B12 deficiency treated before folate deficiency
Please could someone post a link supporting the importance of this fact for PhonixGrace . Explaining B12 and folate are tested together normally for a good reason. If folate is supplemented before B12 . The b12 deficiency can be masked/ missed. Nerve/neurological damage can occur . Once B12 injections

Is serum folate levels the level of b12?
I received this as a blood result 3 weeks after receiving my b12 injection but I am confused. Does this tell me the level of b12 in my blood or folate? There are no other test results that refer to b12. I am currently suffering very badly with the symptoms of low b12 despite having my 3 monthly injections

Can you have too much vitamin B12?
My blood levels of vitamin B12 are sky high after I took the injections for almost a year. I don't feel bad or anything just when I did the test at the private lab I was surprised with my result. I stopped with injections but would like to know can too much vitamin B12 cause any health problems? Thanks

Peripheral neuropathy and neurology's response
Hi. I've posted a couple of times recently so I'll start with a precise and then my ask! I was diagnosed with Vitamin B12 deficiency in 2015 - I wasn't tested for PA.

Multi vitamins - at last some recognition
While
vitamin

mineral
deficiencies
weren’t widespread in the healthy subjects that took part in the study, the researchers still found multivitamins to be worthwhile, explaining: “The use of MV/MM supplements can improve or prevent declines in the status of several vitamins and may prevent declines

B12 Side effects
At my last blood take the Serum & Folate B12 reading was 278 ng/L and have been prescribed Cyanoco B12 100mcg tablets one per day Since taking B12 my skin has been alive with irritation, in particular my back - is this usual?

Iron supplementation
Hi I have Hashimoto's - as yet untreated due to fluctuating TSH levels. My symptoms are numerous, and due to low levels of B12 and vitamin D, I am supplementing those. I am gluten Soy and Dairy free. My ferritin has been historically low and the GPs have frequently me prescribed Ferrous Fumarate.

Can PA antibodies be reversed??
I’m back again and another complaint about a professional’s lack of knowledge in PA. Today I had a consultation with a naturopath whom I have been seeing since July. She wanted to discuss my B12 injection regimen. In her professional opinion, she believes that as the gut healing process I’m currently

Too much B12??
Can high serum and active B12 levels (above recommended levels) cause the nerve damage? I recently had to visit my GP clinic and couldn’t get my favourite doctor so, agreed to seeing another doctor. Upon looking at my file he was shocked to see my apparently ‘very high B12’ results. In his opinion, too

Iron levels normal
If my iron levels are within range is there any chance taking an iron supplement would be beneficial? I know too much is dangerous. Sorry if answer is obvious, but I'm desperate.

Gabapentin and Oral Iron
When taking iron supplements on alternate days (iron bisglycinate 25mg) and using gabapentin nightly, how far apart should the iron and gabapentin doses be on the days that I take the iron?
