Thyroid question please...
Hi everyone, I am writing to ask if you can have a sore thyroid without significant enlargement and with 'normal' bloods? I have had 'normal' bloods, it doesn't seem visually enlarged, though I feel like I am being strangled and have audible sounds when I swallow in my ears. When I move my head something

B12 and Ferritin
I said I would post after my haematology consultation. I had a ferritin infusion in February after suspecting that I was ferritin/iron deficient as a result of research into ranges etc. I discovered that 30 can be regarded as ferritin deficient, a lot more than the bottom of the range 11 regarded as

Thorne Basic B Alternative
Good morning team! I started taking Thorne Basic B yesterday and I am not reacting well to it. My private blood results should be back today and I'll hold off purchasing anything else until then but I was hoping someone could recommend a complex with lower dosages, please? I don't know if it's the

Blood Test Results
Hi I have trouble getting a GP appointment - in that I never get one. Test results are relayed via the receptionist so never any opportunity to ask questions. This is the latest test and as a result I've been told to vary my dose (normally 125mcg) taking 100mcg alternate days, 125mcg on the others.

long term omeprazole use
I was taking omeprazole for about 15 years and stopped in December last year, as I had done some research and found out it can affect stomach acid. No one told me to stop taking it. I don’t even know why I was put on it in the first place, up I think it was for IBS. I haven’t had any acid reflux or indigestion

Origin of Loading
Does anyone know the origin of the practice of prescribing loading doses? For lack of better information I have been using the assumption that it is a hol over from when B12 was first synthesized over 1/2 a century ago. That the practice originated when B12 deficiency was thought to be a hematological

Just a moan - appointment cancelled
So just need a quick rant to people who understand so I can move on and get on with my day. Booked my 8 weekly jab no options on the day only 2 days before or a week late, was told they'd have to message the GP for permission to book early so I explained that by a week late I will be feeling very ill

symptoms flare-up
I have been battling an iron deficiency since November, that seems to be a result of my correcting b12 deficiency with shots. I have not been taking the full recommended dose of iron until about a week ago. My ferritin is 25, which is up from 14, but still deficient. The last 3 weeks or so I have notice

I Don't Want to Inject
Someone was exploring sublingual and oral B12 supplementation and wrote. “I don’t want to inject.” I thought me either. This led to me understanding how much I object to injecting. I object to not being able to just head out and only worry about clothes and food. I am traveling a couple of days

High doses of B12
Can one overdose on B12? Can it be given in mega doses like B1? Is it advisable for PWP to take extra high doses of B12? My WWP recently had a blood test and her B12 levels were only slightly higher by about 10% of the recommended levels.

Chlorella
I have been told that chlorella is a good source of b12 but I am doubtful that in a daily dose of 10 chlorella tablets you would get sufficient b12? I would be grateful for any info/advice. Thanks Vonni

Stopping Injections After 3 Loading Doses
Hi! I’m new here and learning so much from reading all of the posts here. I was diagnosed with low B12 levels earlier on this year, although my PA antibodies came back negative. I was put on injections, and was meant to have 6 over 2 weeks followed by 1 every 3 months, however my GP had to stop them

child with dyslexia
My daughter has recently been diagnosed with dyslexic tendencies. She is almost 7yrs old in year 2 of primary school. I had her B12 tested last year due to recurrent mouth ulcers. I’m just concerned that while displaying the characteristics of dyslexia in reading & writing etc she does not experience
