Hashimotos for Sixteen Years, Realizing I Know Next to Nothing
This is a long story, and as with so much in this "we have too much info" age, I'm probably over-responding, but, I was recently blindsided by a new health condition, and I don't fancy having it happen again if there are cues available. I've had hypothyroidism/Hashimotos for 16-17 years, at least based

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

Switching from Levothyroxine to Liothyronine
Hello, I hope everyone is well. I haven’t written on here for a while as I’ve been feeling quite well so hope you don’t mind me coming back to you now. Although I feel good on my current dose of thyroxine and definitely don’t feel I’m taking too much, my endocrinologist wants to lower my thyroxine

Latest thyroid test results
Hi everyone, After being underdosed on 25mcg of Levothyroxine for almost a decade, my new GP increased my dose to 50mcg around 6 months ago. The increase was done slowly over 6 weeks, as advised by people in this group. I had some blood tests done two days ago and today I got a message from the GP saying

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

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

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.
