B12 injection dose
Hi, I am 57 years old and had a total gastrectomy 9 years ago on 29 May 2008. Because my stomach has been removed my body cannot absorb b12 from foods or tablets. I have to inject myself with b12. My doctor believes that the correct dosis for b12 deficiency is 1mg per month. However when I only inject

Blood test results show low in B12 & high in iron
My friend is on a course of B12 injections (at the moment every other day). His B12 is obviously low, but he has been told by his GP that his blood test show is iron is high, I'm confused, can anyone explain how this can be the case? Many thanks

High thyroid antibodies and iron issues
When I posted ~10 days ago about my low-ish ferritin and high serum iron, researcherUK and SlowDragon suggested I get a complete iron profile, as well as test my thyroid antibodies. Thanks again! To recap what I mentioned in my initial post, I was diagnosed in 2010 and currently take 75mcg Synthroid. In

B6 levels dropped, I guess because it wasn't treated when I had my initial B12 shots months back. Something even nastier popped up as well. My iron levels dropped by
