Cofactors - B complex?
should I be starting on a B complex? I had iron infusion end of May and have been on EOD B12 injections since then. I am also taking folic acid 5mg every day and a spray vitamin D & K. I have been reading that some people take a B complex, but the one I saw also has folate in it and don’t want to

Bloodletting
I was talking to someone the other day about "rejuvenation". He goes to donate blood several times a year to keep his "iron level" in the blood in the lower range. He thinks that this is important for the ageing process. "Iron value"! There is a connection with Parkinson's! My iron levels are in the

Help with self-injecting
Hi everyone. As scared as I am to think of self-injecting, I finally placed an order for B12 ampoules today. (Thanks, Wedgewood for the info!) I have injections every eight weeks but like clockwork at four weeks in, I always have trouble while out on walks, feel like I am going to fall over

Bone marrow biopsy
Hi, hope you are all keeping well. I am Jak 2 on Hydroxycarbamide for the past 10months. My platelets were down to 475 but my last blood test showed they were up slightly to 525 and my iron levels had dropped. I was sent for a bone marrow biopsy and an iron infusion last week. I was given a local anaesthetic

Couple of questions re blood results
I've been trying to get my doctor to let me have B12 injections more frequently. I am currently having them every three months am noticing some improvements in my symptoms initially but the benefits seem to wear off quite soon after a few weeks I would say. Some of my symptoms don't seem to be improving

Hyperthyroidism blood results.
Morning all, I posted here several weeks ago as I had been taken off Levothyroxine after high t4 results. I have half a thyroid as had a benign growth. I paid for a blood test and after a couple of issues with the finger prick tests, I got a nurse friend to take my bloods. I got the results this morning

Gummies - BE CAREFUL
There is a huge range of substances now available in the form of gummies. And gummies are made to taste nice. And this disguises that they contain active ingredients with serious effects. They themselves seem entirely innocuous. Possibly there is more concern over any sugars and sweeteners than what

Would I absorb B12 in tablet form if I had PA?
Hi all, On a hunt to figure out the cause of my continued iron loss... Had an iron infusion in July 2021 and I'm now back to deficiency. GP has done all they can, confirmed by private GP. The guidelines now assume iron loss is related to periods... except mine are very light and only last a day so

How do I know if I have PA?
My issues with B12 only came to light after booking an iron infusion with Dr. Klein earlier this year. He asked me to stop taking any b vits for a month prior to my blood test. After 3 weeks of not taking B12 and other b complex supplements my health rapidly deteriorated. I became weaker by the day
