Hello from USA. I was on Ropinpole for years - it stopped working so I stopped taking it. Luckily, I had no withdrawal effect at all. Then i was put on Pramapexole, Gabapentin & Clonzepan ( i also have major insomnia). That was about 3 yrs ago. Unfortunately, the RLS has decided to start up during

Trials and Tribulations.
I did a trial of 1.5 mg methylcobalamin 4 times a day and that was positive. I then increased physical activity and had 3 days of a downturn and recovered. I then reduced to .75 mg with no decline. I increased physical activity for three days and had a downturn. I then added .06 mg of methylcobalamin

I know this is an indicator of low b12 but it was getting lower and is now rising even though I am on daily b12 It isn't a huge difference but I am interested in why

Long time no see, a brief update from me and a daughter with a diagnosis…
Hello all! I don’t know if anyone will remember me as it’s been a few years since I last posted. I’ll try to keep my update brief (and positive) as it’s not regarding myself that I’m drawn back to this forum, although I may well start posting more about myself once I’m back into the swing of it! I expect

Further info on blood panel
Hello! I posted a couple of weeks back with some questions about low B12 investigations and was about to have a very full and detailed blood panel. I've got some further info from my blood tests. I don't have a copy yet, they're on the way, so I'll have to be vague about actual numbers for some of them

Wow, what a difference!
I've just had my 1st conversation with my new doctor. She started by saying that ".....your TSH is low, but that is explained by the fact that you're taking T4 & T3, so how do you feel?" She didn't know that T3 can now be prescribed again, but she does now. We had a sensible conversation and I'm going

Changing from Levo to NDT - dosing advice needed
Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice on dosing - switching from levothyroxine 75mcg to NDT (most probably ERFA or Thyroid S) but I've been advised by pennyannie that ERFA might be best as I have hashimotos. So what should I aim to be on with NDT? My vitamin levels are good as I supplement with Vit

Introducing myself
Hi, I'm new to the forum and thought I'd share a brief summary of how I ended up here. It's hard to say exactly when my symptoms started but in 2019, when I was 62, I found myself so persistently lacking in energy that I decided I should mention it to a doctor. The first doctor I saw did some blood

Cardiac rehab class, a bit disappointing at the moment
Hi all , I’m wondering what your experiences of cardiac rehab programs is like. I had heart quadruple bypass on 25th July , I’m recovering at an incredible rate physically . I was fit and strong prior to surgery , apart from a “fatigue” that is been to my GP about (tested B12, thyroid, Testosterone.

Difficulty swallowing, loss of appetite and clogged eustachian tubes.
It is known that a symptom of difficulty swallowing is associated with B12 deficiency. How I experienced it was not accepted by the medics I hired. At times usually at night I would aspirate/choke on food and sometimes fluid my whole life. This is often called having go down the wrong tube. It was

B12 Injections and Folic Acid question
Hi! I am starting my course of B12 injections on Monday and my GP also gave me a prescription for folic acid tablets too but said not to start them until my injections.
