B12 deficiency with dizziness
Hi all I'm new here but have found the posts really helpful - thanks to all of you out there providing advice. I'm writing to ask for thoughts about how to make sure my B12 deficiency is fully tested and how I can find out the reason for it. I've been diagnosed with B12 deficiency after experiencing

New here: Managing B12 dosage, "crashes" and antibiotics
Hey folks. I'd be grateful for any insights here if anybody has the time... I've lived with this health issue for almost a decade, without treatment. It has been called many things including IBS, Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue and my personal favourite "some sort of mental health issue". My last GP struck

Intrinsic antibody test after B12 multivits
Struggling with clarity on whether I should have the intrinsic antibody test when I have already had some B12 in my multivits? I have never had that test. The only bit I saw on the PA charity website was 'BE AWARE – taking supplements that contain B12 will affect any tests ordered by your doctor to

B12 deficiency - more frequent injections
Hi all, newbie here :-) I was diagnosed with b12 deficiency in January after months of feeling rotten. Initially I was pleased it was 'nothing serious' and could be sorted with injections. Levels were below 150 at diagnosis, no idea of the exact figure as test didn't show them. Also had slightly

Is B12 196 normal?
Hi everyone, I'm just after a bit of advice please. About 6 weeks ago I went to my GP because I had tingling in my toes on my left foot, was tired all the time, getting headaches, feeling unsteady on my feet, being a bit more clumsy than usual, feeling groggy. My GP did some blood tests and it came back

Blood results
Hi all. As per first post I am newly diagnosed with Hashimotos. I take 125 mcg Levo, still have fatigue, muscle aches, eczema. Any idea when this will improve. I had my dose increased 3 weeks ago and I was diagnosed with hypothyroid in 2013 before the Hashimotos was found. I seem to have a bit of rheumatism

I think all autoimmune Thyroiditis suffers should go gluten-free
As per the title, this is an opinion piece. Please see the disclaimer at the bottom that has been there since the start. I’m surprised the Thyroid UK site doesn’t say this already. I’m living proof of the dramatic impact, on anti-thyroid antibodies, that switching to a gluten-free diet can have. It

Rheumatoid Factor of 96 but Negative ANA test...what does that mean?
My name is Katherine and I am a 33 year old female. I have moving joint pain in pretty much every joint in my body (elbows, fingers, back, hips, knees, feet etc). My RF came back 96 but my ANA test came out negative. Can anyone explain what that means? Thanks so much!
