Female and male pre conception supplements
Hi Everyone!I'm looking for recommendations on pre conception supplements for me and my husband. My husband has a low sperm count so any recommendations to help that and I'm wondering are there any supplements for women that don't contain folic acid so I can take folate separately? Thanks :)

scared again. Blood in urine.
So I’ve previously had blood in urine, and urination issues non stop since that time. Approximately 3-4 years ago. I was peeing loads and had sensitive bladder. I had the Cystoscope (worst experience of my life). And mri scans as well as ultrasound. They all found nothing. I was discharged despite no

Low Potassium/High Calcium Caution
Hi Guys I had a mineral check via a hair test and a DNA Methylation report via a mouth swab (corrected 16 June as I had them the wrong way round) as suggested by a nutritionist who has been helping me sort my gut and auto-immune issues. I wasn't expecting much ... but how lovely to be pleasantly surprised

Phlegmy chest and snotty nose - B12 reversing symptoms??
Hi all, I recently completed my 6 loading doses and am 4 weeks away from my 12 week top up. I am glad to say that most of the B12D issues have subsided if not disappeared (these were lethargy, numbness in thumb and forefinger and occasional twitches in right eyelid -not serious by other B12D suffers

Am I reversing out?
I feel like death. Every other time when I’ve been put on B12, twice before I noticed a gradual improvement in all my symptoms. My gp gave me loading doses only so I then nose dived. my main symptoms have always been frequent urination (I’ve had all other possibilities behind this checked and apparently

What folate level should I aim for?
I've been searching and I cannot find the answer to this anywhere - what folate level should I aim for? I found one study where healthy men had a folate level of 12 ng/ml. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4236337/ Mine is deficient at 3 micro g /L (range 3-25). I'd love to know what is

Help with latest Blood Test
Hello, I’m hoping someone can give some advice on latest blood test please. I am on 100mgs Levothyroxine. I did trial T3 but didn’t notice much difference by taking T3really. Im not sure if this is because I wasn’t on a high enough dose of L4 at the start of trialing it. I have taken the D1o2 test

Antibiotic for UTI
I have been prescribed nitrofurantoin from my surgery for my UTI. Bearing in mind they don’t acknowledge that I have a b12 deficiency, should I be taking them? I did mention it to the triage nurse I spoke. I started B12 injections a couple of weeks ago, so hoping it won’t cause me any problems, but

needle size for IM injection?
just wanted to know what needle size I should be using? I am not sure what size the gp was using and was concerned the ones I am using may be a bit to short. I say this as although I am using the same b12 they do, it’s seeming less effective than when I had them through my gp.

FasFasting before blood test
