Does the pill have the same effect as the injection?
I saw your information in PERNICIOUS
ANAEMIA
SOCIETY and contacted you. We do not have doctors in Argentina who know about the subject. Does the pill have the same effect as the injection? We do not know what to do anymore.

Vit B12 sublingual
I've just changed to the igennus b12 sublingual as I get on very well with their super-b complex. reading the label I notice it contains methylcobalamin, adenosylcobalamin and hydroxocobalamin, the previous b12 supp I used didn't have hydroxocobalamin - what is it?

low serum iron. Normal ferritin
been getting very tired lately. ET (MPL) on pegysus 45ug every 2 weeks. Mentioned fatigue to haematologist and he suggested reducing peg further to 3 weekly. Got the above results after we got home. Also raised CRP but I do have a cold . raised neutrophils and wbc. Haem thought this was good as mounting

Do I need to increase folic acid/folate intake with B12 shots?
Hello all, I am within one week of taking daily b12 injections as a loading dose. A group on Facebook advise a protocol of taking 5mg of folic acid daily as it is a cofactor for b12. I get that part but I’m checking whether it’s necessary to take such a high amount of folic acid if, prior to starting

Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
Maternal grandmother had pernicious
anaemia
and I suspect my mother did too. I welcome any advice on how to proceed, bearing in mind GP is not on board with my (self)diagnosis so I won't get any help there and I'm too tired to argue. 😴 Many thanks in advance. 😊

Folate timing
Good morning, I’m taking folate as we’re trying for a baby and I’ve read this is better than folic acid. My question is do I need to take it at a different time to levothyroxine? I take it 30 mins to an hour after, but I’m not sure if it’s like iron and should be several hours apart. Many thanks for

Incidentally, I have low WBC but they are not sure if this is due to a bad infection a couple of months ago.I have been prescribed folate supplements but I didn't

I am not sure yet if I have pernicious
anaemia
, or whether it is a gut dysbiosis problem as I do not appear to be absorbing nutrients well, including B12, iron, folate, and possibly others. And I also have low diamine oxidase which is used to control histamine.

methylcobalamin
Can anyone tell me if it's possible to get a private prescription for methylcobalamin, given it's not available on the NHS? I am allergic to hydroxocobalamin, so have injectible cyanocobalamin 3-weekly, but it's not available at present and unlikely to be for at least a few months. It's almost 7 weeks

Anyone know anything about ferritin and trans ferritin saturation levels?
Haemoglobin: below 120 g/L for females and below 130 g/L for males indicates
anaemia
Ferritin: below 15 ug/L suggests iron deficiency Transferrin Saturation: below 16% suggests iron deficiency Folate: 3 ug/L or below suggests folate deficiency Active vitamin B12: below 38 pmol/L suggests vitamin

Iron test results - 6 weeks pregnant
Hello again My last iron test results suggested I was oversupplementing, so I reduced it to 1 Thorne Iron, alternate days. I have since found out I'm pregnant, but not sure that it makes any difference to what I'm doing...guess it will just need monitoring as we go, as iron is one of the things that
