Over-treatment
Hi,I've been treated for hypothyroidism for about 8 years and for most of that time, taken 150mg of levothyroxine. Recently, as the fatigue had become difficult after having covid, I found my B12 levels were low, so I started treatment for that. My fatigue improved about 2 weeks later. I looked at my

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

severe osteoporosis and op drugs
is there people on here with L5 t12 who don't take any op drugs and take the risks of fractures, when I was dx I was told I must have zoledronic acid infusion to help me followed by prolia, I thought I was doomed unless I had treatment, I asked for another dexa scan before my 2nd infusion on the 25th

Update: Tooth Extraction delayed because of risks while on Alendronic Acid
my dentist now informs me that having digitised my tooth X-ray and reconsidered, it could be saved with root canal treatment by a specialist, cost £800 to £1000, starting with a consult of £100. Alternatively I could proceed with extraction, however he will not do it, he would refer me to an NHS hospital

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

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.

Revisiting the Zoledronic acid pros & cons
Hi folks, I was offered zoledronic acid two years ago and was so freaked out by possible side effects that I declined. At the time I was at a much lower dose of Pred and naively thought I would be off it by now, that my calcium absorption would return to normal and I'd be able to rebuild my bones naturally

Blood Test Results.
Just a quick question. I had my monthly B12 injection two days before having a blood test. Could this make my b12 levels abnormally high? TIA

worst fears seem to be coming true.
Dear friends, I posted on here in March 2021 asking your advice as to whether I should even start on Teriparatide worrying about rebound fractures afterwards because I was told there was no other drug that I could safely take. The 2 years on Teriparatide ( Forsteo) passed far too quickly but interrupted

How to wean off omeprazole
I’ve just had some blood tests done prior to some surgery and the results show there may be a problem with vitamin B12 levels. Hmm, I take 20mg omeprazole daily, in capsule form. Anyone any idea of the best way to come off this? I believe I’ll have to gradually wean off it?

Hi all, so happy to have found this forum. I was diagnosed as B12 deficient just a couple of weeks ago after being unable to attribute my weird collection of symptoms to either a busy life (fatigue, brain fog) or spinal nerve inpingement (cramp, twitches, bone pain). It was the lip twitching that finally

Best way of treatement?
Hi, all dear B12 def sufferers, After one year of sc injections EOD my bloods are still not excellent. Low Hb, low count of erytrocytes and MCV is high. My neurological spts are much improved comparing to my situation one year back. I still have some spts of subacute degeneration of spinal cord,

Winter Solstice
Today is the Winter Solstice in New Hampshire USA. I had set a goal to not be sun deprived on the winter solstice. I achieved that goal. It was a near thing and the weather was favorable. I did not set the goal of not being sun deprived on the winter solstice or at any time prior. I did get sun deprived

Armour thyroid
I have been on armour for several years and my endo is aware. 2 months ago I had a blood test which showed my levels were fairly low, TSH was 8 ish and t3 and t4 were low. So I increased my dose slightly whilst waiting for a further endo appointment. Within a couple of weeks I was hyper, no blood test
