Perhaps not utilising B12 - how to know? what to do?
Hi, I'm new to this forum. I don't *think* I have PA but it's one of several possibilities that I'm looking into. My profile has more info and you're welcome to stalk me on the Thyroid UK forum if you like. ;) but I'll give a brief background after my question here. Is it possible to have high B12 levels

Iron alternatives + iron interactions
I've been put on Ferrous Fumarate and can't tolerate it. I think I've read that this isn't the "best" form to take - am I remembering right? If it's true, does "best" mean most easily aborbed, most effective, or what? And what's best for correcting low ferritin? My ferritin was very low a few weeks ago

19 years old, wanting to self inject B12??? - long post!
I'm 19 years old, female. In October 2017 I was diagnosed as being deficient in B12. I initially went to the doctors for headaches and he ran a complete blood test. My B12 count was 92.

I've just found out that they are giving her 210 mg of Iron tablet at the same time as the Levothyroxine which shouldn't happen. This has been happening for 3 months and they

Iron tablets: change of stool colour after years
A delightful question for a Wednesday evening, but which I hope someone can answer. I've been taking 305mg ferrous fumarate daily for three or so years now, and my stool changed colour in the normal way; black as Guinness. However, for the last few days my stool has been much lighter in colour; I haven't

Turnaround time for Blue Horizons?
Hi, This is my first post here but have previously posted on PA. Had my bloods taken on 7th March for the Thyroid 6 blood test with Blue Horizon. They advised me by email after I'd placed the order that if the samples are sent to Edinburgh, that they are updating their systems so there may be delays.

Symptoms and next steps with testing

Q. I was just wondering.for the past 12 years or so (at least that's when the thought entered my.mind) I was always afraid I would be in an institution because I had lost what was left of my mind..I mean, suffering so much emotionally and mentally that I would just blow a fuse..just collapse on the inside
