Has anyone done any genetic testing for B12 deficiency? If so, what ultimately did you achieve?
Has anyone done any genetic testing for B12 deficiency? If so, what ultimately did you achieve? I'm looking to get tested as I want evidence that I have a problem processing B12. My hope is that it will put an end to the common dismissal that I/we experience. "B12 isn't a [or your] problem". Also, here's

What tests should be administered on a regular basis and how frequently for PA and/or B12 deficient patients?
Hi. I was just wondering how often PA and B12 deficient patients should be tested and for which tests? I am scheduled every 3 months to have a B12 test ( doc thinks I might have PA but IF is negative) and TSH (have hypothyroidism and the levels have been changing frequently); but do you think I should

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia treatment with B12 injections and oral folate
In the category of "not helpful but interesting", I am sharing this paper decribing a research project which treated patients with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and Fibromyalgia with B12 injections and oral folate. One interesting facet is that dose of B12 and folate is based on symptoms as reflected in clinician

Induced copper deficiency by b12 treatment
Hi, So i had treated an b12-deficiency and experienced the "worse before better" situation. To make a long story short, this actually turned out to be an induced copper deficiency as my body rapidly started producing new red blood cells to correct the macrocytic anemia. This required increased mobilization

More on bone pain
I realize there was a discussion on bone pain a few days ago but can’t find it. My apologies. I have unrelenting, often intolerable bone pain that has ruined my life. I have been chalking it up to vitamin D deficiency. I am vitamin D resistant and treatment is not raising my D level. I do not tolerate

B12 injections and iron
Had labs done today in preparation for my hematology check up next week. My ferritin has increased slightly, but my iron , TIBC, and sat % have all decreased slightly. Also my MCV increased and my WBC decreased. Most are still in range, but I know ranges aren't always optimal (and my hematologist

Does anyone take supplements as well as B12 injections ?
Hi Everyone My doctors have started me on B12 injections and I’ve had 2 loading doses out of the 6 so far . I’m wondering if people still take their B complex supplements on top of the injections so you get all the B vits still ? And if so what strength? I’m feeling very tired today after my second

B12
My mum is hypothyroid and results look good for her and endo agrees. However, active b12 is 51, folate and vitamin d are also low. She’s supplementing vit d (3000iu) / vit k spray, taking folate but GP is being unhelpful re b12. Are there any other tests she should ask for? How do you determine if

If anyone can help my dad interpret these numbers it might enable him to ask some intelligent questions when GP calls next week. Thanks
Hello again! I’ve asked a lot of questions on here lately and have received some really helpful and sound advice. This time I hope you can help with my dad’s reasonably comprehensive results. His thyroid hormones have been going awry for a couple of years and GP has just been monitoring. He takes no

Recent Iron test values and next steps
Hi all - I added Iron Bisglycinate (aka Ferrous Bis..., aka "Gentle Iron") 25 mg several months ago. I started with daily and soon switched to alternate days. I happily reported my RLS was [u]significantly[/u] improved. Today I received lab results for iron. Here is a comparison of last year vs. today

Oral B12 Update
I last wrote a post about 11 months ago in which I was exploring the use of oral B12 while waiting for a specialist appointment. A lot has happened since then and I have waited to reach a conclusion before posting an update. I have decided to summarise my findings rather than ramble on: 1. I found the

Is anyone able to help with my mum’s labs please
Hello all, She has Hashimoto’s which is well managed on glandulars and she feels well. Her thyroid labs are a little on the low side this time because she reduced her dose significantly having felt over-medicated previously but has since increased it slightly and hopes her next labs are better.

H Pylori and B12 deficiency
I am aware that untreated H Pylori can cause a vitamin B12 deficiency, but was wondering by how much? (I.e. could this be the *sole* cause of my B12 deficiency?) Maybe difficult to quantify I know, but was thinking whether I might in the future (after eliminating my recently diagnosed H Pylori) be able
