Fortified foods and blood tests
Is it necessary to avoid foods fortified with B vitamins a week before blood tests. I know supplements containing biotin must be avoided but am not sure if the same applies to fortified foods eg cereals? Thank you

Feeling exhausted.
Hi everyone. I had a complete thyroidectomy in 1990 . It went haywire when I was pregnant and until 2015 I was fit and healthy on 175mg thyroxine daily. Then it became irratic and I’ve struggled since with several changes to my thyroxine. I’ve just had the dose lowered again from 125mg daily, to 100mg

Only temporary respite from IV iron?
Back again - thought I was done with RLS after my iron infusion but seems like the respite was only temporary. Presently having symptoms from dawn until dusk, though some days are worse than others. Iron IV was 6 weeks ago; have just had bloods drawn for an iron panel so will see my neurologist when

Low TSH
hello, I’m wondering if some of you knowledgeable people can give me some advice please. I feel under medicated on 75 mcg of levothyroxine, but the doctor insisted that I needed a blood test, even though they agreed my symptoms sounded like I needed an increase in meds. I’ve called the surgery and surprise

Thyroid or Pituitary Problem?
Sorry in advance for the long essay! Desperatly hoping for some advice. I am a 30-year-old female suffering fatigue, brain fog & migraine with visual disturbances since July 2020, therefore I stopped the COCP after a 10-year use (which was prescribed for the management of menorrhagia). Since stopping

Doctor put my b12 schedule on my records.
this week after a visit to the ED and changed symptoms related to my spine degenerative disease, I saw a different doctor at the practice, as she was going through my history, she asked about my B12 and It’s diagnosis, including the hospital discharge saying I did it EOD. I explained I had been diagnosed

is active b12 a better indicator than free b12
hi all my recent total b12 test came in at 468 (range 179-2000) so just 17% through range. I take sublingual b12 drops daily, a vitamin b complex tablet and I had a b12 shot a few weeks ago and so wasn’t expecting it to drop. I got my active b12 test back today and it says 116 (range 37.5-150) so

Hair loss getting worse - what am I missing?
I have been struggling with hair loss for 3 years. It is now falling at an alarming rate and I fear being forced into wigs or hair replacement surgery. It's been a long journey, so I don't know that I'll remember everything, but I'll try to hit the important points: 1. I have no thyroid 2.

Homemade TTFD/TPD?
From Dr. Lonsdale book: "Allicin, a compound that gives garlic its odor, is formed by enzymatic action during the grinding of fresh bulbs of garlic.

How Vitamin D & the B vitamins can influence your sleep and beyond.
This is a fascinating interview and goes very deep into the link between vitamin D and the B vitamins and their effects on sleep and far beyond. Dr Stasha has done incredible work and I hope you'll enjoy it.Now, the second interview will require open mindedness and once you watched it you'll understand
