B12 problems?
I don't know what your symptoms are but I was vitamin b12 deficient with a similar reading and I had the symptoms of tingling and wierd dizziness among others. Despite this I was told it was fine as within normal limits. It is a large range and stands to reason that that reading can be low for some

Besremi working well- 150 mcg every month instead of bi-weekly
So, my WBC, RBC, HCT, and hemoglobin went down below the range for a couple of months. Instead of lowering the dose, the haematologist advised me to keep the 150 mcg dose but inject it every month instead of bi-weekly. My latest CBC and CMP show that all blood counts/parameters except hemoglobin were

⁸Low Haemoglobin
My latest blood test showed low haemoglobin so my GP ordered a whole raft of additional tests to check B12, thyroid, etc as well as a stool test to check for internal bleeding. Stool test negative. Other test results outstanding. Could end up having the up AND down camera tests! Been reading all I can

High Eosinophils
I'd be interested to hear if others that have been diagnosed with autoimmune gastritis/PA and/or Hashimoto's Thyroiditis have consistently higher than normal Eosinophils in their blood test results. Just curious. Rexz

Intrinsic factor antibodys
Hi I recently had bloods done at GP which one of them was b12. It came back as no action required but I told GP that I think it still to low at 211.. range (180-800) she said about doing another test that might effect the absorbtion of b12 intrinsic factor antibody. My result was 3.66. was prescribed

SC in Australia
Hi everyone,I've got a packet of B12 (I'm in Australia and it's the Neo brand) and I'm thinking of injecting it SC. The problem is it says 'for IM use only'. It's hydroxocobalamin chloride 1mg in 1mL and the other ingredients are sodium chloride, water and acetic acid. Does anyone know if this sort

Immune Responses + Autoimmune Myelofibrosis
There were some posts a few weeks ago on adverse immune responses after vaccination for people using interferons. I had this experience while transitioning form HU to Peg, firstly with a covid jab last December and secondly with the first of the Shingrix jabs in March, which triggered, at the very least

Correct me if I am wrong. Please
There are four forms of cobalamin commercially available for injection. Cynocabalamin which in tests of a non cobalamin deficient human has been tested for retention times. There is no comparative testing of the efficacy of Cynocabalamin versus other forms including no test of the effect on symptoms

Buprenorphine and stomach pain
Over the past 2 mths I have developed severe stomach and bowel pain. I suspect I may be suffering from opioid induced bowel dysfunction?? Other more serious causes have been ruled out. Also have poor appetite. It has taken me 25years to find something that relieves my RLS, am terrified now regarding

Why don’t I notice an increase in energy? Have had three b12 injections.

Correctly written prescription...do they exist? 🫤
My pharmacist requested that I get my prescription altered to state Vencamil now that Aristo has been dropped by Alliance to stave of future confusion ( it currently mentions both)... I did say that I had tried in the past to get it named but they say that they can't... So I spoke with the Surgery and

interesting find
has anyone tried grass fed beef liver supplements. I’m wondering if these freeze dried capsules would be beneficial because of the vitamins and minerals in them as I don't seem to be able to keep my levels of anything up without supplementing. As soon as I stop they seem to drop again quite quickly ,
