hello I was diagnosed with low b12 about 3 weeks ago. I was asymptomatic for a long time and on occasion get brain fog so I asked for a blood test. I then found out my levels were 76 NG/L . I also have low iron which was at level 9 bf/ml which I’m taking tablets for. I feel like ever since my diagnoses

iron supplements
hello! I wondered if anyone could recommend an iron supplement that has no nasties in? The GP suggested I go on it because I’m slightly anaemic. I am very careful with other supplements to not have additives that might trigger the AF (like B12, Vit D etc) but can’t seem to find an iron supplement that

I posted before my trial off B12 and now I’m posting recent bloods and diary of symptoms. I hope that someone can look over them to help me. I fear that they aren’t going to reinstate my b12 injections. hope it all makes sense History Diverticulitis diagnosed 2018 Hashimoto’s diagnosed 2019

Mucousy
Some one on this forum used the term mucousy. I had never read that term and looked it up. Expecting it to be a UK situation. "We should take a wee walk and go behind that wee bush and take a wee. 🙂 I have been wracking my brain trying to find a way to evaluate not only my supplementation regime but

Can anyone help with iron panel interpretation please
This is a friend’s recent iron panel Posted a couple of days ago but hoping for a better response this time I’ve looked on rT3 adrenals where it says a low transferrin level indicates a lack of capacity for supplemental iron. I really don’t understand this when it’s clear her whole panel is low,

Update
I have written here often that I suffer more with less B12 and less with more B12. I heal more effectively with my latest trial of supplementation. (See Profile) It is not knowable what which of the supplements are effective and it well may be they work together. It is working out that I inject 4

Blue Horizon Active B12 ref range
A quick question - can anyone tell me what the BH range is for Active B12? It would be a separate/different test to the Thyroid Gold Premium which has the Serum B12. I looked but couldn't see it on the BH site. Cheers.

Hello lovely, knowledgeable folks - belated 'Happy New Year' to you all! After an increase of levothyroxine (LT) in November 2023 from 50 mcg/ day to 75 mcg/day, I had back-to-back tests on 02 Jan. (Medichecks - professional blood draw) and 03 Jan. (NHS), to see comparable results. Both tests were

B12 injections
My needles arrived today and I can’t believe I did my first subcutaneous injection, it wasn’t perfect but I did it! Thank you to everyone who helped me, I couldn’t have done it on my own.

NHS Endo - South East - Pro T3 - Three referral choices...
Hi, I went T3 only 3 weeks ago after trying combination therapy for 6 months. At around the same I had my local surgery test for blood FBC, blood sugar, cholesterol, calcium folate, B12 Iron etc. This was just to check for my self that I wasn't encountering any other issues. To my surprise they also

MMA result
Hi allJust got medichecks result which shows high lMMA level: 34.8ug/l (less than 32) Previous medichecks active B12 was 48.1 pmol/l (37.5-150) (they advised MMA test) Intrinsic factor antibodies negative (mum had PA) Does high MMA result indicate a functional b12 deficiency as opposed to dietary deficiency

elevated MCHC GP unconcerned
I’m sure she’s right but I was told via text with no opportunity to reply or discuss so wondering if anyone here can shed any extra light. I’m 8 months postpartum and still breastfeeding. I have a long term b12 issue for which I have injections every 8 weeks. Periodically my folate gets low, as it

I’m Quite Annoyed Over My Latest Blood Tests.
Three months ago my Levo was reduced because they thought I was taking too much. This week I had my blood test and they haven’t even tested T3 as last time so how am I supposed to know if it’s much better or not?. The September results were: TSH - 0.03 [0.35-4.94] FT4 - 20.1 [9.0-19.0] FT3 - 4.89 [

Range for B12d
Just wondering if I am misunderstanding the use of the the range for B12.My local health centre has a set range of 150 - 1000. 0. How does this work? If someone's level is, say, 155, is this believed to mean that this person is considered to be as well, in B12 terms, as another person who's B12 level

Urine versus Serum MMA test?
Hello everyone, Could anyone tell me if there is a reason either way to choose on of these tests over the other? I'm thinking of getting my daughter to do one after her 6 loading doses of B12. As a baseline for if she does or doesn't respond much, and for going forward from here. I'm guessing the

Bleeding stomach
Could an administrator advise. A haematologist has just diagnosed me with blood macrocytosis and taken further blood tests. I had a holding dose of B12 from an osteopath as I thought I had PA. Haematologist said my haemagloebin is high and no PA. I felt very sick having the injections and now am having
