Metformin and B12 Levels
My husband takes Metformin. He has just been for his review and I badgered him to ask if his B12 had been tested and if so, what the level was. I didn't think he'd ask. He's very resistant to doing things like that. But he did. He's been on Metformin since lockdown. His level of B12 today is "fine

Dizziness
I started doing SI EOD recently following great advice from forum members. I saw a different GP at my new surgery last week and she was very helpful. She has referred me to a neurologist but said the waiting time could be more than a year, she has also arranged for me to have a heart monitor 5 day

Thoughts on test results
This is my first post. I’ve been avidly reading back through past information and found it very empowering - I’ve been inspired to take control of my health. I’ve just had results back from a Medichecks thyroid panel and would appreciate your thoughts. Full information about my history and symptoms

Is it needed and safe for my mom to supplement with folate or B12?
Hi all! I haven't posted before but I've been reading for a few months and find everything really helpful. My mom has had both chemotherapy and radiation this last year, and now has many overlapping symptoms with b12 and folate deficiencies (fatigue, mild neuropathy for years, mild memory loss/confusion

Would an iodine supplement help?
I still don't feel well (very tired and the most dreadful brain fog which has stopped me driving) and wondered how I would know if an iodine supplement might help? Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Latest Medichecks results - stopped taking b12 liquid 2 weeks before test. Taking Spatone, VitaminD

B12 Manufacturing Process
I was reading a post about an Etsy shop offering injectable B12 doses so I decided to research where B12 is manufactured. I found this really interesting site and thought others might also find it interesting. https://quadram.ac.uk/case_studies/an-environmentally-friendly-vitamin-b12-production-method-that-makes-manufacture-more-affordable

79yo male with classic tale of RLS. Started at 17yo. Progressing over the years. Augmentation last Christmas on Pramipexole and a hell of a time transitioning to gabapentin. Unfortunately though I could not stop the attacks even on high doses and taking it as advised by Sue Johnson. Helpful doc allowed
