Expiration date
After reading about the (supposed?) shortage of B12 in UK, I, too, am wondering if PanPharma’s shortened expiration date from 2 years to one year has contributed to this perceived shortage. Have we gotten the final answer on why PanPharma shortened their expiry date? Does anyone know if the inactive

High Dose Niacin (Nicotinic Acid) and Hashimoto's?
Update 01/22/2023: I just learned there is an increased risk of diabetes on niacin therapy: https://heart.bmj.com/content/102/3/198 This study was based on people taking Niacin for cardiovascular reasons, which I think would be dosed at 500 to 6000 mg a day: https://www.mayoclinic.org/drugs-supplements

Iron Infusion in the U.S.
Hello wise RLS colleagues!Has anyone had Medicare pay for an iron infusion for their RLS? I meet the RLS guidelines for iron infusion, but I have been told that Medicare will not cover it because I am not anemic. If it was covered, can you share with me what code was used? I have had RLS for 20 years

Intrinsic Factor Test
Hi Community :) For the last 3 years, I've had increasing numbness and burning pins and needles, headaches, fatigue, brain fog, and have been shedding weight. My GP has had me tested for MS (MRI scan says "no") and Neurology have diagnosed "funtional neurological disorder - FND". I then researched

Update on possible transformation to M f
I asked for my blood results, she said she wasn’t able to email me them but read some out - Platelets earlier this year were 474 but after Anagrelide was reduced to help with
anaemia
have now risen to 578 (on Tuesday) I have got a streaming cold at the moment so that might allow for some increase.

Help with iron panel results please
Hi, I had an iron panel done in July following years of trying to get iron levels up with Ferrous Fumarate, without any luck. Results attached. On consultation with my GP we agreed for me to try a Mirena coil. However leading up to the date for inserting this I freaked about the actual procedure and
