Nervous energy?
I've now had my 6 loading doses of B12 and also started using a sub-lingual B12 spray. I have not felt any better as yet but I have felt a kind of nervous energy, it almost feels like irritability or a vague anxiety. I wonder if my body does not quite know how to handle the change! Has anyone else

While I am at it...shortness of breath
I get shortness of breath that is pretty severe. I do have COPD. Yesterday it was crippling and lasted all day. It gets much worse when I lie down. Is this a common symptom of B12 deficiency? I did an injection early in the day, and the shortness of breath was gone not until about 22 hours later

Tingly Legs
Been on 25mg levothyroxine for about 18 months due to Tsh being 3.0 and GP wanted it under 2.0 as trying to conceive. Never noticed any side affects. For about 4 weeks now I've had a tingling feeling in legs and feet and one hand which is carpal tunnel like. Bloods fine, b12 satisfactory and tsh is 1.9

Spray methylcobalamin
Do try a sublingual spray, if you haven't already. I was a bit sceptical, but having bought some 'Better You B12 Boost' today, in Holland and Barrett (UK) it certainly perked me up a bit.

7 day trial
I was injecting 1 mg of Methyelcobalamin and 1 mg of Hydroxocobalamin 5 times a day +- and taking 6 mg SL Adenosylcobalamin. I ran out of Hydroxocobalamin and substituted Cynocabalamin for 5 days. One vial. I could not discern any difference. Not a long trial and it is hard to evaluate as I am improving

B12 injectables in Australia
Hi, I’m moving back to Australia next month after 15 years living in Europe. My question, can anyone in Australia advise me on where to get Hydroxocobalamin injectables? Is it easy to find? Can I buy over the counter? I’ll visit a doctor as soon as possible, but will they be understanding and prescribe

SIRVA
anyone have any experience with SIRVA? I am confident I am struggling with this in my left arm. It is not from B12 but from a flu shot. Pain for weeks following injection. Loss of strength and range of motion.

I was diagnosed with osteoporosis in August and started Alendronic acid in September. I was wondering if the neck

New here, undiagnosed, Normal TSH Low T4
Hi Long story short - I have had many Hypothyroid symptoms for many years and after having had some private bloods done I finally managed to get my NHS GP to request a T4 test which she accepts is low and confusing for her as my TSH is normal. She has said she will ask an endocrinologist for advice

Could I actually have a thyroid issue? Thyroid tests seem fine. Confused, please help
Hi everyone, I’m seeing a functional doctor in Brazil (online, so there’s some limitation) and also working with a few traditional medicine doctors in the UK. I became an useless person over the last year, I went from bright and lively to stupid, fat, insomnia ridden, gold-fish memory, paper thin

what is it this time?
Ok, so I’ve been SI for just under a month, moving from twice weekly to about EOD following symptoms response. I was initially taking 3mg folic acid each morning with food along with magnesium at night. Two days ago I bought a new brand of folic and increased my dosage to 5mg (following recommendations

Best time of day to take medichecks pernicious anemia test with MMA, intrinsic factor antibodies, folate, active b12, red blood cells etc?
I'm going to take the medichecks pernicious anemia test. They don't seem to say anything about fasting beforehand, but I know that sometimes it can be better to do so even if not advised. What time of day, and/or fasting state, should I take this test? I'll be going to a clinic for a blood draw and
