Help - hoping Doc will do Intrinsic Factor test
Hi all! Long time user of the Thyroid UK HealthUnlocked forum, first time poster over here. I am diagnosed hypothyroid (I think it's hashimotos due to antibody flares) and over the years have had low vit D and low B12. I'm aware that with hypothyroid it's important to have good vitamin levels to help

B12 deficency or not?
Was hoping someone here could offer some advice. My GP recently ran blood tests to exclude Pernicous Anemia and B12 deficiency (both of which have now been ruled out - see results below) Intrinsic factor Abs = 1.77 Unit METHYLMALONIC ACID 0.27 umol/L [0.1 - 0.42] Is it normal to exclude B12 deficency

Folic acid and Sudden onset of symptoms
Hi Everyone - I’m new to the group and have just been diagnosed with PA. My b12 blood test was 311 but I had strong neurological symptoms that went away with b12 shots. Starting from March 2019 until I started B12 shots 3 weeks ago, I was having neurological symptoms where my feet and hands were burning

Peppermint Oil
Has anyone tried peppermint oil for gastrointestinal issues? Is there a certain brand that you recommend?? Also can you take it if you are taking PPI medications?

A couple of years ago I had a problem I thought was my balance, but having a routine blood test for my med levels, I was asked to have another blood test, a few weeks later I had a letter and a very good print-out about PA, it said that taking anti-convulsants can have an effect on your Intrinsic Factor

B9 Folic acid
Hi All From reading blogs on the site, I understand that b12, b9 and iron have to be in balance with intrinsic factor to enable b12 to be absorbed in the ileum. If this is the case, why, on the NHS site does it have a list of symptoms for b9 deficiency that differ from those for b12? Wouldn’t b12 deficiency

Apixaban and Crestor
I take Apixaban and have just been prescribed Crestor (rosuvastatin calcium) to reduce my cholesterol which has increased from 5.3 to 7.7. However, I am concerned that one of the warnings on the leaflet is about taking this drug when one is taking an anti-coagulant. Does anyone have any information

Meds and vitamins
I’m on metoprolol and I’m wondering can I take a multi-vitamin and fish oil along with my metoprolol? I read somewhere that fish oil lowers blood pressure so I don’t want it to drop it more than metoprolol already does TIA

Omega-3 supplement does not help above 50- Study indicates.
A lot of Research, large fish oil trials on Omega 3 in form of EPA/ DHA have been conducted over last 2 decades. The results have never been consistent with regards to health claims on CV risk, cholesterol, Brain Health, eye health, anti-inflammatory, etc. etc. While EPA / DHA may have shown some

GP questioning why serum b12 above range if body gets rid of excess b12.

Life changing help... FINALLY!!!
This will be a longer post, so just stay with me... I’ve had anxiety related issues ever since I was a child. As I got into high school, my panic attacks (which I didn’t know what they were then... I just knew I was dying every single time) started to become very regular. At least three to four a week

Advise needed towards FET
I also started using
castor
oil
packs over my lower abdomen since Saturday. What more can I do please? I’m worried sick as the consultant did not sound positive this new regime will work since the last one dint and recommending us straight to Surrogacy.
