B12 - shots v pills
Hi Please could someone confirm the benefits of a B12 injection v taking a supplement? Are we just talking about larger doses and / or ability to avoid the stomach and increase absorption? Is availability of B12 injection really restricted on the NHS? If I decide to go down the chemist route, do

b12 keeps dropping ferritin
Hi Friends, Has anyone had success raising and maintaining ferritin after it dropped from b12 injections? I first caught the iron issue in October, after shots all last summer. I tried many supplements until landing on the least bad offender to my stomach. I got my ferritin to 33, but it dropped

New test results after NHS ones
Hi I got some good advice after being dispirited last week by 'normal' results from my GP. I got a set done by Monitor my health, hope you can read them. My question is, should I go back to my GP and ask for an increase in Levo from 75mcg to 100mcg or is that not going to help my T3 - which is presumably

Hello, for the last 6 months or so my GP has been supplying the B12 vials for injecting at the surgery. Previously I picked up a script and got the vials myself from the pharmacy.

Repost with more info: peripheral neuropathy
Thanks to Marion and Esperanto for helping me to provide more information. All questions answered here... (Original post question: my Movement Disorders Specialist (MDS) says foot numbness is not Pripheral Neuropathy, but rather a non motor symptom of Parkinson's??? ) I'm in my 10th year with PD symptoms

needle size
The needle My husband injects me with b12 is 23G x 1 1/4” Is this the right size as painful injecting plus when the liquid goes in.

B12 is a cofactor to the energy I get from the sun.
This is from 68 years of experience and observation 3 of them under supplementing B12. It is assumed that diet is the reason that those in the mediterranean climate may live longer. Pseudo Science that pays well.

Apotheke. B12
apologies to all re Apotheke. and Panpharma They accepted the order, the payment, and confirmation. Now advised this morning that the order has been cancelled. Wedgewood correct, they only deliver to certain countries in Europe.

A victory with my NHS GP! 🥳
I just wanted to share my joy that I've won my battle with my local surgery to get my EOD B12 injections on NHS prescription! After complaining in a persistent and factual manner about their handling of my health issues, I asked for them to provide injectable B12 over a pill that my stomach can't absorb

Food as medicine recommendations
I am educating myself via all the posts (thank you to all the regular posters). Is there a summary anywhere or a recommended book of how to ensure you are making the most of what you eat / don’t eat? For example, I just read that I need to eat steak and chips (great news) to help support optimal ferritin
