I’m about to start b12 injections alternate days for two weeks then every 3 months. I appreciate this isn’t enough for neurological problems which I have. Should I ask for blood tests for folic acid before I start and then take every day .. and for how long? I’m not going down the path of SI for lots

Great doctor!
I want to share my experience with my lovely new doctor! I thought from my conversation that he had PA like me. It turns out itis a very rare condition that took years of frustration like us to be diagnosed and has left him with intense chronic pain and debilitating exhaustion He can only work 3days

Skin issues and b12
Hi guys! I am wondering if anyone here has experienced a continuous thickening of skin over their face. It started like dermatitis and was very itchy Now I am finding that the itch has gone but the skin over a couple of days after exfoliating starts to become like a dry mask and the only thing that softens

Starting B12 injections
Hi I am hypothyroid, on Armour Thyroid but still dog tired all the time. I’m on HRT and I have horrible peripheral neuropathy in my feet and lower legs. I can’t walk well or for long at all. My gait feels really off. I’m stiff and have no muscular strength in my legs anymore so crouching down is impossible

Supplements before Diagnostic Blood Tests - Newbie Question
Hello I’ve had unexplained fatigue and neurological symptoms for 10+ years. I recently found out about PA. The symptoms fit my profile and when I mentioned PA to my mum she remembered that two of my great aunts had it. I have Hashimoto’s and psoriasis. So it looks like PA is worth investigating. I

Folate Levels ?
I am still trying to feel well ? With symptoms including severe fatigue and weakness, disorientation, and joint and body pains. Can you please let meknow if I might need to increase my Folate level - as although within range - at 13 - I think I had read here that it is best if it is at least 50% through

Vitamins for cognition
Hello, my adult son has cognitive/short term memory difficulties following a TBI. He takes omega 3, B12, vitamin D and magnesium supplements and it's difficult to know if they are helping or not. I wondered if any of you could advise which supplements have been helpful to you. Lions mane and ashwaganda
