Misdiagnosis? Fibromyalgia or PA?
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia about 19 years ago, but I wonder whether it was a misdiagnosis. I am still waiting for a PA diagnosis, but have been experiencing many of the symptoms of PA for months. Many of the tests I have done have shown low B12, low folate, low ferritin, all within range but low

Help with results appreciated
Hi everyone, It's been a while since I had full TFTs etc so I was surprised to see some of the results, especially compared to last time (2020). The TSH is lower than in 2020 (when it was 3.7), the Free T4 is slightly higher (16.2 in 2020), but the Free T3 is lower than it was (5.24). My B12 results

Notes for upcoming GP appointment
Apologies as this is a long read 🙃 I've got a GP appointment booked for 9th May, with a doctor I've not seen before and who is relatively new to the practice. I'm wanting to ask for a Rheumatology referral and have written the below out as a crib sheet for me to take in. I'd appreciate any thoughts

NICE guidelines
Just had someone at my surgery call to say I haven’t had b12 for years (needless to say untrue) and so cannot receive my usual injection. I have explained that you don’t test B12 while receiving B12 and that the guidelines should be read. I mentioned that the new guidelines are due and should be read

Doctor has asked to see me.......
I have been SI'ing for 6½ years now. I get some B12 on prescription, but just one a month. I buy the rest myself, and SI every 3 days. I put in my prescription last week and got a call today from the nurse. She said the doctor wants to see me to, and I quote, 'make sure I am doing it right'. I feel like

Yet another mess...
I am coming to the end of my B12 pills and being on the lower pension and every penny counts, wondered if I needed to reorder. So I phoned the surgery to request a blood test, and was told the GP would phone me back. So far, so good. A GP phoned, introduced herself as the new GP at the surgery. I

Suppliments and blood sugar
Does b complex cause a high a1c because of the b12? Any other vitamins to avoid with high blood sugar would be appreciated.

Omeprazole and Vit B12
Just found out that is you are on Omeprazole you should also be considering taking a Vit B12 supplement. Article reads: all people taking omeprazole need to either supplement with vitamin B12 or have their vitamin B12 status checked on a yearly basis. Even relatively small amounts of vitamin B12

Is it Supplementation or just life?
This dilemma was better expressed by someone else on this forum. As often happens something resonates and I mull it over and can not give credit where credit is due. When under supplementing by injecting 1.5 mg Hydroxocobalamin once a day and taking 6 mg sublingual adenosylcobalamin I could only tell

raised blood sugar on prostap
hi I’ve been on prostap now for 17 months, I started feeling not as well on it about four months ago, low mood again, bag fatigue, cystic acne around my mouth, and my b12 and folate levels are low, but also it has raised my blood sugars, has anyone else had this? My consultant said I have to stop them
