Feel like giving up
Hi all, would really appreciate some input/advice. I have so many ongoing, chronic, worsening symptoms that are really having a significant impact on my ability to lead a somewhat 'normal' life - chronic reflux and stomach issues, lower digestive issues, gynae issues/fibroid, joint stiffness and mild

B1 testing
Hi I was wondering if anyone knows of any UK site that provides provide private blood testing for the B vitamins - B1 in particular? I have looked, but only seem to find ones that test for B12 and B9 only. If not, what do you do if you suspect a B1 deficiency, but the GP is reluctant to run tests

Theories on Stress and B12
Hi all I've seen a few questions on the forum around the relationship between stress and B12. I think this is a very interesting area. On the one hand, B-Vitamins are well-known to support the body during times of stress. In many ways this makes sense because our bodies run on essential vitamins and

Latest thyroid bloods & iron panel…
I’ve just got my latest bloods back and this confirms I need to reduce my Levothyroxine. It’s a similar result to last time and shows my T4 to be too high. I was on 150mcg T4 only: TSH: 0.005 Free thyroxine: 33.5 (12-22) Free T3: 5.88 (3.1-6.8] Previous bloods from mid July tell the same story…

Vitamin B12 Protective Against Parkinson's Disease?
A high baseline intake of vitamin B12 is linked to lower risk of developing Parkinson's disease (PD), new research suggests. "The results leave the door open for the possibility that vitamin B12 may have a beneficial effect in protecting against PD," lead author Mario H. Flores, PhD, a research fellow

Magnesium question
Hi all I've been taking the BetterYou D3000+k2 spray since 9th September. I've stopped taking a multivitamin and intend to replace the iron, B vitamins etc on an individual basis over the next months. Originally I wasn't going to replace magnesium as a matter of course but my latest magnesium blood

Testing my thyroid after stopping levothyroxine
Hi I was put on levothyroxine back in March when my test results were considered borderline. I had to have surgery in April to remove a cyst on my pituitary gland which thankfully seems to have been successful (though I have what is considered to be mild diabetes insipidus which preceded the surgery

Normal total T, lowish free T
Went to get some hormones blood work done. Here are the result readings: Total Testosterone: 654 ng/dl (264-892) Free Testosterone: 11.6 pg/mL (9.3-26.5) Estradiol: 21.7 pg/mL (11-43) I really don’t know what to make out of those results as I don’t have any problems associated with sex drive or

Call for a more complete vitamins blood testing, especially b6.
I would have preferred to write about my coping with PD at a later stage, but in view of recent events I would like to warn you about the possible consequences of incomplete examination. After being diagnosed 1.5 years ago at 65, I found the development of the disease to be (too) fast. There is still

any higher strength iron glycinate supplements?
Hi, thanks in advance. My teenager is taking iron glycinate 27mg iron per tablet. I sourced this after the fumarate prescribed by GP seemed to be giving stomach pain. Current dose of 1 per day is maybe not sufficient to increase her ferritin. It was around 15 for several years (till I read up about

Taking B12 injections daily.
Hi Guys and Girls, This site has been a tremendous help and blessing for me and my GP, who knew little about PA. I am injecting 1ml of methylcobalamin EOD, I have been injecting since Nov. 2021, in the early days, I really didn’t know what I was doing and my GP knew less, I was injecting once a month

Endo Prescription - advice please
Hi all, I visited an endocrinologist for the first time yesterday with my Dad (72 yrs). I'd really appreciate any feedback from this forum on the prescription he has been given. We went to see an endo privately because we were at a bit of a loss with GP test results which were always just showing

Newbie looking for advice on recent test result
I was diagnosed with an underactive thyroid in april 2022. What a rollercoaster! Do I have an autoimmune thyroid disorder? My first test was looking at reason for a change in bowel movements and fatigue. Doctor responded directly to the TSH level and placed me on 25mg levothyroxine. Serum

John F. Kennedy - Autoimmune Diseases
Just finished a Kindle book about John F. Kennedy - really interesting. I’m amazed how stoic he managed to be as, apart from his known back pain, it seems to confirm Dr J Chandy’s paragraph on JFK in his book, “Vitamin B12 Deficiency in Clinical Practice”; also that autoimmune diseases often run in

Hi, The general advice to eat “healthy” for good cardiovascular function sounds sensible. eg less saturated fat and salt; more green vegetables; kale; spinach; berries eg blueberry; alcohol in moderation - especially red wines with resveratrol (antioxidant) eg Malbec etc. (In fact, alcohol in moderation

Medichecks Result and a warning about testing & HRT
Apologies for the long post (my first) and thank you if you manage to get to the end of it. Bit of history first (there's more in my bio), after 7 years of being bedbound with a diagnosis of fibromyalgia, I was finally prescribed combination T3/T4 in 2018. I hadn't had my bloods checked since 2019
