Hi All, I have just got my blood results back and I am wanting to know what you all think and if you have any suggestions on how to improve. I don't understand my antibodies results and why my LDL is so high. Active B12 - 39 pmol/L (Normal Range 38 - 188) Corrected Calcium - 2.18 mmol/L (Normal

to use B12 or not to
hello all My B12 is in range at 409(150-640) but I have burning skin sensations. So should I start taking B12 or could the burning skin just be anxiety? Also my format is 4.8(3.5-20) TIA

Stopping B vits before test
Just checking, I'm now taking separate B12 drops as well as a B complex - I'm ok to keep taking these drops up until the day before a blood test aren't I? Am I right in thinking it's just supplements containing biotin (ie the B complex in my case) you should stop a week before?

What can I do to stop getting colds and flus all the time?
Hi. I've been on IM B12 for about a year now and all symptoms have improved and I'm generally doing really well. I suspect B1 deficiency (improvement with oral supplementation) was present and I corrected D deficiency. I have hashimotos thyroiditis and am stable on medication. I still get colds and flus

I Find This Helpful.
I have reviewed some information on B12 supplementation that can be found it relates to autism. I found it to be very helpful so I thought I would share that. Not that any of us need more information to review. I with some study apply the principle of Gestalt psychologist Kurt Koffka:

Hydroxocobalamin
I have asked prior as part of other posts Where can I find the details on how or why Hydroxo is better or longer lasting and by how much longer lasting is it marketed as being . . . . . I think many need the details of the supposed advantages of Hydroxo. . . . . I certainly have bought and used

B2 B6
I am reading elsewhere on health unlocked that we need B2 to absorb B6 which prevents excess B6. . . . . This is conection with PD although seems appropriate for most I currently use B6 usually about 3mg along with 600/700ish B12 and I use B6 as B12 more or less cured a load of my symptoms but

8 Day Trial.
Current trial 1 mg hydroxocobalamin, 1.5 mg of adenosylcobalamin, 1.5 mg of methylcobalamin. Day one. No other supplements other than 50 mg of B6 twice a day in the form or P-5-P as symptoms do not indicate a need for any other supplements. Without supplementing B6 I experience peripheral neuropathy

Needle size for Surgery injections?
Yesterday I had my 3 monthly B12 jab and was rather taken aback to be injected in the shoulder with a 21G 1 1/2 “needle which was quite painful unlike when I self inject with 25G x 1” needle. I don’t remember needles being this large in the past and wondered if this is common practice to draw from ampoule

Vegan breast-feeding and supplements
My daughter is currently breast feeding. The baby can’t tolerate dairy so my daughter, who is already vegetarian has had to cut out dairy. So she’s now vegan. I asked her if she’s supplementing b12 and she said she’s been advised to take this multi supplement. Looking at it it includes an impressive

New GP is considering to give me B12 pills instead of injections - would that be the same in the long run?
Started having B12 injections two yeas ago and worked fine. Now moved to a new village and the new GP ordered blood tests to see if I should continue. Fought back and said that without the injections my B12 levels are going down. He asked me to take vitamin pills and have another blood test. If levels

Duff batch of B12?
Have any self-injectors ever found their symptoms coming back big-time over a period of several weeks and wondered if they've been using a duff batch of B12? I have been self-injecting every other day for 18 months because of persistent neurological symptoms (paraspinal muscle spasm). I was doing great

I've been thinking a lot about people's misdiagnoses........
We talk a lot about the vast number of people who have been misdiagnosed, who went on to self treat, and subsequently improved their health, and their quality of life. But what about those who have received a diagnosis, and accepted it?? My GP at the time of my B12 crash wanted to diagnose me with Fibromyalgia

Just diagnosed. Does this explain my life? Especially my recent experiences?
For as long as I can remember, I have been suffering with various levels of depression and anxiety, lack of energy, poor sleep habits and headaches.Yet both times I have come out of hospital with B12 shots, I have felt like a new man with a new brain, like nothing previous worried me as much anymore.
