Help with Blood Test Results again please.
Hello again, I would really appreciate feedback on my last test results please. Thanks to your previous advice I managed to convince an Endocrinologist to increase my Levothyroxine from 75mcg to 88mcg which I have been taking since last April. At the time of the last results I had been on that dose

Query of whether I have Pernicious Anaemia
I have been told by one Dr that I have Pernicious Anaemia as my B12 was low this year and last year. My ferritin was also low. I had been on a high dose of PPis for 4 years and intermittently for many years before that. Intrinsic factor this year was negative and when I had a gastroscopy last year

Reducing to 25mcg Levo only
Hi all. Just wondered if anyone has ended up on 25 mcg Levo only (no T3 or NDT) as an ongoing, not starter dose? Just had my bloods back (below) and my TSH remains low and T3 high despite dropping from 75 to 50 Levo 3 months ago. TSH .01 ( .3 - 4.2 ) T4 15 ( 9 - 19 ) T3 5.9 ( 3 - 5.4 ) GP

Is it possible to overdo the self-injecting of B12?
Hello All! Hope everyone's doing OK today. I'd welcome thoughts on my SI journey so far. I've been injecting the B12 for a fortnight now (daily, with only one day off in between). I've noticed no improvement as yet - if anything, I feel slightly worse - numb left leg, pain in arms, pins and needles

Undiagnosed Hypothyroidism
I've been experiencing hypothyroid symptoms for a couple of years now. My TSH has been steadily creeping up, but so far has remained in the "normal" range when checked in my local surgery, around 3.4. I had some private tests done and my TSH was shown as 4.4 (June) and 5.9 (August). My second test

What on earth is going on with my T4?
I've just got my latest test results back. I am currently on100mcg levothyroxine which was raised from 75 in June. However my T4 levels have significantly decreased since June despite the rise in levo. My TSH results have also decreased. Can anyone explain what is likely to be going on? I've also had

Methotrexate and Hypothyroid
Hi Everyone, I'm about to be started on Methotrexate for Psoriatic Arthritis. I'm hypothyroid and currently take 125ug Levo daily. My question is does anyone have any experience of these two things in combination? I know about taking Folate with Methotrexate but not sure about what it might do to my

Helicobacter Pylori
With my understanding of the medicial field including research I decided to study antibiotics as being appropriate for healing from B12 associated issues and found it unlikely it would have been considered by experts. I came across this and other references: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10809040

b12 folate balance ?
HI all I was b 12 deficient and started supplementing. Recently I am feeling tired and experiencing burning eyes. I checked my b12 it is over 2000. The last time I checked my serum folate it was 7.6 in the month of july. Are my symptoms related to low folic acid ?I guess 7.6 is good isn’t? From past

Confused and seeking wisdom !
I have been living with hypo type symptoms for decades but have been very unwell for the last 10 years. I have long suspected thyroid issues being a part of it. I had a diagnosis of M.E. in 2021 but likely would have had one earlier if I had gone to GP's. I am mostly home bound often bed/sofa bound.

This protocol works for me
After thirteen months, my NAGALASE count .95 is in the high normal range and my final weekly Vit C/ hydrogen peroxide infusion was yesterday. I'll continue the Clioquinol +50mg zinc, 1000mg myomin, 5mg copper, 500mg quercetin 7/7 and 20mg Ivermectin 5/7 until Nag count gets to .5. NAGALASE is an enzyme

Hassles With GP Receptionist over B12 Jab
I just wondered if anyone else experienced this. I used to get a B12 jab every 3 months but this was changed due to the fact that in the run up to my next jab I get neuro symptoms, twitching legs, muscle twitches, and the pins and needles in my hands and feet which are always present, get worse. So now

B12 sublingual advice
Hi, I was wondering if I could have some advice on sublingual B12. I know that most say injections are the only option for absorption issues but I really don't want another injection after a bad reaction. I know people say to get through the reversing out symptoms but I never had low B12 symptoms
