Covid Vax Antibody Response/ Member Survey
The LLS study here suggests 97% of us should get some response from the initial vaccine set. My understanding is your WBC counts, esp Neut and Lyph, are important at the time of vaccine. A while ago Paul123456 posted an antibody survey. Maybe a good time to do it again. -Whether you had Covid before

Blood tests - time taken
How long does it take for basic blood tests to be done in the community and for the results to return to the GP, in your experience, on average? The bloods I had tested were FBC, thyroid panel, iron panel and B12. Mine were done on Friday and I need - pretty urgently - to get the results back. Inside

More advice needed.
I wrote to the practice manager as advised, about the lack of treatment. Ive just had a text message saying i dont have b12 deficiency anaemia as my haemoglobin and mcv levels are normal, and the guidlines i quoted pre date covid, and they have been told tratment has to be oral cyanocobalamin. She

Fortification of flour is a public health policy known to reduce neural tube defects in babies
Note: As written, no mention of B12. I know I have previously seen the concept of fortifying with folic acid possibly being a problem in those who are B12 deficient being dismissed. [i]Folic acid is to be added to the most commonly consumed flours in the UK to help prevent spinal conditions in babies

Advice please
MY B12 result 183 (range 180-640) all else OK incl intrinsic factor. GP won't treat unless B12 lower than 150, despite my having neurological symptoms, muscle fatigue and lack of appetite. I feel really quite unwell and not sure what to do. I've started B12 sublingual myself at 1000mcg. Father and

Vitamin B1
Hello, Has anyone found higher than normal dosing of b1 was useful with hypothyroid fatigue? There seems to be v small amounts of research around b1, fatigue and auto immune conditions, does anyone have more insight? I noticed Thorne basic b has more b1 than most and Wentz seems to advocate for

Blood Test Results - Comments on levels please
Well I got my blood iron levels back today and I need a little help in understanding where they stand. 1. Serum Ferritin is 376ug/l. I believe this is acceptable as it seems the level for RLS should be above 250. 2. Serum Transferrin is 1.79 g/L. The Lab indicated that the normal range was 2-4. 3. Serum

I’m fed up
Before endometriosis I had severe
aplastic
anaemia
and had to have chemotherapy. I’ve been in and out of hospital since I was 12 years old. I’m not looking for sympathy but just someone who’s gone through similar problems as me because I feel so lonely even with my loved ones around me.

Low folate - what causes it and what does it affect?
Hello, I recently had some private blood tests and my folate level was low: Vit D: 100 nmol/L (50 - 175) Folate (serum): 9.15 nmol/L (8.83 - 60.8) Ferritin: 100 ug/L (13 - 150) Active B12: 131 pmol/L (37.5 - 188) I was surprised with the low folate because my diet includes plenty of folate-rich foods

Anaemia problems ?
Pooh bear (the wife) has been having a very rough time of it recently. Surgery to rebuild her hip following too many steroids, breathing problems and sepsis which thankfully was caught early. A constant problem she seems to have is Anaemia, particularly after a bad flare. Her haemoglobin count falls

B12 now back to 'Normal'.
A few months ago I became very ill and after a series of blood tests was found to have very low B12 levels. I had all the symptoms of B12 deficiency/Pernicious Anaemia. My doctor prescribed Cyanocobalamin 1mg per day. After taking this for two months blood tests show that my B12 levels are now close

Eye twitching is back. Why?
I have continued to take every other day injections with hydroxocobalamin for the past month. Unfortunately I ran out of hydroxocobalamin so I switched to cyanocobalamin. But some of my symptoms have returned including the eye twitch. Do you think this is dependent on the b12?

What indicates anaemia
Can anybody shed any light on my blood count please? My red blood count is low, hct 37 and my haematologist said it's nothing to worry about but I am struggling with my running in that although I feel I'm pushing myself as hard as possible I'm 5 + minutes slower doing my park run from pre pandemic days

How long does the "depot" last of a B12 injection?
The hydroxocobalamin injections I have seen all say "DEPOT". Does this mean an intramuscular injection of B12 forms a sort of "nodule" which dissipates slowly over a long period. Perhaps days? Could it be as long as weeks? I had the idea that B12 was rapidly absorbed by the flow of blood in the muscle

Which choice of B12 to buy?
Hi Everyone, I want to put an order into Bodfeld for my next lot of B12 Ampules but am confused? The usual ones I buy Rotexmedica Depot are showing in a different box (£48 18 for a 100) It used to be with black and red lettering and this one is a peachy colour. I also see it says Cyanocobalamin and

Is it possible to be deficient in nutrients, even if nutrient levels in your blood are optimal?
Just like thyroid hormones in the blood can be at optimal levels but may not be reaching the cells or may not be absorbed properly by the cells, I wonder if something similar could happen with vitamins and minerals. Vit. D3 65 (25 - 80) Vit. B12 1057 (180 - 914) Folate >20 (4.0 - 19.9) Ferritin 150 (
