Derealisation / dissociation disorder
Hi guys, So my journey started May 2016 I lost my mother aged 28. After months of excruciating grief I got a terrible virus (labrynthitis) in December last year which by January hadn't gone. In January 2017 I got a dissociation disorder. This presented itself as derealisation. It's hard to explain

Thyroxine and ageing
Does our

bodies not metabolise it so

?? I posted a few weeks back regarding the possibility of the switch to Teva from Almas could have upset me and still haven’t ruled this out.

Ibrutinib doing its job well
It's been a couple of months since I last posted and all is going well. WBC is coming down nicely and platelets, haemoglobin etc all in the healthy range. Joint pain is less often and I know that it will pass within a couple of days. Picking up on my exercise walking a local reservoir at pace (7.5k

Too much Methylcobalamine?
I took methylcobalamine 5000 mcg sublingual for about 10 months. Just had my blood tested and found the B-12 level was > 1999 and the normal range is 211-946. Doc said to stop taking methylcobalamine immediately. Stopped 3 weeks ago . I have tingling on both feet. Should I gradually withdraw rather

GP didn't order intrinsic factor test!
Hello, I went to my GP practice and got print-outs of all my blood test results, but discovered I never even had the IF test! Instead she did the gastric parietal cell antibody test (negative) as well as a number of others (all negative): Anti Mitochondrial Antibody Anti Smooth Muscle Antibody Liver

GCA and Tocilizumab
I have just heard that I have funding and approval from the NHS to take Tocilizumab and will be having my first infusion this week or the week after. Then I have weekly injections after. I wondered if anyone knew if there are any immediate effects. Also do you go on taking other medications. I am on

IF Antibody test back - so what next
Following up on my previous posts (low B12, started on B12 loading shots - had second today so too early to tell results on symptoms) Finally got my IF antibody test back today Results: 2.9 U/mL (Normal: < 6 U/mL) I'm aware of the inherent reliability of the test (40-60%) so realise that it doesn't
