to research the Hashimotos properly. I do read papers and articles on the subject, but am a bit confused, a lot of its conflicting by what it all means. My G.P. has not got a clue and the endo refused to see me because he said my results are fine, but I feel really bad. I was the picture of health couple of years ago, but I had H Pylori after Hysterectomy and the Gastroenterologist was supposed to give me antibiotics and they didn't send the letter to G.P. to tell me I had HP, so I never got any treatment. Then I ended up on omeprazole for a couple of years to help the pain and burning in my stomach which only reduced my stomach acid more and as a result I have really bad absorption and gut issues. Hence, I think this is why I'm sick now. Stomach not working properly, and lots of auto-immune genes triggered. I also have sub-acute degeneration of the spine and demyelination, and white matter and lesions in my deep brain, happy days. To be honest, I thought I was dying at one point, I thought it was motor-neurons disease.
