MRI,

,Lyme,brain scan. After more testing, one Dr. checked my B12 level, it was 80. I spent 10 days in the u and 10 days in rehab. They were not sure if I would recover. U untreated, B12 deficiency can cause permanent brain damage. I was lucky, everything reversed.

Sacroiliac area and groin pain ( I cannot lie down or sit)
Hello, I put off going to bed until I am utterly exhausted as I cannot lie down, sitting is equally painful and limits the distance I can travel. I have had so many nerve blocks and a denervation's that I have lost count. The GP prescribes Tramadol which does not help at all and I am on an anti inflammatory

Hi, I've just found this site and thought I might be able to get some advice. I'm 21years old and female. In October 2014 I found out I had a fracture in my left wrist that got missed for 5 years as well as a TFCC tear. I had surgery last year to repair the fracture and ligament and thought I was doing

Iodine Supplementation
I know that this topic has come up often but I still see no definitive answers on the specific question of supplementing with iodine whilst taking NDT, Iodine insufficiency presents very similar symptoms to hypothyroid. Just a few weeks ago I started on WP NDT, i'm up to 2 x 0.5 grain/day and not noticed
