depression
can I ask if any members find that lack of B12 increases depression.I find when “low” that an increase in SI is becoming necessary.I would be grateful for members views.

More B12 injections?
I’m currently injecting hydroxo once a day. I feel this isn’t enough. I’ve been injecting for 2 years. Does anyone here inject more than once a day? If so have there been any improvements?

Dental work
I have recently had my 2nd alendronic acid infusion and so far so good! However I am due to have some dental work in November, which could involve extraction. When I went for my last infusion I was told not to have any work done for a while after this. I have spoken to the dentist who still wants me

High IronLow Ferritin
Hi, after my last results 2 months ago my ferritin level has dropped further regardless of the B12 suplaments (was told they are supposed to aid in converting iron to ferritin) however they have been no use. My ferritin has dropped further. Any recommendations on tests or suplaments? I live in Cyprus

help please, liothyronine, Roma brand
please forgive how long winded this will be I’m spaced out and not with it at all. I only posted a few months ago and my T4 results were a little on the high side. I was on 200mcg of Levo and alternate day 225mcg. I’ve reduce this down to 200mcg over 5 days and two doses of 25mcg over 2 days. Example

Blood results - Any Advice?
Hi! Just looking for maintenance recommendations and any advice is greatly appreciated! Went to a new doctor (endocrinologist) to get a 2nd opinion on my thyroid condition. Of course, my goal is to heal and get off meds completely one day but she said she does not feel it is possible. Was first

Worried about TSH levels :( 0.04mlU/L
I am taking a small 3mg of T3 with a private prescription and my NHS endo has said, this prescription is causing my lower TSH - but that feels like I'm being gaslight again. I'm feeling soo fatigued and stressed trying to get it sorted. I know I need to my levels on the lower side due to previous thyroid

Finally diagnosed, but next steps unclear
Hi, newbie here. I've felt like crap since last year. A health check had my B12 at about 250 with folate just below the NHS bottom range around December 2022. I was told it was ok, not to worry, I didn't have symptoms blah blah. A few months ago I started to get tingling in the right hand (I say

How to persuade TSH-obsessed Endo I'm not over-replaced (on T3-only)?
Hello, I am posting because I'm hoping for some advice for an Endo meeting on Tuesday. There is a possibility that the NHS Endocrinology team at my local hospital might just be contemplating 'widening' their approach to T3 (historically for me, a violent slam in the face 'NO! Get off T3 immediately or

alendronic acid
Hi I have had Osteopenia for several years. I also have Chron's Disease and Rheumatoid Arthritis as well as Hypothyroidism.

Designing new trial
I chose to stop my SL methylcobalamin and start injecting methylcobalamin. I started with 1 mg three times a day. After three days I found that sometimes I could feel that I had used up my B12 between injections and went to 1.5 mg three times a day and found that to be disruptive and decided that was

My body did not get the memo.
I accept that a test had been done measuring the amount of Hydroxocobalamin and Cynocabalamin that can be measured in the urine at different times after the injection and that the numbers are likely repeatable. I do not know if any testing was done on a subject that was B12 deficient. I find it unlikely

Burning tongue "syndrome": nerve-related ?
I saw a different Oral Medicine consultant very briefly last week, who told me that nerve damage was the cause of my constantly burning tongue - and then offered me Amitryptyline as a six-month pain relief trial. I refused the offer of this antidepressant, but missed the opportunity to ask the obvious

Sleep disorders with Atorvastatin 20mg
Hi I have been on Atorvastatin 20mg for almost two weeks now. My sleep pattern was bad before but its even worse now. I am up twice in the night for several hours at a time. I am 72 and just wondered if anyone had any problems with this. I am also on Folic acid and B12 so not sure which tablet is causing

supplements to help DA withdrawal
I am wondering if anyone has used natural supplements like amino acids to increase dopamine while tapering off Pramaprexole? I have wondered if it would help with the decrease in dopamine while tapering. Also has anyone used Modafinil with any luck in helping energy and mood?
