Supplimenting Vit B12 and Folate - how much?
Hello,My recent blood test shows: Ferritin 107ug/l (30-250) B12 377ng/l (200-900) Folate 4.7ug/l (3-20.50) (they forgot to test for Thyroid, so I have got to book in again for that...) I have checked previous messages and think that my Folate is low and B12 could be improved. There are supplements

symptoms flare-up
I have been battling an iron deficiency since November, that seems to be a result of my correcting b12 deficiency with shots. I have not been taking the full recommended dose of iron until about a week ago. My ferritin is 25, which is up from 14, but still deficient. The last 3 weeks or so I have notice

Help with next appointment following loading doses
Following a B12 of 194ng/L (187 - 883) in August, in Sept it was 208. MMA and Folate both “normal” but Homocysteine was slightly above range so I have been given 6 loading doses and daily Folic Acid. (I don’t have the actual results other than the B12). I didn’t have any really noticeable response

blood count results?
Hi everyone! 😊 I was just wondering whether any of you wonderful intellectual people can read these blood results and maybe give me an insight to what they actually mean and if they are ok!? Iron is what I am most interested in… I am currently awaiting my yearly full vitamin panel blood test -

Serum ferritin level & RBC count help please
Hi there, just wondered If anyone could please tell me if a Ferritin level of 44ng/ml and a RBC count of 3.76 (whilst actually already taking Ferrous Fumerate 210mg twice per day) is still pretty low and ‘could’ maybe be the reason I’m still feeling exhausted/heavy tired legs?? Thank you in advance

B12 and nerve regeneration
Starting in the 1990s, and continuing until my diagnosis with B12 deficiency in 2021, I had a series of problems with piriformis syndrome, sciatic nerve pain, and similar involvements with leg nerves. In searching around for related B12 information in Google Scholar I came across this article: https:

Ever since

B12 or something else?
Hi About 2-3 years ago, during lockdown when it was difficult/impossible to see a GP, I started taking B12 supplements 3-4 times weekly. Whilst not wanting to diagnose myself, I felt I had little choice given the GP situation, plus my daughters are B12 deficient, and had the same symptoms as myself

Results are in
Other tests done recently were: B12 - 240 - I have pernicious
anaemia
and am getting B12 injections off the GP but am supplementing with injections of my own as 3 monthly isn’t enough. Ferritin - 16 - have been prescribed ferrous sulphate off the GP.

cardiac thyroidology in the Uk?
POTS dysautonomia and when i was living abroad was given T3 in small doses that helped me a bit as they said i had an underactive thyroid and a genetic tyoe of
anaemia
. I am in the Uk now an ddo not have an endocrinologist, i assume I need one to get both T4 and T3.

Changing from hydroxy to Analgride
Following post from 10 days ago, when I was taken off hydroxy due to
anaemia
, I had appt. today, & will be having another bone marrow check, & possibly blood transfusion shortly. Looks as though I,ll be going onto Analgride instead. Can I ask people please how they found this changeover?

Covid Booster Eligibility
I do have
anaemia
and low platelets but thankfully no ascites or HE (fingers crossed). Following a post on here a few days ago about cirrhosis and eligibility for a spring Covid 19 booster, I booked an appointment on-line but it seems I may have to cancel due to ineligibility.

B12 or folic acid first?
My daughter has just been diagnosed with B12 and folate deficiency, The likely cause is poor diet so I’m happy not to pursue injections at this stage. Her GP has prescribed B12 and 5mg folic acid, both in tablet form. Please can anyone confirm which she should take first and for how long before
