PA and oral B12 supplements
I have recently been diagnosed with PA and I’ve had an initial booster course of 6x B12 injections with a plan for 3 monthly injections for life (based, I understand, on local UK NHS protocols, or how my GP has interpreted them). I was therefore wondering if there is any benefit in taking oral B12

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

Smart Protein and amino acids
I have had an under active thyroid for many years, I’ve recently learns about T4 and T3 tests. All mine have come back as “normal”. I have read about amino acids which can help you, I eat healthy, exercise 3 times a week and I’m no spring chicken. I never loose weight and when attending medial appointments

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

Three years in
Today three years ago I walked into a emergency room. I could only walk 60 yards without resting. I had to stop driving 6 times during a 40 minute drive. Luckily I was admitted and luckily my B12 was finally tested and was <150 which is the lowest level that this particular lab tests for. I started

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

B12 help
Following on from previous post I have an under active thyroid (Hashimoto’s) and my bloods from October 2021 was MCH 32.8 (27-32) and B12 was 379 (197-771). I read online the MCH this high was macrocytic anaemia but my endo didn’t tell me that. I have been supplementing B complex and sometimes B12

Having trouble ordering b12 as there is apparently a shortage in Australia. Help!!
I am in New Zealand but ordered my B12 from Australia. Without warning, I have just discovered there is a shortage that may go on to as far off as March next year. I am really stressed. Can anyone help with alternatives? I was told Germany did not send to Australia and wondered if NZ was the same. Thanks

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

Low Iron
Hi everyone, Wondered if anyone has had experience with SVT and low iron? I’ve just found out that I have extremely low iron stores which explains a lot of my symptoms, including a fast heart rate and wondering whether anyone knows whether it could cause atrial tachycardia? I am really hoping once
