Active B12 levels
I read that : The normal range for active vitamin B12 (holoTC) is around 20 – 134 pmol/L (picomoles per My recent blood test states my active B12 level is 83.2pmol/L but states this is optimal. (medichecks) Do I need to supplement this?

blood test accuracy
Hi All, I order blood tests through Medichecks and have a blood draw at the hospital but also intermittently get blood tests through the NHS. According to the NHS my vitamin levels have gone down considerably but according to Medichecks they’re fine! Which one should I trust?! Thanks 😊

My calcium level appears low within bone profile blood tests. Are these an accurate representation I wonder?
Diagnosed with osteopenia after having Dexa scans in 2016 and 2023 and breaking wrist and arm in separate incidents of slipping on ice. My concern is that when my calcium is tested via bloods, it comes back as being borderline low even though I’m taking 900mg calcium citrate per day and ingest another

Blood tests to track MS progression
I have heard about a specific blood test, in US, that allows doctors to measure key biomarkers and evaluate a person's response to particular therapies targeting MS. This is the Octave MS Disease Activity (MSDA) blood test that analyzes levels of 18 key biomarkers that help doctors measure the level

Hi I'm just starting this journey of information. I am subclinical hypo - last test TSH 6.83. I've got a lot of symptoms and i'm unsure whether it's all down to thyroid, or if I am vitamin deficient, or if I am starting another fun journey of perimenopause. I'm vegetarian, my periods are regular and

update re post holiday symptoms.
further to my last post I increased to 17.5mg on Tuesday as I didn’t have any improvement in symptoms. I felt slightly better today and was able to do some food shopping without feeling ill afterwards. Had my GP telephone appointment tonight. She was not happy with my self medicating although I explained

Help interpreting results
Hi, apologies for long post. I’m a 34yo female. I’ve had symptoms that line up with hypothyroid symptoms for years. Had a few tests when my eczema flared up really badly around 12 years ago, which coincides with the time that a lot of the symptoms began. Have had fatigue basically since catching Epstein-Barr

Feeling poorly after eating
Hi everyone. I'm really struggling recently. My last flare up was absolutely awful to the point I thought I was dying (I know that seems dramatic)Everytime I ate 30 minutes later I would feel so poorly. It was like I had inflammation everywhere and had the worst pain in my calves, wrists, feet. Also
