A newbie question about vitamin D3
Before discovering compression fractures due to osteoporosis, I was taking various vitamin supplements. ( this is going to sound like Iโm a hypochondriac, but I was trying to stay healthy). I had Garlic tablets, Glucosamine& Chondroitin, vit B, vit D3 and zinc. After my DEXA scan, my old GP put me on

I was just trawling over my last very full blood results to see what I could learn. Again! All this towards taking T3 which appears to be my very necessary direction. Really there were no surprises. Vit D low, minor so far knock on effect to bone tests etc etc. However, for thoroughness and making

Latest results and problems raising dose
TL;DR - should I continue to try increasing my NDT dose slightly (from 1.75 to 2 grains per day, split dosing) based on the test results below, though I am getting some symptoms after increase (mild anxiety, hot flushes and sweats, and palpitations)? Further info/details below the results Inflammation

Active B12 Result
Just had a Medicheck Active B12 result of 89.9 pmol range 37 -188 It stated that this was optimal. Do you agree? seemed to me although adequate maybe would not be classed as optimal?? I do not currently take B vitamins but are currently on the loading winter dose of Vitamin D as prescribed by GP

5k or fartlek? 5k fartlek!
Iโm sort of back on the Nike Half Marathon plan ready for the Great North Run in September. I say sort of because Iโm not sure if the long run increases will work for my knee. Iโm focusing on doing the other runs and letting the distance evolve. Two runs left from week 1. 5k or fartlek? I thought

Vitamins/supplement balance 2ww and TTC. SO CONFUSING!
How do you manage preparing for an IVF cycle with suplements if you are also trying naturally? I am in a 2ww and might be pregnant if you believe in miracles. I have been taking the list below before, but learnt this is too much and can be detrimental in a two week wait so swapped for a pregnancy

b12 symptoms
Hi, Need advice on what else I should have included in my blood test. Haematologist is already going to test active B12, MMA and homocysteine after stopping B12 injections for 4 months to try to get to the bottom of why Iโm having symptoms. History of Hashimotos 2019, vitamin d 2020 plus co factors
