B12 injections
I was diagnosed with PA in my 30s. Quite a shock. I was on injections until last year when I was 70. I was told by my PCP that sublingual B12 would work. My last bloodwork indicated my B12 levels were off the charts. I've never, ever had high B12 results. I'm wondering if it could have been a mistake

B12 Deficiency Video
This video does not address the need for B12 injections, it just recommends oral supplementation but I still thought it was interesting https://nutritionfacts.org/video/friday-favorites-the-symptoms-of-vitamin-b12-deficiency-and-optimal-dosage-for-adults/?utm_source=NutritionFacts.org&utm_campaign=22b90fcb7d-RSS_VIDEO_WEEKLY

High iron / low ferritin, advice on B12 and folate levels - results in pics
Hi, I’ve had some great comments and links from members to my last post on my iron panel results. It was suggested that I share my B12 and Folate levels. I’ve puts pics of these in comments first ones from May and second from this month. I want to raise ferritin levels but given iron levels I shouldn

Nees help
i’m a 43-year-old guy who’s been diagnosed with Parkinson’s for five years. The meds for Parkinson sort of help. I’ve tried lots and lots of things, but the thing that made me feel the very best was B12. I think I have pernicious, anemia and Parkinson’s. I also have a very low B2 levels. If I don’t

Newbie and confused. Functional B12 deficiency?
Hi everyone, I am new here but I have been a member of the thyroid forum for many years. I've also just joined the Sjogren's and the lupus groups because some of my symptoms could be attributed to these though I have no diagnoses, and the Changing Faces group for my rhinophyma. I have Hashi's and thyroid

b12 whilst breastfeeding
I’m spinning out a bit about this and would really appreciate any responses. I have a b12 deficiency issue which predates my pregnancy. After a battle some years ago, I am treated with b12 injections every 8 weeks. I am now 15 weeks postpartum and exclusively breastfeeding my baby. Over the last week

Low levels of iron good for us?
Hey, folks, been coming across articles talking about how our bad cells crave iron and in fact can cause iron deficiencies by using it up. Many supplements are iron chelators, including turmeric. Anyway, just got iron results back and they are on the very low end of normal. And I am thinking this

Vitamin A - retinol.
Dr. John Campbell posted a video about how low vitamin A (retinol) levels predispose a person to experience pneumonia from the Mycoplasm pneumoniae which is currently at near epidemic levels among children in northern China. No surprise here to be honest considering the severe lockdowns. Children have

Hi everyone! First of all, I have to say thank you. This is my first time posting, but I've been lurking around here for a while now and I have already learnt so much from this forum! I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in Nov 2021 and put on 25mcg levothyroxine. It has been a slow battle to get doctors

Taking B12 with Hypothyroidism
Good morning. A question on B12… I am considering taking a higher dose of B12 (I currently take 1microgram per day in my ordinary multivitamins) but am concerned about combining it with Levothyroxine. I was prompted by this Times article by Dr Mark Porter to consider it. Vitamin B12 deficiency is

Tension or anxiety or overthinking headaches
Hi! I have been struggling with these tension (anxiety or overthinking) headaches also. Paracetamol, flunarizine, inderal none of them seem to work. Only benzos work but cannot take them as you know. The more I overthink the more I get headache. Meditation and distracting seems to work but all are temporary

B12 and ECG
Has anyone ever had a B12 injection while hooked up to a full 12-lead (or whatever) ECG machine? Did it cause any detectable changes that seems directly due to the B12?

Vitamin B12 status in health and disease: a critical review. Diagnosis of deficiency and insufficiency – clinical and laboratory pitfalls
This is an extraordinary thorough review of B12 deficiency and B12 insufficiency, with an actual description of the difference, including severity of symptoms. One interesting factoid is quoted here: "In 1900, Russell noted characteristics of B12 deficiency that are overlooked with surprising frequency

Vitamin B12 deficiency from the perspective of a practicing hematologist
I feel this article contains many bits of information that often pop up on this forum, and explains them quite thoroughly and clearly. At the end is a statement that is relevant to most people on this forum, and I quote that statement: "It should be noted that patients with pernicious anemia at times
