Starting B12 injections
Hi I am hypothyroid, on Armour Thyroid but still dog tired all the time. I’m on HRT and I have horrible peripheral neuropathy in my feet and lower legs. I can’t walk well or for long at all. My gait feels really off. I’m stiff and have no muscular strength in my legs anymore so crouching down is impossible

Supplements before Diagnostic Blood Tests - Newbie Question
Hello I’ve had unexplained fatigue and neurological symptoms for 10+ years. I recently found out about PA. The symptoms fit my profile and when I mentioned PA to my mum she remembered that two of my great aunts had it. I have Hashimoto’s and psoriasis. So it looks like PA is worth investigating. I

Blood results
Hi all. Just had my blood test results back, which I’m told are all normal. Just thought I’d ask if anyone can confirm they are in fact normal, as I certainly don’t feel normal 😂 I’ll set it out June 23 v. March 24 for comparison. June 23 Serum folate 14.7 ug/L Serum ferritin 16 ug/L Serum B12

How often to increase t3
I started on 6.25 mcg of t3 and increased by 6.25 every 5-7 days. I've been on 31.25 mcg for 2 weeks now and feel exactly the same= dreadful. Shall I keep increasing or wait? I'm also taking 50 mcg of t4. I'm monitoring and taking iron, b12 and vitamin d. I was also taking selenium but stopped now.

folic acid
Is there a good resource showing the need for good folate levels alongside B12 injections? I’m on 4-weekly B12 injections but my latest serum folate blood test is at the very low end of the range, but technically in range according to the NHS so ‘no action required’. It’s gone down while I’ve been

How often should inject?
Background: Diagnosed 9 years ago with ME and fibro (b12 not tested). Been bedbound since but was slowly getting a bit better, then got covid and I never really recovered. Also have no working pituitary since birth. Asked for doctor to do blood tests and came back with b12 at 194. Was told to take supplements

T3 advice and suggestions desperately needed.
Hi everyone, I was so grateful to see you all still here. After 25 years of a ME/CFS diagnosis. A hospital endo has just picked up that I have very low T3 just scrapping in at the bottom and a high T4 over-range. I have always felt dreadful on levothyroxine and my final raise of 100 mcg was 4 years

Changing from Levo to NDT - dosing advice needed
Hello everyone, I'm looking for advice on dosing - switching from levothyroxine 75mcg to NDT (most probably ERFA or Thyroid S) but I've been advised by pennyannie that ERFA might be best as I have hashimotos. So what should I aim to be on with NDT? My vitamin levels are good as I supplement with Vit

Supplementing Vitamin B12
Back in May / June, my B12 was tested and was double the top of range at 1800 n/mol. GP told me to stop supplementing for the time being. I was surprised that it was this high after only as I’d only been supplementing since January having been quite low at 500. Taking one a day Thorne’s Stress formula

Alendronic Acid
When I saw a new rhuemy yesterday she mentioned Alendronic Acid. I had not heard of it. I take Calcium D3 because a DXA scan showed osteopenia in my lower back. Would Alendronic Acid be helpful with Calcium D3 or instead of it?

Hi Guys Had an unexpected breakthrough today, Thursday.
