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,

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. I just wondered, did anyone else take folic acid with their injections and when did you start? On day one of the injections? My prescription

Grandmother, 88 being denied B12 injections
This group has always been very supportive, particularly when I began my B12 deficiency ordeal. I was hoping I could get some advice on a very specific issue I am having with my maternal grandmother, who has had Pernicious Anaemia for as long as I can remember and likely where I inherited mine from.

Higher CSF/serum free-T4 ratio is associated with improvement of quality of life during treatment with L-thyroxine
An interesting paper. Note a parallel with Pernicious Anaemia/B12 deficiency in which some have low CSF B12 while having high serum B12. Asking the question, though the answer is almost certan, has anyone ever had their CSF thryoid hormone levels tested? On Twitter: [i]Johannes W. Dietrich @drjwdietrich

Iron problem?
Hi,I have a low iron saturation - latest blood tests show range = just out (low side). Apologies I haven't got details atm. Although I do supplement with iron it's obviously not enough? I'm not too sure regarding Folate and Ferritin? What exactly do I purchase? Love to you all

Thyroid medication update
So presently taking 60 NDT and 25 t4 synthroid. I couldn't tolerate 90 ndt so my doctor gave me 25 t4 as a slower release and doesn't hit as hard as ndt. So it seems this addition of t4 has helped me. My sleep is better, my eyebrows filling in more, the few pounds I was holding onto seem to have dropped

Diet and B vitamins
Hello, I take a daily supplement dose of plant based vitamin B12 Complex and try to eat a range of foods that are healthy. I drink alcohol - maybe 5 units four/five times a week and I read that maybe I should take additional B vitamins to cover myself against there being insufficient to counteract this
