It has never been a problem previously but two blood tests in the last year (since starting levothyroxine) have shown a low

Daily multivitamins do not help people live longer, major study finds
The taking of general multivitamins has long been questioned here on this forum. The article specifically identifies iron: [i]Meanwhile iron, which is added to many multivitamins, can lead to iron overload and raise the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and dementia.[/i] I think we'd also advocate

Folate/Folic acid supplement
I have been using Folic Acid 5mg oral supplement EOD since starting b12 injections just over three weeks ago. I was getting some loose bowel, so was advised to try Methylfolate every day instead. However I am wondering if I should be using injectable Folic 5mg instead. My problem is malabsorption due

Serum parathyroid hormone
Finally, after a year of the labs refusing to test Vit D, I finally had it tested, and as suspected, it was below the bottom of the scale - 23. So back on tablets and spray, and hopefully my leg muscles will start working again... The lab refusing to test has made me ill...grumble, grumble. Anyway
