Folate and B12
Both my Folate and Active B12 are only just over 40% through range. Can anyone recommend good, and hopefully not too expensive, supplements please.

Could Someone Explain The TTGIgA Test Please?
Hello! I have recently had some blood tests done due to low vitamin B12 and long term issues with iron deficiency. My GP did some tests to rule out Celiacs as a cause, and I just wondered if somebody could explain the Tissu Transglutaminase IgA test please - my result came back at 0.4 (range 0-6.9) I

Low B12 but Negative Parietal Cell Autoantibodies
Hi! I had some blood tests done last week (a brief history - I haven’t been 100% since I had Covid 14 months ago and been suffering with extreme tiredness and fatigue.. I was found to have iron deficiency anaemia and was successfully treated last year), it has shown I have low B12 (173 - range 197-771

What else to increase T3? Tried everything ...
Hello beautiful people, My latest TSH is 0.66 and had to lower thyroxine just a bit (from 100/88 to just 88) as was getting some hyper symptoms and felt way better with a lower dose, finally have energy and drive again! My T4 is healthy range, 60% through. However, my T3 dropped to just 10% of the range

are you taking vitamins / supplements, in conjunction with use of a prescription bone treatment?
let me know how it's going, and what you're using, please, thanks ... after all, the main trial for prolia had participants on daily calcium supplement with vitamin D.

Feeling woefully undermedicated……
Hi everyone, A friendly nurse practitioner agreed to run some blood tests for me this week. I remain undiagnosed. I’ve been using Metavive since January and have been trying to switch over to Thyroid S for a couple of months. I’m finding it very difficult to increase my dose (unpleasant side effects

Blood results
Hi can anyone tell me what this means. My THS came back as 14.80 but my free TT4 Is saying normal range 17.3. My B12 is fine 409 and so is my cholesterol. If my T4 is fine do I need to put my dose up? I am just starting to feel a bit better. They haven'haven'done my T3 yet

sourcing b12
I’ve been unable to get hold of my usual panpharma b12 for SI. What alternative do you use? Hoping to stay injecting hydroxocobalamin as my body hates change. Thanks, Cx

Metatrexate
I am now back on 15 mil of Metx injection with 20m Pred. followed by folic acid 2 days later.and all seems to be going well and not affecting my blood sugar levels so badly. My B12 was very low so also had a course of injections it seems to be a fine balance between blood pressure, blood sugar levels

Informing GP of sourcing own supplies
Hi, as some of you are aware I am in the process of writing to my GP and my MP. My GP does not know that I source my own supplies of B12. I was going to put this in my letter so that she, and my MP, can see the lengths people have to go to have any hope of recover. As B12 is not available over the counter

Inflammation and RLS
I have always believed that inflammation was part of my RLS. I believe this because my RLS responds well to ibuprofen. A recent blog was using this study http://www.smj.org.sg/sites/default/files/SMJ-57-514.pdf The study is from 2016. The study proposes to use the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio
