Hi,I've been pointed to the PAS forum by the good members of the HU thyroid community. I'm a 42 year old male and have struggled with hashimotos hypothyroidism since 2018, with the last 2 1/2 years been very challenging. I'm sure you all know that the symptoms of being hypo and low B12/PA all cross

This is a the results and update of what the blue horizon doctor said. Still none the wiser. He has never taken any thyroid medications at all. And although his tsh is in range most ot the time it's really low I think know. And whst to do about it including the high cortisol. Thank you and if you need

Hello, I’m new here, but have been lurking for a couple of weeks whilst I try and get my head around what I think is going on. I am grateful for all the information I have gleaned from you all.....thank you! I am now convinced I have PA, because I have so many symptoms, for quite a number of years

Hi all, I have been reading a number of threads on here and have already learnt a lot, far more than my GP had to offer! I've been suffering with severe fatigue, itchy dry skin, dry mouth, Osteopenia and stomach/gastric related issues for absolutely years, it was always fobbed off as IBS and/or anxiety

I have felt exhausted for years. I had blood tests in May that showed my b12 levels were 74. Iron was 23, so only just normal. Vitamin d was deficient (24). I had six loading doses of vitamin b12 plus loading dose of vitamin d and ferritin tablets. I felt like a new woman after the b12 shots but within

I'm low on ferritin (20) I was told I can't inject because it's low? My b12 was low 232 in 2021 with high mma. Last year when all my neuro symptoms started it was around 390 for b12. I took supplements a few times, it raised to 630 and then got one injection on 6/2024. One month later my b12 was 298

I had a doctor's appointment yesterday at which I was hoping I would be able to get my B12 injections reinstated. My serum b12 at last blood test (29th November ) was 450 ng/l but it has fallen from 837 ng/l a week after my last injection in early August. My neurological symptoms are as bad as they have

Hi all...was hoping for your opinions. I see a NP (who has a good understanding of PA) monthly for my jab. Unfortunately she was out today, so another NP came in and refused to administer my shot based on my recent blood work (of course serum levels are over 2000!). She also stated that MMA was fine

I've made some notes!! I will be contacting the practice manager with a view to them providing training in B12 treatment. (Also posted this in PA forum but thought it might be useful in here as well ) • ‘On the day’ appointment to replace a scheduled appointment the previous day, which had not been

I've made some notes!! I will be contacting the practice manager with a view to them providing training in B12 treatment. • ‘On the day’ appointment to replace a scheduled appointment the previous day, which had not been inputted into the system • Did not read the notes I had provided. I had explained

Hi I'm a 43 year old male and was hoping for advice on whether I'm barking up the wrong tree being on here. for the last 10 years or so i've been in and out to GP's due to experiencing various symptoms that could potentially be attributed to low B12. In 2015 i started to experience tingling in

Hello to All, I've been reading for a while and thought I should present my case, hoping for thoughts and experiences. I had a thyroidectomy due to PTC in June 2022, and it seems that I can't take any thyroid medication without inducing horrible side effects. Over 2.5 years I tried several different

Hi, I have an appointment next week with my doctor who has recently stopped my B12 injections. I was just wondering if anyone can provide links to scientific papers, articles in medical journals etc that may help me.

Hi I live in Spain.I have a few autoimmune conditions. Lupus, Sjrogrens, vitiligo. On my last rheumatology appointment he mentioned a positive intrinsic factor and said he had tested my B12 levels 2 years ago and it was ok.

Hello I'm posting on behalf of my partner, who just had these medichecks done. I'm also hypothyroid, hashi and have P.A and cortisol issues which have all affected my vit/min absorption so I've been worried about him for ages. For the last few years he's become extra tired and achy, he's put on loads

Hi all I discovered in May that I had Intestinal Metaplasia and this was a real shock. I’ve had abdominal pain, stomach cramps, diarrhea, bloating, difficulties with digestion, excess gas (sorry!) for a long time. Also feeling of fatigue and low energy and mood. Then I only had blood test last week

Hi, my GP recently stopped my B12 injections which I have been having every 3 months for the past year as my intrinsic factor test was negative. I had previously asked for a greater frequency I injections because I was feeling like there were some benefits for a short while but these benefits were short

Hi again 👋! I posted about 4 weeks ago with my Blue Horizons test results but, since then, have had a GP appointment (with 2 trainees and GP supervision) and further blood tests, including antibody ones for pernicious anaemia. I never had a call from the GP with the test results, so looked them up
