recommendations for iron supplement
me again! You’re all such a lovely and knowledgeable lot! After my last post I’m still not sure what to do about my low iron. It showed up in my last blood test with my GP and he prescribed Ferrous Fumerate 210 mg but I felt so ill on them. Nausea and diarreah! Any suggestions please? I know I’m 79

Good sats - so why so breathless?
THAT is indeed the question. Why, with my peripheral O2 levels at 94/5 %even 96% am I still fighting to breath? It goes like this. I wake short of breath. I rise and take my Oximeter (I have several; they all show the same) . My level is, say 92%. I do controlled breathing using a computer monitor

Update for my daughter re loading injections. and the rest.
My daughter has her appt with GP yesterday - she's 19 and although I was planning to go, had to agree when she said she wanted to do it on her own. Which I regretted! Here is the earlier thread which contains her results etc.: https://healthunlocked.com/pasoc/posts/149760385/daughter-starting-b12-

Next steps/where to get active b12 test?
Quick background: B12 deficiency (152) in 2017, negative IFAB, received 2x 3 monthly injections then taken off them. Investigating various symptoms now, recent bloods show drop in B12 from December 2022 (455) to now (206). Doctor saying I just need to take a multivitamin with B12 in, but I am not convinced

B12D bloods show positive TPOAb
Hi Guys A few weeks ago, I posted concern over hubby's bloods when GP said all was fine. To cut a long, and sadly not unfamiliar story to you short, I managed to get him to see a private consultant who identified at least 3 other long term health niggles associated with B12D. Hubby is now on SI treatment

Vitamin Levels Tested- advice please.
Hi there,I recently had my vitamin levels taken, as despite taking levothyroxine and T3 I am still feeling extremely tired, have hair loss, weight gain and lack of concentration. I wondered if it might be my vitamins. The results were: B12 & Folate Serum vitamin B12: 932 ng/L (180- 770) Serum folate

If your doctor worries that too much B12 is toxic, show them this study on ALS & B12
ALS is the same as Lou Gehrig's disease, and is also what Stephen Hawking had. It is a neurodegenerative disease, thought to mostly affect the motor neurons. Ryosuke Oki, et al, "Efficacy and Safety of Ultrahigh-Dose Methylcobalamin in Early-Stage Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis" JAMA Neurol. 2022;

Getting older with ss
I'm in my 40's now and I have fewer pain crisis then I had when I was younger. You'd think things would get easier because of this but it isn't. Now I'm dealing with a lot of health problems that sickle cell caused or exacerbated. Like heart problems (which I take meds for), a bad hip (which I had replaced

How do I start on self injecting?
I have been on B12 injections for years, but since covid they don't last. I get mine every 8 weeks, but symptoms return after only one week now and get progressively worse, tremors, ataxia, severe pain in spine.... but GP refuses injections more frequently. How do I go about self injecting, where do

How often to Self Inject
Hello all. I was just wondering what you all think about how often we should inject with Vit B12. I had been taking shots since about last Dec of 22, but even though it helped, didn't help much. So after finally being diagnosed with PA, I told my wife to inject me every day for 30 days to sort of give

Not anemia? Lab results question.
It's been a couple months since my last iron infusion. Last week, I had labs drawn, and results included: [H] WBC (18.1), RDW (16.4), Platelets (614), Creatinine (1.04); [L] MCH (24.1), MCHC (30.5), Iron (22); [LL] Iron Saturation (7). Hemoglobin was just within normal range at 11.2, and

blood results and one mthfr variant - help please 🙏
Hi I have been trying to get my head around all of this and I find it very confusing. Can anyone give their honest opinion on my vitamin levels. I am about to start b12 injections and believe because I carry one mthfr variant I need to take methyl folate. I really struggle with vitamin d also.

low ferratin
Afternoon all looking for some more advice. As previously said been feeling feeling terrible for about a year. Doctors thought that it was my low folate as my level was low. Got that level up to late teens and my b12 is high nearly 1500. my ferratin is 29 which is on the low side but my iron study

B12 deficiency, macrocytosis, and potassium drop
I have macrocytic anemia. My MCV for the past 7 years has hovered around 100. I had one good result of 93 and that was 3 months after getting loading shots of Cyanocobalamin when I was first diagnosed with B12 deficiency over a year ago. My doctor stopped my shots after that and I took only sublingual

frustrating!!
so I posted my sons blood results being concerned over his very low active b12 and having to wait weeks for an appointment with Gp. Finally seen Gp who question the private bloods and ordered her own. She tested for pernicious anaemia apparently. Other blood results have returned and are Ferritin
