Hashimotos??? Or am I just a crazy lady?
Hi, I have been tested TPO 75IUml, my test results say - consistent with autoimmune hypothyroidism, raised antibody, suggestive of autoimmune thyroid disease. My TSH was 6.8 and 14.6 in November. I ended up in A&E today with heavy chest and shallow breathing. The psychiatric nurse diagnosed depression

Unclear diagnosis
Hi everyone My doctor told me I’m low in B12 (my level was 114) and I’ve just finished the 2 week course of 6 shots. I’ve also had a second blood test to test for intrinsic factor antibodies and parietal cell antibodies but my nurse was less than clear as to what this means but she did say it’s not diet

Thoughts on Intrinsic Factor supplements
I have seen labs like Metagenics sell a combo vitamin of B12 and intrinsic factor. I think the IF is derived from pigs. Any research if this is effective?

2 weeks post loading doses update
Hi all, I wanted to write an update. There are a lot of horror stories online but I wanted to share some positives. Something to note is that although I am slightly anemic, my B12 deficiency was caused by long term metformin use. My symptoms were intense and mostly neurological, wide spread numbness

Does the Vitality anxiety jewelry work?
I had an ad pop up on this jewelry called vitality which specializes in jewelry that eased anxiety. Some was stones which Had calming powers and others were beads that absorbed essential oils. It sounds perfect to me. A discrete way to cope with anxiety? But I’m also wondering if it’s a scam. Has anyone

Hello (I am currently on 25mcg a day of levo. I definitely feel underactive, having particular problems with inflamed gums that I have posted separately about.

Peppermint oil
I wanted to share this to help others. Firstly i have suffered constipation and bloating for about 20 years and for 10 years have taken laxatives to go. I started with Senna and then when they stopped working went onto dulcolax liquid until recently even that didnt work too well. Basically i suspect

Overpowing Ankolysing Spondylitis
For anyone wishing to hear about a success in overcoming ankolising spondilitis this video may be worth watching. Perhaps you might be inspired to try a similar approach. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1tIjeID6mc An interesting point that I picked out was that her recovery was helped by removing fish

Methionine Restriction.
New U.S. cell study below [1]. Studies show that vegan populations have a higher occurrence of various deficiencies. It's a diet that requires a certain amount of education & discipline to get right. But this also makes it an attractive diet for selective nutrient restriction. Methionine is an essential

After a B12 IM injection how long should I leave it before having a blood test that would give a reliable reading for B12.
Having conflicting treatment from different doctors at our GP practice that is seeing lots of changes of personnel. Had 6 loading and 1 maintenance injections and then different doctor stopped further ones after blood test for intrinsic factor came back negative.

Two Years Into Osteoarthritis
I started walking to relieve some of my “multiple site” osteoarthritis. Its Winter here in Wisconsin, so getting out there is hit and miss, depending on the road conditions. My docs at the VA wont prescribe anything for this condition except Ibuprofen. Ive read that ibuprofen breaks down the cartilage

CBD OIL Medium Strength
Reporting back after 1month on the oil as promised for pain relief. I started week one with two drops twice daily, and increased it weekly by one drop. have to say in my opinion, I don’t think it’s made any difference. I’ve still had to take my normal amount of pain relief. Maybe a higher strength or

Diagnosis issues
Hi, I have had a history of b12 def in pregnancy 23 years ago. My levels were at 700 when tasted in 2011 without having had a b12 injection for 5 years although I had had some oral b12 supplements during that period. In September my levels were rechecked due to neuro symptoms which I have been experiencing

Help with supplementing please
Hi all, I have popped over from the thyroid UK forum. I am newly diagnosed with Hashimoto’s and hypothyroidism. I’m feeling very tired with brain fog and poor memory and whilst I realise I’m probably not yet adequately treated with thyroxine yet I want to try and increase my B12 and folate levels
