Blood pressure medication
My doctor has changed my BP medication from Amlodipine to Candesartan because it caused serious problems with my gums. The problem is one of the possible side effects with Candesartan is dizziness which I have a phobia of. She has only put me on a low dose 4mg but I am afraid to take them. Has anyone

Continued Journey
I’m at day +72 from my BMT. On day +70 on had labs and met with the medical team. Some of my concerns with weight loss and declining platelets were considered. I had finally regained some weight 3lbs. This was an indication the steroid budesonide was beginning to help food absorption of nutrients.

CLL along with hemolysis
i started OV treatment in April and have finished the cycles of Obinutuzumab. My Venetoclax dose has been changed a number of times due to counts. Last few weeks have been 300mg and blood has been pretty normal except for platelets which have often been low but are now 88 - with everything else pretty

Folic acid
If your folate levels are good, and you continue with EOD B12 injections, only taking folic once a week, what happens? Will you return to getting symptoms or does it mean the B12 just doesn’t get utilised as well as it should. I have been taking a B complex every day which has folate in it. Is the folate

Is this normal after SI?
Hi. As previously mentioned, I've been SI 1000mcg Hydroxycobalamin every other day for just under 2 weeks. At the moment my neuropsychiatric symptoms are very bad, and (unfortunately) seem to be getting worse daily at the moment. Am taking co-factors, but am being tentative with the potassium addition

Buprenorphine and depression

Doctor said levels are nothing to worry about but been googling and think points to anemia. Any recommendations of supplements

Dull headaches
I'm on Roactemra injections now bi weekly due to low neutrophils. Question anyone else on Roactemra wake in mornings with a dull headache. I've noticed it's usually worse in the days after the injection.

Buprenorphine side effects- sertraline
I suffer from depression as a side effect from Buprenorphine and having tried pregabalin unsuccessfully (50mg/day) i asked my GP to prescribe trazodone. He was very reluctant and suggested sertraline. Has anyone used this and does it cause RLS symptoms? Thanks for any help on this Davchar23

Purchasing Hydroxocobalamin Ampoules UK
Hello All, Just wondering if anyone can advise where is the best place to source hydroxocobalamin vials from in the UK, please (plus syringes)? I found a website which was really reasonably priced (£13 something for 5 vials), then discovered that was only if you were a registered pharmaceutical practice

Active B12 better, do I reduce injections?
I started on hydroxocobalamin injections EOD at the end of May, plus cofactors. I have recently done a Medichecks test which showed my folate and Active B12 are now in good range - will post in comments. I wouldn’t say any of my symptoms are gone, some have improved very slightly. Dr Klein thinks I can
