Increased cancer risk?
History of breast cancer here, so get my b12 level and others checked every 7 weeks. Now, I have read in some cancer fora supplementing with B-vitamins, in particular B12, can increase the risk of cancer, if ones level is always a bit high.I usually am around 5-700 nmol/L, when I get my Hydroxocobalamin

Help Needed! Have I got Pernicious Anaemia?
I hope this isn't too long and/or too boring. I suspect I have PA but as with a lot of people here, no-one seems to take B12 deficiency seriously. I also have hypothyroidism so as my symptoms got increasingly worse over the past few years, I blamed my thyroid - the two conditions have many symptoms

Advice moving forward?
So I recently had blood tests that showed low b12, iron and vit D. Was prescribed tablets for the iron and vit D. And put on a course of B12 loading doses. 6 injections over 2 weeks. it's now been 2 weeks after the last b12 injection and none of my symptoms have improved. When I talked to the gp,

Can't increase my iron levels
Hi all, I posted in February 2023 my low iron results and started taking 200 Ferrous Sulphate daily then. My iron results after 3 months were Ferritin 39 (20-204) Serum iron 18.6 (4.4-27.9) Feb 23 was: serum iron 11, ferritin was 29. So not a huge improvement. But now, a year on, even worse! Despite

Bloods and GP help!
Hi my partner has been suffering from symptoms of hypothyroidism for several years now. The bulk of this time he was suffering depression, anxiety and over weight so each visit to the GP about his symptoms would always be loose weight and sort your mental health. Amazingly since the start of this yr

Myelin Sheath Repair
This isn't technically a B12 question but since a lot of us have peripheral neuropathy I thought I'd post it here. Has anyone read about a newly discovered use for an old antihistamine, clemastine? They say it can repair the myelin sheath for MS patients. Here is a blurb I read: "[i]Now, researchers

Vitamin B Complex
Hi All! Please could you advise if this b complex is good? I just bought it. I’d like to ask if the folic acid is sufficient for supplementation? It says to take 2 a day. I don’t have my results on me but my folic acid was low in range. Also I’m taking 1000mcg of b12 in active form (methylconalamin

frustrating!!
so I posted my sons blood results being concerned over his very low active b12 and having to wait weeks for an appointment with Gp. Finally seen Gp who question the private bloods and ordered her own. She tested for pernicious anaemia apparently. Other blood results have returned and are Ferritin
