High IronLow Ferritin
Hi, after my last results 2 months ago my ferritin level has dropped further regardless of the B12 suplaments (was told they are supposed to aid in converting iron to ferritin) however they have been no use. My ferritin has dropped further. Any recommendations on tests or suplaments? I live in Cyprus

First Private Blood Test
This is my first post to this excellent website, and I hope someone can help me understand my first private blood test - fasting, last levothyroxine 26 hours previously. No B12 supplement for three weeks prior to the test. I did find it difficult to get sufficient blood, this being my second attempt

Finally diagnosed, but next steps unclear
Hi, newbie here. I've felt like crap since last year. A health check had my B12 at about 250 with folate just below the NHS bottom range around December 2022. I was told it was ok, not to worry, I didn't have symptoms blah blah. A few months ago I started to get tingling in the right hand (I say

I chose to stop my SL methylcobalamin and start injecting methylcobalamin. I started with 1 mg three times a day. After three days I found that sometimes I could feel that I had used up my B12 between injections and went to 1.5 mg three times a day and found that to be disruptive and decided that was

Feeling really low at the minute. Sorry this is a long one but just want to write it all down.
After Nstemi in March, I went back to work in April. Was feeling pretty good apart from a burning sensation in the chest area not quite every day. I am on the gold standard meds, apparently and the GP advised that my 3 months was up to and to stop clopidogrel on 14 June. Which I did. He increased my

Burning tongue "syndrome": nerve-related ?
I saw a different Oral Medicine consultant very briefly last week, who told me that nerve damage was the cause of my constantly burning tongue - and then offered me Amitryptyline as a six-month pain relief trial. I refused the offer of this antidepressant, but missed the opportunity to ask the obvious
