Gypsy pains.
Hi again everyone. I was just wondering if anyone has experienced what we call "traveling" pains. For ex; I may have throbbing pain in my wrist and then 10 minutes later my wrist does not hurt at all, but then the back of my thighs ache like crazy and then a few min later my jaw hurts and then after

SI vs Self-treating
I started using the term self-treating as soon as I started to inject. In the USA I was prescribed 8 weekly cyno 1mg IM then 1mg cyno and 1 mg folic oral daily for life. No further treatment necessary. I did improve but not much. My impetus to self-treat was at first driven to prevent permanent damage

Book on hypothyroidism as I wait for Levo to kick in?
Hi all, and thanks for having me here. I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism in October and started on 25mg Levo per day. Last week I saw my GP for (I think) an unrelated matter. She looked at my blood results from December (TSH 2.35, down from 4.39 in October, and T4 9.2, up from 7.9 in October) and

B12 ampoules
Can't find post but wondered if there was an outcome to only half the amount in .0.5ml rather than 1mg/1ml Was it an error of user? Or syringe Or was it a batch of b12 faulty?

B12 and Thyroid Test
I have just ordered advanced thyroid test from medi checks and was taken aback to read that B12 should be stopped 2 weeks before test. Because of neuropathy I self inject B12 every other day and have done ever since diagnosis of hypothyroidism over a year ago, whatever blood tests I have had. Should

Looking for advice, yet again, please.
I had an appointment to see my GP today regarding high blood pressure. I have been taking 10mg Ramipril for some time but recently BP has been high and erratic. Apparently, I cannot go to a higher Ramipril dose, therefore, need to change. I’m aware that some BP medication can interfere with RLS, so

Chat with GP. Disappointed.
So recent post my TSH is still high I feel at around 4 but just in range but I know and told him about the facts and figures for it and still having symptoms and declined an increase. I feel I should do it myself. .. I can’t afford to see an endo or such so pls don’t suggest. I don’t know what to do?

Vitamin d
Currently trying to sort out my health after realising my stomach is not absorbing b12 (am SI). I’ve been on a low dose of d3 (500 ug) for years after being told by doctors it was low. The last d3 test I had my results came back at 68. However, I had taken the supplement that day. Are the test results

Update
I had a call from surgery re blood test to say I should pick up a script for 50mcg Levothyroxine which is double the daily dose I have been on. Another blood test in 6 weeks. My problem is I have been fine on 25mcg lots of energy as long as I get my B12 I wonder at GP changing meds without any consultation

Folate when SI?
Hi everyone, How much folate is recommended when injecting B12? The folate tablets I have are 400µg. Also, can anyone kindly comment on my sudden lip problems? I awoke 4 mornings ago to blistered lips, they were slightly worse the next morning. The blistering seems to have stopped but my lips are

Update
I am still working out my next trial. I am having issues with procurement which is no fun. I now can reduce or eliminate a supplement and in a few days tell what the effect is, to my satisfaction. I call it incipit symptoms. I can tell they are going to return with a vengeance due to prior trials.

Update and latest results
Hello again lovely people. I thought I’d come back and update having been on Levo 50mcg since diagnosis 3 months ago. In early January the GP asked me to retest and only TSH was done (big let down but not unexpected)! I was amazed that after only 2 months on Levo 50mcg that my TSH had dropped to 0.44

Help with latest bloods please!
hi everyone I’m on 50mcg of Levothyroxine for Hashimotos and my original test results are in my profile. I’ve just had some bloods done with the GP and they’ve said no further action is required. I’m conscious that there is a difference between being within range and optimal, so I thought I’d come on

Morning all, I posted some results a while ago and followed the very wise advice I was given but as I still felt rubbish I got into my GP who was very helpful and ordered lots of tests for me. When I posted towards the end of last year I was struggling and my B12 was low, ferritin dire at 16 and some
