Is what I'm experiencing Pelvic Pain? Plus Spritz for Bits?
I'm 77 years old and have been diagnosed with rectocele and cystocele by my GP and also a private consultant, who told me he could do nothing until I had done 16 weeks of pelvic floor exercises. I found a women's health physio who tells me my pelvic floor measures 5/5 on the modified Oxford scale so

Breakthrough?
Only 15 days in to the successful regiment of 2 mg every 5 hours including setting an alarm and injecting at night. So three times in the last 15 days I essentially skipped a dose. The breakthrough is I was able to observe that there was a 10 to 15 hour delay in the effects of that missed dose. Or

Pins and Needles
I made an error in not being aware that I was reading pins and needles and equating that with the agony and debilitating pain I used to experience. Not the same experience. Part of this error is the treatment protocols are the same no matter the pain and agony level so to physicians the severity is

Injecting three forms of B12 at the same time?
Has anyone tried injecting three forms of B12 at the same time? I am designing a new trial and am considering staying with my amount of 2mg mg 5 hours apart including setting an alarm to inject in the night so my body is never without enough B12 for my cells to heal and injecting the three forms.

Second opinion Dr implies no Endo!
Hi Everyone! So I work abroad on and off and in the UK, I was ‘kinda’ diagnosed with endometriosis, based on a teeny tiny left side ovary cyst they found and the fact that my womb or something was stuck to the back wall of something (uterus?) 🙈🙈 so in the country where I am working, I finally managed

Latest 14 day trial.
Not a trial of volume rather a trial of constant frequency. A trial to explore a hypothesis. Not seeing if I can stumble on something ‘that works’. I consider injecting the same amount less frequently as under supplementation. Note: frequently is not meaningful unless there is a number. Twice a month

What does it mean to have raised Homocysteine but normal MMA?
Hi After some wonderful support here and from my neurologist, I am now a week into eod B12 injections. The last time I posted I didn’t have my actual results. I do now: MMA: 0.21 umol/L (Ref < 0.43) Homocysteine 22 umol/L (Ref 0-20) Can anyone help me understand what it means to have raised homocysteine

Hello everyone
I was diagnosed with PMR at the end of January after several months of aching joints with limited mobility, particularly in my shoulders. After a week of steroids the mobility in my shoulders returned to normal and my hips and knees were fine. I was able to resume doing my weekly 30 mile cycle ride.

Over-treatment
Hi,I've been treated for hypothyroidism for about 8 years and for most of that time, taken 150mg of levothyroxine.

Active B12 test V PA
Would an Active B12 result in range, rule out PA ? My thinking is it should..... but I'm new and I'm not 100% sure of the processes..... Grateful for any links

Hypothesis XII
Hypothesis XII The reason I write a hypothesis instead of using what if or it might be is that it is laborious. No way do I have the funding or experience to prove my hypothesis. The reality that no expert is going to try and prove or disprove it is inconsequential. I very much only write as it helps

Finally finished prednisolone.
Hi all, after just over 7.5 years I've finally managed to stop pred. It's been a very long and slow reduction with the inevitable hiccups along the way. I ended up on 0.5mg every 2 days and finished last week, with no ill effects that I'm aware of. The last PMR symptoms I had were in 2020. What I'd like

Root cause of autoimmune B12 def
Hello- I was just diagnosed with PA and was prescribed injections (cyanocobalamin unfortunately). This was from a hematology referral for low white blood cells. That turned out to be ok, but the doc noticed my B12 was "low" at 310. I was already supplementing B12 so she just said keep doing that.

Generic Link?
I have historically been diagnosed with low B12 and now two of my children have been diagnosed with my son starting injections in new year. Is anyone aware of a genetic component to this condition? Thanks.

Advice on egg freezing and hysterectomy for severely heavy bleeding
Hi everyone, I'm doing a little bit of research so I can take a huge stack of notes to my next gynaecology appointment, and wondered if anyone was able to share their experiences. I'm looking at potentially freezing some of my eggs, as I have endometriomas. I'm still undecided as to whether I want children

Private Dexa Scan
I have been on 40mg pred for 3 weeks for positive GCA.I have agreed to take weekly alendronic acid as advised by my rheumatologist, and took my first dose yesterday. I asked him about having a dexa scan. He says he will arrange a dexa scan when/if I am off steroids, which he says may be in 1 - 1.5
