Injections stopped.
I was noticeably improved feeling good, after 21 weeks of EOD SI. Then I had antibiotics for a water infection, Nitrofurantoin.By day 3 of antibiotics I began to feel off. Mouth coated with something, (thrush) eyes not good, headaches, nervous, limping a bit, hot spark-like tingling, tired on waking.

New Pernicious Anemia diagnosis
Hi Everyone,In a sleepy state here, getting no response from my GP, my next NHS B12 injection due on 1st September. What do you wish you'd know sooner? What can I be doing to help myself get out from under the duvet and the cat? I can't seem to think beyond basic single tasks. Everything is so overwhelming

Vitamin B1
I read that if you have RLS you might be short of vitamin B1. Has anyone knowledge of this.

Supplimenting Vit B12 and Folate - how much?
Hello,My recent blood test shows: Ferritin 107ug/l (30-250) B12 377ng/l (200-900) Folate 4.7ug/l (3-20.50) (they forgot to test for Thyroid, so I have got to book in again for that...) I have checked previous messages and think that my Folate is low and B12 could be improved. There are supplements

JUVIA - anyone any experience?
Hi Guys In a nutshell, gut issues mean if I eat more than once a day I get IBS symptoms, starts with severe groin cramps, then bloating, then diarrhoea etc. Been like this for over a year now. I cope by drinking kefir all day then a meal after 6 pm when I can eat ANYTHING without any problems at

Blood Test Results.
Some of you will remember it took me a month to get blood test results because in the first instance the Doc who arranged them wanted to give me the results. Made about 3 appointments which were cancelled because he changed his working days or whatever so eventually decided that just to get the results

Is it OK to take 2 different types of B1 at the same time? with HDT, B1 Therapy, etc.
I am currently having success with taking my sweet spot for TTFD (17.5mg) one day and my sweet spot for B1 hcl oral (1000mg) the next [Why both - TTFD elevates my mood* better than just B1 hcl oral]. Problem: I have a bad neck and I have to take more pain relievers on TTFD days. Which creates another

Advice needed - T3 levels
I was diagnosed with sub-clinical underactive thyroid in 2016. My test results were TSH 7.91 (0.27 - 4.2); T4 12.2 (12 - 22); T3 4.4 (3.1 - 6.8) I was started on 25 mcg Levo, which over the years has been titrated up to 112 mcg. I’ve been monitoring levels via private blood tests every 3-6 months

Help with next appointment following loading doses
Following a B12 of 194ng/L (187 - 883) in August, in Sept it was 208. MMA and Folate both “normal” but Homocysteine was slightly above range so I have been given 6 loading doses and daily Folic Acid. (I don’t have the actual results other than the B12). I didn’t have any really noticeable response

Am I going the wrong way? ⬇️
Morning lovely people, my GP lowered my Thyroxin to 75mg from 100mg a month ago in order to get my TSH levels up, which have barely moved in ten years and were at 0.01 for ages and ages. This happened after I was prescribed T3 by a specialist just over ten years ago who has now even struck off. I can

Private Blood Test Results
Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didn’t work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

Advice or any comments on latest numbers please 🙏
I had my blood drawn at 8:00 AM / 24 hours after last dosage of 125 Levothyroxine and 10 Liothyronine. All in one dose early in the morning - usually around 6:00 AM. With the assistance of the calculators I am: 50% through the reference range on T3 73.68% through the reference range on T4 -10.79%

Not a good day
Been very up and down lately. My recovery from my NSTEMI last November was going pretty well up till beginning of June. Was almost back to normal, well normal for me, and then I had an episode at rehab where I felt very giddy and my BP plummeted. After that it was chest pain on decreasing levels of exertion

Slow Covid Recovery
Hello, I am 21 days post Covid diagnosis and I am struggling to get back to normal. I am exhausted when I walk semi far distances. I have pressure in my head and my chest feels restricted. I am sure my history of afib is causing my recovery to take a bit longer. I had an ablation last March, so

The results are in, over to the judges.
I am a 59 year old, 74Kg male, with no other comorbidities except mild lifelong well controlled Asthma. The tests on 10/01/2024 where all taken using the guidance given here, of no levy for 24 hours prior and no food/drink ETC before the test. The previous tests may not have been in full compliance

Exercise and Low Thyroid: Am I doing more harm than good? Advice, please!
I would like to ask about having low thyroid levels and doing exercise. I have hypo symptoms, and blood tests show low FT3 and FT4, but normal TSH (for reference, last blood test results are below). So far, no doctor or endocrinologist thinks I have any thyroid issue. One of my symptoms has been unexplained

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
