IRON AND VITAMINS
Hello everyone, I asked for my irons, b12 and vitamin D to be checked after a really good Drs appointment and a low TSH result of 0.27. Would you please tell me if you think I need a bit more iron. I was not taking any supplements for a week prior to the test. Thank you in advance. Serum folate >( 3.9

Problems with the Medical Profession
As the B12 provided by the UK NHS has proved to be totally inadequate for my wife's needs, we have been supplementing her with injections of 1mg Methylcobolamin every month. This is proved to be literally a life-saver. She still gets a B12 shot every 3 months per NICE guidelines. Her recent blood

Low B12 with 'normal' MCV/MCH

Ferritin up and b12 up - translation of blood tests, please?
Please could someone advise as to what these iron tests show? My ferritin level has gone up. B12 level has gone up and as I do not take any b12 supplements ( my last 3-monthly injection was 31/5) how can my levels go up when it is now longer since my last dose?? Concentration is still a main problem

My Experience
I wanted to share this, as this is my journey and I feel better than I have for years. I am confirmed as B12 deficient and now take daily Methylcobalamin (2 per day, has been at 6 per day) and have injections every two months. I have to take daily supplements as I suffer from visual disturbance.

Low iron
Hi there I posted last week for the first time about my IF pernicious anaemia and had bloods taken as I have been feeling dreadful. GP says I have low iron and thinks I may have a bowel issue so is referring me. Can I absorb iron if I cannot absorb B12 ?

Questions from a person new to B12 deficiency...
Hi everyone, I have been reading through lots of your posts, and you seem to give each other wonderful advice and support! I wonder if anyone can answer a couple of questions so I can understand how B12 deficiency works... 1. When you say that with folate and B12 a surplus of one masks a deficiency

Hi all, I have low ferritin which I have supplemented using a sachet of spatone a day and brought up from 13 to 26 with the range of 23-300.
