Low iron levels
My doctor has advised me that my iron level is on the low side of the normal range. Should I take iron supplements to boost it as my doctor is happy to leave the levels as they are.

Memory problems diagnostic process
I came across an article I thought was interesting and am sharing it here. It's from the Mayo Clinic Proceedings (US, same journal as the Many Faces of Cobalamin Deficiency article. They call the symptoms "forgetfulness" problems, but they seem closely related to the word-finding problems experienced

Vitamin b12 vitamin b9 anaemia
Hi everyone, i hope you are all doing well. I was diagnosed with pernicious anaemia in 2013 and was having B12 injections every month. A few years ago my GP surgery had a change in management and a new GP changed my injections to every 3 months. Last year i was having bloods done (for a different reason

Time to buy more B12
Up to date info required regarding purchase of B12 ampoules, please. I hate self injecting and normally inject 1mg x 1ml into each arm (so 2mg a week) to get it over with. Used Rotexmedica but can now only find Hervert on Amazon.de. I have read somewhere that Hervert are 1mg x 2ml and this is too much

Methotrexate in the US
Since our Supreme Court has removed Roe v Wade allowing abortion something has happened that most did not expect. Women of reproctive age are being denied their methotrexate that they've been taking for years as a treatment for things like RA because it is also a drug used in abortions. I know that most

How to proceed after Abnormal blood results as my GP refuses to investigate the cause?
I recently received blood results showing an abnormally High Eosinophil count but upon bringing this up to my GP I was told they’re not gonna investigate it as it is apparently irrelevant to my symptoms even though my symptoms seem to match to Eosinophilia, I know it could be a possible link to RA which

Autoimmune gastritis Vs AMAG/PA
https://pernicious-anaemia-society.org/b12deficiencyandperniciousanaemia/ This first article describes one cause of B12 deficiency (other than PA) as gastritis that is 'where the patient produces antibodies that destroy either the Parietal Cells or Intrinsic Factor or both.' So is this very much different

Does it need to take Glutathione supplement for people on cyanocobalamin injection?
There are articles claiming cyanocobalamin depletes methionine because of high demand if methylation process and just small fraction converts to usable form of B12. Please share your information

B12 Self Administration
Hi there, I self injected B12 for the first time ever today. I did a intramuscular injection into my thigh but I think I did it a bit too high up on my thigh. Is this likely to be an issue? Should I be worried? I'm overthinking I'm pretty sure, first injection and all that!

Strange iron panel results (part 2!)
I posted several weeks ago about an anomaly in my 18 year old daughter's ferritin results and received some really helpful advice from @humanbean and others. Her ferritin level from a Medichecks blood test was 75, however when her GP tested it a few weeks later it was just 15.4 and her Haemoglobin was

Confused about seeds!
Can anyone please tell me if seeds are good or bad for under active thyroid? I’m so confused as I have been reading that they are really great for you and then the next article tells me that they are really bad for you? I have a cupboard full of chai, linseed, pumpkin, sunflower seeds etc! Help!

Who knows about ferritin/ iron tests? Confused here! Do I need to do something? Help please!
I get confused with ferritin and iron results, as I can't remember how they work together. Ferritin is low, but haemoglobin is ok? My GP marked everything 'normal'. I'd be grateful for some explanation and advice on what to do please! I have felt more tired. In fact absolutely exhausted a couple of

Why cyanocobalamin injection is more helpful than hydroxocobalamin?
I inject cyanocobalamin three times a week and two times hydroxocobalamin a week. I feel difference between then but I think day after cyanocobalamin I feel less symptoms than days with hydroxocobalamin. So why cyanocobalamin injection is nit considered preferably better choice. I tried many cyanocobalamin

Rapid responses to daily subcutaneous B12 injections??
I was diagnosed with pernicious anemia and iron deficiency anemia 3 months ago. (I’ve had 2 iron infusions so those levels are better now.) The B12 injections are extraordinarily helpful. I’ve been getting them subcutaneously on a daily basis. (I can’t tell any difference between subcutaneous and intramuscular

Iron advice for my sister
Though you guys might be the best to ask. What is the best iron supplement going? My sister needed 2 iron infusions before surgery and could only get one due to poor veins. She needs an iron supplement and I said I would get it for her. I want her to have the one that will be most beneficial to her..

MIN-102 update: summer 2022
Hi everyone, I am persisting with the min-102 trial and yesterday had my 10th visit. Nothing particularly different about the visit: the usual 6 minute walking and balance trials, the annual MRI scan and echocardiogram and the questionnaires and meeting with a specialist. What I did learn is that Minoryx
