At What Level Is Low B12 Treated?
Hi! I recently had some blood tests and my B12 came back low at 180, normal range 197-771. My folate was 4.7, normal range 3.9-26.8. Full blood count and ferritin fine, I had iron deficiency anaemia and have been successful treated for that and all those levels looking good. My question is, at what

well after getting my labs back from Dr. Cooper I have to say that I am a little disappointed in the fact that he said my feretin levels were good at 51. I have understood from you guys that it needs to be at least 100 so him saying that 51 is good disappoints me. That being said I received my results

Vitamins for fatigue?
Another photo of the Whitwell area. On my good days I love to walk alone, with a friend or a group of friends. We go all over the Island, up the downs, along the rivers around the coast. I feel extreme lucky to be able to do this, though It does obviously depend on my energy levels (seems to be getting

A suggestion that is working well, for me at least. AT least for now.
I think RLS can have several triggers, as well as several things that help. Sometimes it changes and what worked often does not neccessarily work each time. It may work again, but in the meantime, you need something else. Certainly avoiding foods or substances that bother and trigger the RLS, is a

How quickly would B12 Levels drop post injection?
Hello, I had 6 loading doses of B12 in September following a B12 level of <145 (test doesn’t specify below that cut off) I had some symptoms including muscle aches particularly my legs above my knees, anxiety, panic attacks, fatigue, dizziness and pins and needles on my left hand. No evidence of anaemia

Sunlight relief
For the last 4 days I have had no PMR pain or stiffness. Why? I am on St Kitts, where there is abundant sunshine. I'm probably making tons of vitamin D. Although since my PMR commenced in Dec 2022 I have taken a vitamin D pill daily, I can't trace any relief to that. As for "perfect" days, I've had

My doctors have just done B12 and folic acid blood tests, I was diagnosed in 2002 with pernicious anaemia. I have just been told that both results are high and that a doctor may want to speak to me. There is rumours that the surgery are trying to cut back on prescription and I am worried they will stop

Medical Insurance coverage?
I was shocked when I sent in my claims to our Insurance company -when they “denied” the claim saying they do not cover any supplements or vitamins. 🤔 Hmm. So, this is frustrating and annoying. The cost of supplements that my Doctor has prescribed is significant. anyone else had this same situation?

New Year New Bloods! It's time to titrate! Please help!
I made it to 8 weeks. This feels like a long post - I have both Thyroid and Iron issues to work out... I tried to make it shorter, but did not succeed, so here is a 5 bullet summary first.
TL;DR: Got results I didn't quite expect:
- I only changed a wee bit... + 12.5 on the levo

PTH and aggressive PCa? I need guidance
Hello, everyone! I can really use some guidance. My husband’s PTH (Parathyroid hormone) has been elevated since his Dx (pre & post treatments) Being that his blood calcium is at normal levels, his MO ruled out Secondary Hyperparathyroidism, and moved on. But that never sat right with me. Why the elevated

Is 3 times enough? And inherit.
I've been si M,W & F for couple months now and beginning to think it's not enough. Not sure if this happens to anyone else, but I get very tired, and weak until I eat something. It's a night and day difference after I eat, then a few hours later that all repeats. Do you all think I may need to increase

Iron Levels
79yo male with classic tale of RLS. Started at 17yo. Progressing over the years. Augmentation last Christmas on Pramipexole and a hell of a time transitioning to gabapentin. Unfortunately though I could not stop the attacks even on high doses and taking it as advised by Sue Johnson. Helpful doc allowed
