Newly Diagnosed
Had a Dexa scan to get a baseline for bone health and discovered already had osteoporosis. I have sjogrens with inflammatory arthritis. GP wanted to start treatment, but rheumatologist said I will be fine as I am on Calciferol 50,000 alternate weeks--which one do I listen to ?

New - help with bloods and advice please
My husband has recently had his blood results back and I'm looking for some advice regarding his GPs suggested treatment regime. He has a lot of symptoms which I believe relate to B12, but as he also has a brain tumour there may be some overlap. He is having very severe pain in his toes which he takes

Update - different results via Private and NHS
Added this update to my original post then realised I'd be better off starting a new post....... Well following the great advice people on here gave me, I went back to my GP and asked to be retested. I got the earliest appointment and fasted and the results were almost identical to the original ones

Vitamin B12 and vitamin D3
Alarming: yesterday I was listening to a radio interview (this is in Canada on CBC radio). Apparently 40% of the population is low B12. And yet, just like NHS over by all of you, doctors here are being discouraged from even testing for B12 because each test costs $40 and it's too expensive. At the

Best Time to take Vitamin D3?
Hi, I am currently on a maintenance dose of 10,000 D3 a week, taking one 10,000 pill on Mondays. I've read that it doesn't matter if I take it in the morning with breakfast, which is around an hour after taking my thyroid medication. I've also read that it should be taken 4 hours apart from the thyroid

Prednisone? and teeth
For those of you with incipient tooth problems, perhaps caused by "bone thinning" - please make sure you are getting enough Vitamin D3 and, above all, Vitamin K2. I cut back my D severely for some time, because I'd had a high reading and, because I thought maybe I was taking too much K2 (apparently

A new recruit???
Hi, Not sure if I belong here or not! I have a number of medical conditions, symptoms of which seem to overlap with the symptoms of PA. My dad has recently been officially diagnosed with B12 deficiency after a lifetime of Macrocytosis and another close family member is struggling to get her GP to recognise

Struggling with doctors and gettin correct info/treatment
Hi this is my first post and probably the same story as everyone else but I am struggling to get the doctors to agree to more frequent injections and all they seem to want to do is push me towards depression/CFS/fibro. I found out I had low B12 at the end of 2013 (22yrs old) with a level of 126 pg/ml
