Starting Levo. B vitamin supplementation without b12.
I’m due to start levothyroxine today and I want to optimise its effects by supplementing. I’m having monthly injections of Vit D and B12. I cannot take B12 orally as it causes nausea. Anybody know a good B supplement without B12? Also I eat a lot of foods containing B12 so hopefully that and a monthly

I was just trawling over my last very full blood results to see what I could learn. Again! All this towards taking T3 which appears to be my very necessary direction. Really there were no surprises. Vit D low, minor so far knock on effect to bone tests etc etc. However, for thoroughness and making

I'm lost - no idea what I should do
I'm afraid this is going to be a long post. I have reached Liothyronine dose 60 mcg daily = 20 mcg x 3 daily. I have been on Teva because excipients in other brands caused me problems. I have a lot of other problems to consider. I have been trying to get a shoulder replacement operation for over 3

GP failed to inform me of Chronic Hep C positive test result for 7 years?

Dr Tim Spector says we are “mugs” buying supplements
At the Hay Festival, Tim Spector gave a talk on supplements and says that 99% have no effect at all. He did say B12 for vegans and vit D were OK, but the rest should be got from our food. He said “manufacturers of supplements are going to be the new future junk food companies – their budgets are massive

5k or fartlek? 5k fartlek!
I’m sort of back on the Nike Half Marathon plan ready for the Great North Run in September. I say sort of because I’m not sure if the long run increases will work for my knee. I’m focusing on doing the other runs and letting the distance evolve. Two runs left from week 1. 5k or fartlek? I thought

Gluten/Dairy restriction, can it really affect your blood results in a short time?
Hi, I have posted here before about levels/symptoms. But I wanted to ask about elimination diets, particularly gluten and dairy and if it makes significant changes to one's blood tests. I did an elimination diet in October, cutting out nightshades, nuts, soy along with dairy and gluten. I reintroduced

Vitamin D
Does anyone have evidence (for a questioning GP) about vitamin D levels? Mine was 172nmol/L and GP says it’s too high. However optimal is stated as 250-350.

Asking for blood tests
I’be been on levotyroxine for eight years now and have not had major issues. I’ve put on weight in the last 18 months, from overeating due to stress. Putting on weight is easy, but losing it seems impossible. I am 47 years old, so perimenopause can play a role, but I am asking doctor for blood test
