switching/alternating Hydroxocobalamin and cyanocobalamin?
excuse my ignorance but I thought I’d check with those that know before I blindly go doing something silly. I was reading the NHS B12 pages and saw they only offer hydroxcobalamin and they suggest this lasts longer. So I’ve ordered some Pascoe to try. I have stock of cyanocobalamin and use that twice

Follow-up with haematologist
I saw my (private) haematologist last night and confessed my B12 EOD habit. It took him several minutes to come down off the ceiling and have a proper discussion with me as I made my argument: that, if I'd followed the NICE protocol I wouldn't be where I am today (mostly functioning well), I wouldn't

Been told "no longer need injections"
So I had my latest b12 injection yesterday. I just received a text from the doctor saying that "I no longer need B12 injections and can have oral supplements from October". I don't understand this as initially when I was first diagnosed I was given oral supplements to try for 2 months initially. My serum

On 60 mgs, potassium low, magnesium low, cramps, dizzy, fatigue ,the runs etc...
Due to reduce to 40mgs tomorrow but really feeling very strange, balance off, BP low for me, I'm on 2 x meds for BP which are contraindicated with steroids as should increase BP?? The symptoms are consistent with low potassium levels (call from hospital to tell me that) but worsening. Eating everything

I had the blood tests a couple of months ago and have had no feedback from the doctor at all.On the NHS app for some things it seems to show where your level sits against the

Recent iron results - not sure what to do now
Hi everyone, I've recently had an iron panel (NHS) after 10 weeks of supplementing with 1 then 2 x Three arrows per day, as well as taking cacao liquid (as recommended here) in the hope of increasing my stubbornly low ferritin. However I'm not sure how to read the results so any advice very welcome

I got my results back for pernicious anemia! Looks like folate deficiency, but would really appreciate any comments
I finally got my blood test results back for pernicious anemia. It looks like I don't have it, and that my problem is folate deficiency. And low reticulocyte count which would be caused by low folate I suppose. My other results are all in range, though active B12 could maybe be higher I am thinking

Buprenorphine side effects (hot sweats)
I use a low dose of buprenorphine (2x 10mcg/hr weekly patches) to successfully control my RLS. The side effects which cause me concern, in addition to the usual constipation etc., are nausea and hot sweats. I have reduced the nausea to a nearly acceptable level by staggering the patches (they only

Too much b12 please help?

I've recently experienced tingling and muscle aches and neck and leg tingling , and I'm concerned it might be due to having too much B12 in my system.

Increase injections?
I currently self inject once a week - I started about 3 months ago as I was having lots of pins and needles and burning in my hands, arms and feet. GP agreed to 10 weekly injections and I’ve continued with those without mentioning the self injecting. I always had a really strong reaction one or two days

Vitamin usage question
I am working on getting my vitamin levels in a better range. But, what happens when I hit that range? Do I continue with the same higher strength vitamins or do I need to find a different one for maintenance? Also, how often do I test Folate, vit d and b? I am taking very low iron and plan to test

B complex includes b12
I have been doing SI EOD Hydroxocobalamin for 8 weeks now, with cofactors. I have just seen a nutritionist to see if I can get my gut back to optimum health. She has recommended a few supplements that she think will help, one of which is a B complex, which includes folate, and also some Methylcobalamin
