Active b12 result
Hello, so gp did my serum b12 which was 206 a few weeks ago and said he wasn't worried. I am worried because I have lots of symptoms and had a b12 deficiency a few years ago so I paid to get an active b12 test done privately (UK). Result is 47 pmol/mol. It says the cut off for a deficiency is 38, so

my story
I live in the US and have had RLS and peripheral neuropathy for a number of years and controlled it using tramadol. My doctor took me off of it because of opiate regulations. After trying and failing at buprenorphine, that doctor decided that since I was 80 years old, had been taking a low dose of Tramadol

Can anyone offer some help regarding my Ferritin levels for my RLS please.
Hi! I'm after some support and recommendations please. I started running as my BP has gone into high range. Unfortunately, shortly after, I started to get RLS at night. I don’t know if exercise and RLS are linked, but I need to continue to exercise, to help manage my high BP and Hba1c. Unfortunately

Time and again I see recommendations that one should speak to an MPN specialist or someone else on one's care team - and I have a quiet chuckle and just carry on with my life. I am Coeliac around 2010 I was diagnosed with Atrial Fibrillation and Essential Thrombocythemia; since then I have progressed

Iron levels normal
If my iron levels are within range is there any chance taking an iron supplement would be beneficial? I know too much is dangerous. Sorry if answer is obvious, but I'm desperate.

Another! GP appt. Tips for making the best of it please?
I posted on Monday about my experience of not having my low but still apparently "normal" vit B12 etc levels not taken seriously and ignoring the fact I have a lot of symptoms of pernicious anemia (I've also posted on the PAS forum, but there are far fewer people on there). https://healthunlocked.com

hi I have been desperate for sleep but my RLS has been so bad that I’ve found it impossible I managed to get a GP appointment and told her my story and background and although she was sympathetic said the RLS I’d very difficult to control I told her I had no desire to go back on to a DA and my problems

New to all this, please help with test results
People on the Hypothyroid UK forum have suggested that I join this forum because of some test results that I received yesterday. Long story short, I've finally been diagnosed with hypothyroid, but I'm still having awful problems with my memory, attention, concentration, finding words and ability to

Hi all, hoping for some help! I was sent for an mri for consistent blood results suggestive of pituitary issues. It revealed an empty sella. I was referred to endo/neurology. They did tests - no problem with my pituitary. I had consistent blood results showing very low TSH with low/mid level t4 and

On the advice of greygoose who has said that my B12 is dangerously low despite being in the "normal" range, I'm posting to ask how I should be supplementing and what brands of supplements people recommend.

Gabapentin and Oral Iron
When taking iron supplements on alternate days (iron bisglycinate 25mg) and using gabapentin nightly, how far apart should the iron and gabapentin doses be on the days that I take the iron?

New test results
Hi, Here are the Blue Horizon test results for my friend where I think she's showing hypothyroid because of the low T4. Do you agree? Is Total T4 also a bit low in range, do you think?Next step will probably be to get the gp to test again and check the low T4 wasn't a one off as there's no thyroid panel

Vitamin recommendations?
Hello all. Just doing some research as alongside an underactive thyroid, my vitamin levels are very low. Does anyone have any tips of particularly good vitamins to take, as I’m sure I will need stronger than a standard multivitamin! Have added my levels for reference. TSH 6.51 (R 0.27-4.2)

Is this hypothyroidism?
Hello, a friend just had some thyroid blood tests back from Blue Horizon and I wanted to check with you if you think they're hypothyroid. I'll ask permission from her to post the results in detail but for now I can give a basic overview. Background info, she's often tired and cold, and has mental health
