Do I Poke The Bear?
I had my B12 jab last week, I get these every 2 months and am grateful to have them. I've suffered B12 issues since childhood, have dim memories of blood tests and B12 jabs back in the day. I changed surgeries in the early 90's due to moving and have been with this practice ever since. So I'm not sure

How UV affects us

When the cells of the skin become damaged from UV light, it causes them to die, in a process known as apoptosis. In a person without

Dear PA members - there seems to be many articles about negative and positive impacts of coffee/caffeine on autoimmune diseases. Does anyone know /researched if coffee has a negative or positive impact on AG PA? Its not clear. Many thanks

Help with vitamins
My ferritin and B12 keep going down despite the fact that I take supplements. Since being diagnosed with Hypothyroidism, Coeliac and SIBO they were steadily going up - I got my ferritin from 2 to 75, but in the last year it’s gone down to 39. My B12 is at 318 and was almost 500 a year ago. Does anyone
