Could This Be Thyroid?
I know what you're going to say... do these tests and just wait and see... I'm very anxious with symptoms right now and just looking for some thoughts. Although I am currently awaiting investigations into what I'm fearful might be a liver or pancreas problem (you know what I'm saying), I'm hoping some

How often to Self Inject
Hello all. I was just wondering what you all think about how often we should inject with Vit B12. I had been taking shots since about last Dec of 22, but even though it helped, didn't help much. So after finally being diagnosed with PA, I told my wife to inject me every day for 30 days to sort of give

(update) B12, Peripheral Neuropathy, oh and Ozempic...
A few months back I seemed to be 'overdosing' on the B12 injections (I was peeing it straight back out at one point!), so I stopped injecting and things were going okay. But now the past few weeks I'm back to low/no energy, bumping into things, knocking things over, Brain Fog, and incontinence struck

Seeking reassurance on fatigue and recovery
Hi everyone, I've been managing a rollercoaster of symptoms lately and wanted to see if anyone has experienced something similar.
Onset
: Since December 2022, I had recurring, short episodes of fatigue. About once every month, I would feel it coming on (almost like a cold, but with no sinus/respiratory

It happens when my body is stressed both eustress and stress. I have noticed it in others. I can often tell that a person is

Levo being reduced, but feeling under medicated.
Hi, I would greatly appreciate some input on my test results! I have been hypothyroid for over 17 years, and have always adhered unquestioningly to the doctorās guidance, assuming that they were doing all they could. Having found this site, however, I am starting to wonder if there is more that can

3 am protocol for T3, please tell me about it?
Please could you tell me what I need to know about the 3 am protocol for T3? Does there need to be a gradual transition from split dosing? Anything else I should know? I have been on T3 only for some years and recently have been very tired and depressed, for me the usual symptoms of being hypo. T3

Do I need to increase folic acid/folate intake with B12 shots?
Hello all, I am within one week of taking daily b12 injections as a loading dose. A group on Facebook advise a protocol of taking 5mg of folic acid daily as it is a cofactor for b12. I get that part but Iām checking whether itās necessary to take such a high amount of folic acid if, prior to starting

Alcohol and B12/folate deficiency
Just wondering if any of you lovely people avoid alcohol? I haven't felt much like drinking recently but when I have, I feel absolutely awful the next day. Just wondering if it's just extra pressure on the body that makes me feel bad or if there's a proven connection I haven't come across yet? Thanks

Do people on here have hypothyroidism or CFS?
I recovered from ME/CFS a while ago although I did have one period where I had myclonic jerks at night along with fatigue which seemed to go away when I took B12 supplements even though my B12 was in the low normal range (350 or somehting like that it was and the low range was 190). ANyway, I am wondering

Best time for a blood test?
Hi all, I've ordered a comprehensive blood test from Medichecks, as I've been working on my ferritin levels amongst other things. (Obviously, I'll be ignoring the inevitable out of range B12 result! š) Problem is, I had a mild tummy bug 3 days ago. My bloods appointment is for a week after this,
