B12 Deficiency
I have Peripheral Neuropathy and am being treated for B12 deficiency. Having just completed an 8 week course of tablets I am awaiting results of a blood test. My symptoms of tingling feet have eased very slightly...they are not so angry. Does anyone know how long it takes for B12 to take full effect?

Fissure or fistula
For the last few weeks I have been getting stabbing pains up the rear exit. Like I sat on a needle!! I used to suffer a lot with piles but not bled for about a year now. But today after large bm I bled! What concerns me is I should be having a camera look at my bladder on Saturday under local anaesthetic

THC/ Cannabis having Curative Effects for PC???
Ran across this study: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7503992/ But is there any proof that THC helps to cure PC or lower PSA? I believe it’s used for pain relief, but are its benefits been proven beyond that? Thank you very much.

Awful chronic nausea
I have had PMR for over 11years and still on 11mgs. I have never been pain free. This morning I had a gastroscopy because I have been suffering worsening nausea over the last 18 months or so. At first I didn’t realise it was all connected because it came and went. Now it is daily and has been making

Non small cell carcinoma in lung.
I have recently been diagnosed with non small cell carcinoma of the lung by the Royal Brompton. They sent a letter to my GP requesting an urgent 2 week referral to local oncology, GP surgery said they hadn't received the part of the letter asking for the referral. I emailed them a copy as they requested

Could use encouragement - Depressed and Anxious, New Medication offered by Psychiatrist - It’s been a Hot Minute
I haven’t posted in a while, nor responded to people, but I could really use some encouragement. Sorry! I’m very depressed and anxious these days, SADD getting to me. My psychiatrist has offered a nasal spray 2x a week for 8 weeks that will work for up to five years to decrease depression. I’m waiting

B12 sublingual
Hi, I suppose this has been addressed before, but....Is there any reason not to take sublingual B12 around the same time as ndt? Usually I space the sublingual B12 a couple hours away from ndt but figured the B12 is bypassing the digestive system & the ndt is not. My TSH, FT4&3 are all good. Since

Folic Acid does not cause PA
I saw this article with responses about the consumption of folic acid. What do people think about the responses? Especially the one who says that there shouldn't be a limit to the amount of folic acid taken. https://www.bmj.com/content/329/7479/1376/rapid-responses I have been taking 5mg folic acid

Back Pain after Chemo?
My wife recently started IV Carboplatin and she’s experienced excruciating lower back and hip pain for the first few days after her treatment (AUC6 dosing, once every 3 weeks). She has numerous pelvic metastases as well as chronic stenosis in her lower back. We’re struggling to try to determine whether

My 3 Arrows Heme Iron has finally arrived! How do I dose it?
It seemed to take a long time to arrive. But it's finally here. At my last blood test my iron was low, not deficient and not low enough for a doctor to comment. But lower than I want and I struggle to keep Ferritin half decent. I've never had good Ferritin. So how do you take your 3 Arrows Heme
