Considering Conception & Ideal Thyroid Levels
Hi all. I finally saw an endocrinologist and they suggested increasing thyroxine dose by 20% when doing an embryo transfer to ensure adequate thyroxine. I asked about FT3 and FT4 levels but they were only interested in TSH which didn’t make sense given it only signals thyroid production and isn’t a thyroid

Pink Tribe/Vita Blossom B12 complex v Health Leads
For months I’ve been taking PT or VB but decided to try Health Leads on a recommendation but guess what(?!!), my urine has taken on that bright yellow colour and familiar odour of the types of B12 product I’d stopped taking. Does this mean it’s an inferior product and I’m just peeing it down the loo

Metformin alternatives
Hi all,Can anyone tell me what the recommend alternative drug for type2 diabetes is, other than Metformin. I'm recently diagnosed T2 diabetic and doctor wants me to take Metformin. I understand it can block b12 absorption. Many thanks

Blood Test Results Help Please
I have just got my blood test results back. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis in 1994. My TSH is low & my T4 is low in the range. The lab refused to test my T3. My Folate is low & I feel my B12 is at the low end of the range (to feel well). My GP has just texted me re the Folate, but ignored

RLS returned after taking Duloxetine
Had RLS for many years, associated with Fibromyalgia. Having taken Amitriptylene, Nortriptyline , Pregabalin for my Fibro, my RLS has been under control. Recently started taking Duloxetine to help my Fibro and my RLS has returned with a vengeance. I get very little sleep, as soon as my head hits pillow

Conjecture
I use conjecture as part of my creative process. Thing is I do not pretend it is anything but conjecture. Using those who share their experience on this forum it seems to me that of the three forms readily commercially available Methylcobalamin has the most profound effect. As a person who is not

Trial with new exercise method.
With injections of 1mg of both hydroxocabalamin and methyelcobalamin with 6mg of Adenocabalamin 4 times a day along with my oral supplements I was able to walk 5K four Saturdays in a row. I walked slow and had to stop on some of the hills of New Hampshire USA. Each time I was stopping less not reasonably

Hi, I have been having a number of issues which I thought were low thyroid related, or B12 deficient, both bloods currently look fine thought, apart from my thyroid peroxidase antibodies which have risen from 468KIUL to 502KIUL (range 0-34). What I would like to know is, can thyroid tap or pulse? I

Can B12 levels fluctuate?
Hi, Can B12 levels fluctuate? I have been having a number of B12 related symptoms, took supplements and felt better. I stopped supplements on the 18th June & had 4 months clear of fortified cereal & so on to check if I have a deficiency. I did an active finger prick test & my level on the 14 September
