Just need some advice on self injecting.
Just need to come up with a safe plan for what to do about my B12 injections. After several years of symptoms like chronic fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, pins and needles, sore lips, dry skin, breathlessness etc I was finally diagnosed with a B12 deficiency in 2011. My B12 level was 154. By this

Another question: did anyone have all their joints crunching, clicking, and sore when their b12 dropped into deficiency range?
Another question: did anyone have all their joints crunching, clicking, and sore when their b12 dropped into deficiency range? My joints in my spine, and hips, shoulder, especially. They click and crunch since I dipped into serious neuro symptoms when b12 likely tanked last September. I also had genitourinary

B12 Deficiency
I have Peripheral Neuropathy and am being treated for B12 deficiency. Having just completed an 8 week course of tablets I am awaiting results of a blood test. My symptoms of tingling feet have eased very slightly...they are not so angry. Does anyone know how long it takes for B12 to take full effect?

Update: opinions please
Juat been told I have liw vitamin D.Could this be a reason my b12 was also low? I've read low vit D can effect B12 absorbtion. Is that correct?

My 3 Arrows Heme Iron has finally arrived! How do I dose it?
It seemed to take a long time to arrive. But it's finally here. At my last blood test my iron was low, not deficient and not low enough for a doctor to comment. But lower than I want and I struggle to keep Ferritin half decent. I've never had good Ferritin. So how do you take your 3 Arrows Heme

Iron deficiency
Hello I’m asking a question with regards to low ferritin levels (17.4). I’m confused whether I should be prescribed folic acid or iron?!

Iron low
Hello, I just got back my blood work test and the iron read a little low, so I was wondering if anyone else here on the panel with pernicious anemia has had low iron. My iron binding is within range. Iron level is in range but iron percent transferring saturation is reading slightly low

B12 Deficiency
Firstly I have it myself and due well on regular injections, however it is very poorly diagnosed and managed in this country, patients popped onto pills when they should be having jabs. 1. https://pernicious-anaemia-society.org/articles/nice-cks-b12-deficiency/#:~:text=Initially%20administer%20hydroxocobalamin

Could it be B12 deficiency?
I have been guided to this forum from Thyroid Uk and I’m hoping that, with your help, I can make sense of the fatigue and weakness I have been experiencing. In October last year I experienced what I can only describe as a crash. I am normally fit and active and had a lovely summer with many trips camping

Fatigue
Good Day Everyone My question is, should I be feeling fatigued with lymphocytes around 43 and haemoglobin at 12.1 g/dl or could the fatigue be caused by some other blood deficiency such as iron or vitamin B12. Thanks very much Ken

I had heard that some of you were looking for me. I have not been on too much these past few months as I had completely crashed, completely non-functional, with a severe case of iron deficiency. I apologize for not posting what was going on with me sooner. But the severe, severe fatigue just did

Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms

Advice moving forward?
So I recently had blood tests that showed low b12, iron and vit D. Was prescribed tablets for the iron and vit D. And put on a course of B12 loading doses. 6 injections over 2 weeks. it's now been 2 weeks after the last b12 injection and none of my symptoms have improved. When I talked to the gp,

Any correlation between antipsychotic discontinuation and b12 absorption or deficiency?
Hi, has anyone ever had experience of b12 deficiency symptoms after antipsychotic withdrawal/discontinuation, & more specifically Aripiprazole (Abilify)? I am still awaiting b12 deficiency test results, but I wonder if discontinuation has resulted b12 deficiency symptoms & creating a false normal?
