b12 iron relationship?
Hi friends…I was diagnosed with a b12 deficiency in June, which is thankfully improving with injections (I had horrible neuro symptoms). I had my iron tested twice over the summer, both well in the good range (over 100). However, this week I had an iron panel showing my iron is 40 (literally the bottom

Iron deficiency
Hello I’m asking a question with regards to low ferritin levels (17.4). I’m confused whether I should be prescribed folic acid or iron?!

Targinact
I have had RLS for over 20 years and have tried most medications, the latest being Pregabalin, which was good but is now not working so well. I therefore asked my GP if I could try Targinact as I read this is now licensed for RLS. He has agreed and I just need to taper Pregabalin. Can anyone

Need help, please! TSH 0.01 to 8.25 to 1.12 to 16.9 to 0.07 All from 25mcg changes - down to Hashis or something else? T4 in range.
I keep my folate supplemented as I have macrocytic
anaemia
, but my iron & ferritin need checking - I have iron deficiency
anaemia
, too, but struggle with iron supplements and am considering iron infusion dependent on the next iron/ferritin results.

High Folate, Low Normal B12
Regarding folate masking a B12 defciency…my folate was 24 ng/mL and my B12 was 252 pg/mL when I asked to be tested for deficiency in January. I was having neurological symptoms such as anxiety, pulsatile tinnitus, tingling in legs and feet. Other symptoms include digestive issues (I believe I have low

Iron Infusion Attempt
This week I saw Dr Robin Fackrell privately at Bath Sulis Hospital to discuss whether an iron infusion would be an appropriate way forward for me and if so how I could progress this. The outcome of the session is that Dr Fackrell will write back to my GP recommending this course of action for my RLS

Hi all, I recently did the 'Full health screen' from Monitor My Health and all the vitamin results have come back without proper ranges. Only the graphs. Which is irritating. BUT Would you supplement iron with these results? I can't afford to do a full iron panel, and I had assumed this test would

Advice about diarrhoea symptoms please
I have had very little assistance from my GP in relation to my Pernicious
Anaemia
with gastric parietal cell antibodies diagnosis earlier this year. GP reluctantly agreed 5 loading doses but no more than three monthly injections after that, even though I have neurological symptoms.
