Feeling wiped after B12 injections anyone else?
Hi I am in B12 injections 12 weekly via my Gp surgery. I was given them due to low B12 levels over a year ago. They won’t do any more frequent than 12 weekly. However every time I get a B12 injection I am completely floored and feel exhausted for days sometime a week after it and that’s not the effect

Does this sound ok?
My adult daughter was recently in hospital with a prolapsed disc and had a blood test which showed Hb of 10. Her GP did an iron profile and B12 as her uncle and grandfather had PA. B12 was 169 and ferritin 13 and HCT MCV and transferrin results abnormal. He is starting her on loading B12 injections

Iron/bloods... confused!
Hi, I was diagnosed with iron deficiency anaemia in May and have been taking iron (gentle iron) and recently had a blood test to see if it had improved. I was annoyed to find that they didn't test ferritin again, just a full blood count. My haemoglobin is now 135 (range 120-150) so bang on. I spoke

Sublingual B12?
Hi there! Despite a low B12 level (95), macrocytosis and neurological symptoms, my GP really just wanted to put me on 100 mcg per day of B12 for 3 months. Since I didn't test positive for IFABs, I had to fight to get injections, but was only given 5 loading doses. My husband has felt unwell for some

Interdependance of iron load and thyroid function
The interrelationship between iron load and thyroid function is pretty well accepted, but I post here a paper showing the effect in children (can extrapolate safely to adults I think). It underlines the need for good iron loading to help rule out or confirm hypothyroidism.

Iron Infusions - the type of iron used may matter.
Here is a rather long and confusing article. Read it if you need to be lulled to sleep. https://journals.physiology.org/doi/full/10.1152/japplphysiol.91076.2008 In it I found a ridiculously interesting paragraph as follows: "Deficits in regional brain iron and changes in uptake and efflux of brain

Just another quick q re my earlier post and the relationship between ferritin and serum iron
When my serum iron was lower my ferritin was higher and when serum iron was higher ferritin was lower. Is this coincidence or significant? Thanks

B12 deficiency - Mood disorder in a teenager
I have been looking at articles on B12 deficiency and mental health and thought this one was interesting. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3404901/ Apologies if it's been posted before.

Does anyone know why the NHS is telling GPs not to test Vit D levels anymore?
I saw my GP today. He was quite happy to give me a blood test request form that says that my thyroid, Vit B12 and folate should be tested. But even though my most recent Vit D test results - 3 years ago - were low, said he wouldn’t ask for Vit D test for me because GPs are being asked not to measure

B12 Injections: do they cure Pernicious Anemia?
Hi, I have just been diagnosed with PA, related to vitamin B12 deficiency. My GP has prescribed a course of vitamin B12 injections (12 over the next month followed by a quarterly booster). I would be interested in hearing from you if you have had the course. Did it cure your Pernicious Anemia?

B12 now back to 'Normal'.
A few months ago I became very ill and after a series of blood tests was found to have very low B12 levels. I had all the symptoms of B12 deficiency/Pernicious Anaemia. My doctor prescribed Cyanocobalamin 1mg per day. After taking this for two months blood tests show that my B12 levels are now close

Iron blood test
I've ordered a full iron panel test from medichecks, but just wondering presumably I should stop my b vitamin complex a week ahead, but what about my iron supplements? Should I stop these as with any thyroid test?
