Active B12 levels
I read that : The normal range for active vitamin B12 (holoTC) is around 20 – 134 pmol/L (picomoles per My recent blood test states my active B12 level is 83.2pmol/L but states this is optimal. (medichecks) Do I need to supplement this?

Can it still be B12 deficiency?
I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency and I have been on cyanocobalamin injection for more than a year now. I still have neuropathic symptoms, fatigue, lethargy and sleeplessness. Can anyone who had such experience advise me.

NAC with ferritin deficiency or PA
Hi all. Just thought I’d pop in and ask my new friends if they know of any reason NAC shouldn’t be taken with iron tablets or B12, or whether NAC could actually have a negative effect on ferritin/B12 levels. Can’t find any info on this, so here I am 😊 I am awaiting latest blood results, so don’t

Generic B12-symptoms news article
Occasionally I see what I call a generic news article on issues pertaining to B12 deficiency. Typically the articles are not very good, misrepresenting some things, wrong about other things, and so forth. So I was surprised today when I saw one that is not so bad. Sure, it could be better, could be more

Seems to me.
Not a medic nor have the ability to do that job. Seems to me there is no such thing as B12 deficiency without neurological effects. Most notably fatigue. It seems that neurological symptoms are only considered if peripheral neuropathy is experienced. This does not seem credible to me. Seems to me

I have RLS and recently updated iron labs revealed the following: Ferritin=59.2ng/mL & Transferrin Saturation = 53%.
I have been taking oral iron supplements (Iron sulfate 325mg) and Vitamin C 200 mg daily on an empty stomach but the ferritin has been going up but slowly but the transferrin saturation has gone up much higher. Should I continue with my iron supplements?

Hi everyone. Some of you may have come across one of my posts this week and may have interacted, but if not, hi 😊 I’ve been going through a lot of the posts on here looking for answers to my query before I post this, but haven’t seen anything that covers it. Is there anybody here that has suffered

Oral B12
So i am fully aware that those of us with PA don't absorb b12 through our diets, and that we ideally require treatment through IM injections. But i have also seen articles that suggest that it is at least 'possible' to get 'some' b12 from oral supplements. What do we think about this? I have copied in

Hi, I've posted about Care Opinion before but look every now and then to see if any stories have been posted about B12 deficiency. They want people to share good and bad experiences of health care in UK. Sometimes the GP surgeries

Active B12 blood result.
A friend’s ‘Active’ Vitamin B12 blood test result has fallen within the lower quarter of the Active B12 blood range. Anyone have any good advice please.

b12 injections making me worse
Hi, My bloods came back as having a serum b12 of 73 so my doctor started me on b12 injections. I have had 3 out of 6 so far, but instead of feeling better my symptoms seem to be getting worse. I can't think straight and missed my 4th b12 injection today because I thought it was at a different time

Vitamin D and Dementia
Vitamin D is a topic that gets a regular airing on this forum. In the context of CLL, here is a good place to review past posts https://healthunlocked.com/cllsupport/posts/149126536/recent-research-report?responses=149129259 (reply by Lankisterguy). Personally, the idea of dying with CLL just doesn't

I was diagnosed with a B12 deficiency. I'm recovering from covid it's been 3 weeks. Not sure if the covid knocked my B12 down. I had first injection today. I woke up out of my sleep my body burning and dry month. I had that feeling first week of covid it went away. Now I'm not sure if the B12 is fighting
