T3 & weight gain
Hi everyone I currently take 75mcg of cynomel. I am really struggling with my weight. I also have diabetes type 2. I haven’t had my B12 & iron tested for a long time. The GP ordered B12, Iron, Vit D tests. I have got my B12 & iron test back. I do not supplement for b12 & for iron I used to take bluebonnet

Desiccated pigs stomach
My sister recently read research from 1930s and I was wondering if anyone knows anything about eating desiccated pigs stomach. By doing so they ingested pigs intrinsic factor. I will try and find the article and add it to the post.

Medichecks testing
I have decided to take matters into my own hands and order an Intrinsic Factor test from Medichecks. I know to have it done towards the end of my B12 injection. I have requested a nurse to come to the house as I don't know anyone that can take the blood. Do you have to receive your test first and

Something I noticed
In my opinion, in the minds of doctors, there is a big difference between being B12d and having Pernicious Anaemia. For some reason people who are B12d seem to get fobbed off by the medical staff .... but if you have PA, it is seemingly a legitimate medical condition and they can't do enough to help

Pink (blood) coloured spit at least a couple of mornings per week for the past two months - very anxious! Only ever in morning.
Hi all - I’m 28 years old, smoked (quite heavily at times) since 19/20. Quit a couple of months ago. Otherwise have always been healthy, fit and active. Have been extremely anxious/scared because, for the last 2-3 months, about once/twice a week, give or take, I wake up and spit out pink. I have no

A Genetic Cause for Iron Deficiency
We see a steady stream of posters here who have iron-deficiency. Iron-deficiency is an important issue in hypothyroidism. Hypothyroidism can reduce our ability to absorb iron. Low iron (typically low to very low ferritin) prevents thyroid hormone being handled well by the body. Many times, low iron

This sounds like PA, right?
Several years ago I would occasionally get short of breath. I realized it might be B12, and specifically PA because I eat a lot of meat, and started getting B12 injections. I would get an injection, go several months without symptoms, start getting short of breath again, get another injection, etc. I

Help with blood results please: B12, ferritin and D.
Hi all. Having had a very low B12 result back in February I got sick of waiting for my GP to re-run the tests I'd had done privately, and paid to have them done again. My results are now in and I'd appreciate your input. Background: I'm vegetarian (though not vegan and eat a lot of dairy), hypothyroid

Asthma and AF
Hi guys, Has anyone on here any experience of using inhalers with AF. After a recent chest X-ray my GP said I had minor scarring on my right lung which he put down to a past infection and he didn't think it was the cause of my increased breathing issues, especially on exertion. I thought it could be

OK to take B12 supplement when serum levels are high?
Hi everyone! I am currently trying to work on my low ferritin 23 (15-250) and I have previously ALWAYS had low b12 alongside my ferritin and whenever one goes up/down the other always follows. I had a non moving b12 of 198-215 for years and I was previously on b12 injections last year but they were stopped
