IF test
Hello How do I go about getting an intrinsic factor test please? Is this something a GP can do on request at an appointment or do they need as advance notice? Can you get privately? Also- baby b12 test. Is it possible to do a finger prick or does a vile need to be taken? Many thanks

Hello long time no post!
Hello I first posted a few years back and with your help came to the conclusion that I was low in b12. Things Have moved on! But for context I continued to query my b12 with doctors, to no avail. I feel pregnant Oct 2018, again asked for my b12 to checked early in my pregnancy. It was ‘normal’

Oral b12 or injections
Diagnosed with low b12(130) had loading injections, not heard from gp since. I started self injecting hydroxycobalamin but continued feeling rubbish and have been waiting for neuro results due to weakness strange sensations etc . I don’t think anything has come up in those investigations so am left with

BAT, dutasteride, and my search for truth, Part 2 of 2
I believe it was Patrick who said “When 5alpha-reductase acts on T to produce DHT, this kicks off production of an enzyme to clear DHT from the cell. DHT has a very narrow window in which to promote growth. One of the metabolites of DHT is an estrogen - 3beta-adiol - which happens to be the natural

I’m not getting better :( advice??
Hi, New here.. Hoping to get some info on how long after loading doses before I should start to feel better I’m 23 years old and have always been very active (running, at the gym all the time). For the last few years I would say I’ve had a generalised level of fatigue (often having naps), but nothing

Ace inhibitors versus arbs
I am new to the forum. I have taken blood pressure medication for a number of years: 25mg Atenolol; 2.5mg Ramipril and as these didn't control BP, bendroflumathiazide was added. With the medication BP was around 145/75. My GP stopped bendroflumothiazide last year. Ramipril was increased, but BP

Haptocorrin and B12 Absorption
I've pasted below an excerpt from a paper which described how low vitamin D levels can cause insomnia. It also discussed why low vitamin D can lead to B12 deficiency. During my many, many hours of online research I've never read anything about this, has anyone else? Why vitamin D deficiency can lead

B12 serum level of 52
Hi I’m new here and just looking for advice. 12 years ago I was diagnosed with b12 deficiency with a level of 52 ng/l. At the time my symptoms were brain fog, fatigue, poor memory. My doctor said the b12 wasn’t causing my symptoms because I wasn’t anemic. He said I didn’t need injections and gave me

PA effecting work and need advice on how to approach my employer. Don’t know what I’m entitled to..please help!
Hi, I have PA due to lack of intrinsic factor. I’m really struggling at the minute with basic tasks, like writing a sentence. I tend to miss a odd word out and I completely forget how to spell, even simple words. The brain fog is unreal! I had a embarrassing moment at work the other day and it’s really

How to proceed?
Around 2017 the debilitating hypo symptoms started up. LDL cholesterol was flagged high and my morning blood fasting glucose started to rise by ten points (still within range), while terribly hyper/hypoglycemic all day. Before 2017 I recall living and functioning normally but looking back now I remember

Will Doctors Prescribe Pioglitazone (Actos)For NASH
I having no luck getting any physician to prescribe Actos for NASH and wondering the response others have received. I keep getting that Actos really isn’t prescribe anymore, too risky, or they just don’t believe in providing any medicines for NASH.

Timing of various medications? What do most of you do?
I've just read a 2013 article in AARP's "The Daily" regarding when to take various medications (https://www.aarp.org/health/drugs-supplements/info-12-2013/timing-of-daily-medications). Cancer drugs are not mentioned except to suggest that certain cancer cells may be more vulnerable when other cells
