I’m Quite Annoyed Over My Latest Blood Tests.
Three months ago my Levo was reduced because they thought I was taking too much. This week I had my blood test and they haven’t even tested T3 as last time so how am I supposed to know if it’s much better or not?. The September results were: TSH - 0.03 [0.35-4.94] FT4 - 20.1 [9.0-19.0] FT3 - 4.89 [

Ferritin and Iron
I found some information below about Ferritin and Iron - it is from the Dr Mercola website. I have just had my ferritin levels and iron levels checked - The Doctor said they were a bit on the low side so I am taking some gentle iron. My ferritin was 50.9 - I never heard of ferritin before having RLS

Seems to me that my milestones associated with my cobalamin issues tend to be known to me only in hindsight. I thought about it and came to understand that is the way most milestones actually happen and it is only in hindsight and my narrative of the past that milestones become apparent. I need to

Unexplained bruising a B12 symptom?
Hello all, Backstory My daughter is continuing to receive EOD shots from her GP surgery by the grace of a switched on GP who I sent in the NICE guidelines to (for myself actually, but he seems to have taken it on board). The original GP who dealt with my daughter was happy to do loading doses but then

B vitamins sensitivity ( and B1 therapy?)
I have found that I am very sensitive to B vitamins and I am not able to tolerate taking long term of B - complex or some of its combinations as homocysteine formulas.. What makes me sick is Folic Acid, no matter if methylated or no, I have difficulty to breathe and weakness, heard arhytmias, which vanishes

Just need some advice on self injecting.
Just need to come up with a safe plan for what to do about my B12 injections. After several years of symptoms like chronic fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, pins and needles, sore lips, dry skin, breathlessness etc I was finally diagnosed with a B12 deficiency in 2011. My B12 level was 154. By this

Riboflavin (b2) supplementation is a no-brainer for Parkinsons

First of all I want to thank the administrators and everyone who contribute to this forum. I look at it several times a week and so continue to learn about our shared condition from all the contributions. I need to take a bit of a sounding about my next steps – I think I know what I want to do, but

I would love to see a Clinical Trial on TTFD
I gave up on TTFD (thiamine tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide - a B1 derivative) because; I would settle in on a sweet-spot, within a few weeks I would overdose, I lowered my dose and repeated again & again. Thinking maybe that wouldn’t be a bad thing — could it be a cure and would I get down to just recommended
