Can I inject twice a day?
Thanks to you guys I have been happily managing my B12 deficiency by self injecting Hydroxocobalamin 1500 every day. Of I don't inject daily my symptoms come back very fast. I recently had surgery and couldn't move my arms the day after surgery so couldn't inject then so I missed a day here and there

Changing from methyl to hydroxo worries
Hi everyone. I'm about to switch from methyl b12 ampules to Dr myhill's hydroxo, and I'm worried about side effects. I've only been SI for under a year and I've never had a break, so I don't know how I'll react. I've never injected hydroxo. I've been SI 0.5ml of the methyl EOD, which equates to 375mcg

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

Repost with more info: peripheral neuropathy
Thanks to Marion and Esperanto for helping me to provide more information. All questions answered here... (Original post question: my Movement Disorders Specialist (MDS) says foot numbness is not Pripheral Neuropathy, but rather a non motor symptom of Parkinson's??? ) I'm in my 10th year with PD symptoms

I’m about to start b12 injections alternate days for two weeks then every 3 months. I appreciate this isn’t enough for neurological problems which I have. Should I ask for blood tests for folic acid before I start and then take every day .. and for how long? I’m not going down the path of SI for lots

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?

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

Folate Levels ?
I am still trying to feel well ? With symptoms including severe fatigue and weakness, disorientation, and joint and body pains. Can you please let meknow if I might need to increase my Folate level - as although within range - at 13 - I think I had read here that it is best if it is at least 50% through

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

For anyone who is on T3 only... When did you realise you needed it?
Hi everyone. I've been on a real journey since January with Hashimoto's. I started on levothyroxine and it made me feel a lot worse. I started seeing a private thyroid doctor who looked at my bloods and saw my T3 had dropped on levo, and with my symptoms she decided levo was not right for me and put
