b12 advice please
Ranges for b12 in my area are 180 to 2000ngl Stop the thyroid madness say that serum b12 should be in the upper quarter of any range for health of thyroid along with optimum ferritin folate and d3. I have been concentrating on trying to get all the levels to optimum. I believe that my b12 has been low

Can anyone recommend a good private pernicious anemia doctor anywhere in Scotland? Two NHS GPs ignored my symptoms they don't listen
Hello, I am desperately looking for a doctor who is competent about vitamin B12 deficiency and/or pernicious anemia. I am positive to gastric parietal cell antibodies, my B12 levels are 444 (should be between 200-883) so nobody takes me seriously because it's not low. GPs won't even consider injections

Testing coming up
I read this helpful info on a forum post here from the admin: “Taking supplements that contain B12 will affect any tests ordered by your doctor to assess your B12 status. You should not take any supplement with B12 before having your B12 assessed (including MMA/homocysteine/Active B12). For testing

Perspective: The High-Folate–Low-Vitamin B-12 Interaction Is a Novel Cause of Vitamin B-12 Depletion with a Specific Etiology—A Hypothesis
Note: This paper is presented by its own authors as a [u]hypothesis[/u] rather than a wholly proved and accepted theory. However, excess folic acid has been identified as an issue many times. Typically, a GP prescribes 5 milligram doses, every day, and the patient continues taking that indefinitely

Iron Levels
I am on a reduction program for pramipexole, and it’s going really well. I’m taking gentle iron every other night. I also have some codeine tablets and I take one at bedtime. However I had surgery about eight weeks ago. I had my second full iron panel blood test about four weeks ago. My ferritin levels

B12 Test
I would like to get my B12 tested again using private Active B12 test. Last jab 2 weeks ago and take supplements. Would this be ok?

Iron Infusions
An interesting article on iron infusions and when they should be considered for the general population.It mentions that inflammation can stop iron absorption. It also confirms that newer iv iron formulations are much safer with very low risk of adverse side effects. Most GPs will say iron infusions are

B12 re-testing intervals UK
I had my B12 level checked 30/8. It was 189 which was within "normal" range. I tested at 534 2.5 years ago after 1 year of injections, starting at a baseline of 157 (which at the time was classed as deficient), I had 1 injection of B12 during that 2.5 year period so I had lost over 90% of the B12 I had

Anemia
dealing with iron deficiency anemia of chronic diseases and suspect a B12 deficiency too but I almost think my immune system has attacked something else, to the point that I have a whole nother level of Anemia’s … It’s been 6 weeks since I had my last iron infusion and I’m starting to feel really weak

Psychiatric symptoms of B12 deficiency
This is an abstract: the abstract is in English, while the article is written in French. The abstract is unusually thorough. It's not uncommon for posts on this forum to inquire whether psychiatric symptoms can result from B12 deficiency. This article is almost startling in depicting psychiatric symptoms

Iron Info Heme vs Non Heme
So, Heme iron is from animal sources and is apparently better absorbed than non Heme iron (from plant sources). The two different iron types are absorbed by different pathways. But, there are real risks in supplementing with Heme iron - Coronary Artery disease and Cancer incidence increases. I would
