B12 loading dose Questions
Hello, I'm due to start a course of loading B12 injections on Thursday and have a few questions. I'm pretty sure the nurse doing the injections won't have the answers and GP already regards me as a nuisance ;) Is it ok to be on HRT whilst having B12 treatment/being anaemic? My periods stopped out of

What iron supplement for low ferritin but normal iron?
My ferritin is scraping the range and is just in range but I feel like a supplement is necessary, I'm just not sure of what dose and what type of iron to use.

Recent PA diagnosis, serum levels high from oral cyanocobalamin, symptoms persist
Hi folks, 47-year-old female writing from the US; so glad I found this forum. After 10+ years of trying to get help with what I now realize were B12 deficient symptoms (mainly neurological; brain fog, clumsy, fatigue, low energy, grouchiness, sleep problems, etc.), my GP ordered a B12 test. 7/23:

Anyone else having to battle each time they need an iron infusion?
I’ve had PA since I was a teenager, although it took them years to identify it and I was 23 by the time I received my first loading doses. The main reason they missed the PA was due to an ongoing iron anaemia which was disguising the cell shapes on blood tests. The B12 was treated but the iron issue

Hashimotos or Vitamin Deficiency, latest blood results, advice needed please.
I posted 3 months ago and got some very good advice from the community. I am due to see the Endo on Friday concerning the nodules in my thyroid which have grown larger and would like to be armed with as much information as possible before I go. A brief recap. I had a thorough check up whilst in Turkey

B12 deficiency, injections and blood test results
Hello, I wondered whether there's anyone out there with knowledge of B12 deficiency? I've been feeling rubbish with loads of strange symptoms for at least a couple of years. My ferritin is always lowish - hovering around 15-18 ug/L. My folate was 11 ug/L in January, 10 in June and now 9.

8 weeks on 1000mcg cyanacobalim pills plus using B12 1200ug spray last 4 weeks. Help please, is it all working?
I hope someone can help me understand if I'm going in the right direction. I am trying to understand if my B12 has increased in accordance with what I'm taking but the ranges and pmol/ng/L confuse me so much. 31 July B Horizon results = B12 145 (145-250) pmol/L 14 August NHS results = B12

PLEASE HELP!!!!
Hey guys! Which test should I do if I want to know my body uses vitamin b12 and absorbs it ? Any gene test?If you are in uk please could you suggest me any good private lab ? you could have a functional B12 deficiency, where your body absorbs B12 but it can't get into the cells.
