More on D3 supplementation (only if you're really into it)
This may be a bit boring, as well as off-topic; but I was curious; so I looked up a bit more on how much to supplement vitamin D, so as to get the benefits and still be on the safe side.
What's recommended?

How soon can I re-test folate levels?
After getting a low folate blood test, I have changed my diet to greatly increase folate intake (can't tolerate any folate supplement). How soon can I take another blood test to see if my levels have come up? It has been 3 weeks since I changed my diet.

Looking for vitamin C infusions in Perth, Western Australia without glutathione?
Dear all Vitamin C infusions were tremendously helpful for my Dad in 2017 when he was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer and underwent a prostatectomy, chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Now trying to find them again. Those I have found include glutathione which I think is not good with cancer.

Overcoming anxiety about going out
Since I started on immunotherapy in January, I've had a few setbacks. I've had episodes of really bad pain - diverticulitis, I've had to have fluid drained from my lung and around my heart - both made me feel very unwell. I now have atrial fibrilation which seems to be a side issue of lung cancer

Painful indigestion
I have pernicious anaemia treated with vit b12 injections. Prior to being diagnosed I suffered with terrible indigestion and the usual meds, like gaviscon, windeze, omprezole did nothing to alleviate it. Since starting the b12 injections the indigestion is less frequent but still very painful and wakes

Diarrhoea can be a symptom of vitamin B12 deficiency!
So if you get these other symptoms or a number of them as well, it's worth getting your B12 checked out with a doctor. The symptoms are: *Rapid breathing or shortness of breath *Headaches *Indigestion *Loss of appetite *Palpitations *Vision problems *Weakness and/or tiredness

Can't use Panpharma 😫
Although I'm prescribed B12 ampoules via my gp, I can only use certain brands without agonising stinging and burning. My local pharmacy hasn't been able to source anything for over a month. It's the added sodium acrylate that I react to. Decided to order online and I thought I'd thoroughly researched
