Vitamin timings
Morning from not at all sunny Wales. I don’t know why I struggle with a vitamin routine and I wonder if I’m alone on this? Is it okay to take all of these at the same time after breakfast: Vit D/K, B12, Folate, and DHEA? If I take them then they aren’t near any thyroid medication but wanted

Hello everyone. Same old story. I booked my 3 monthly b12 injection I've been having for past 15 years. Gp says no more & did blood tests. FBC normal apart from low WBC 1.3. B12 high but low iron. No idea why b12 injections were started in the first place just that my level was 130. I attach his

T4 low TSH normal
Evening, I've had more blood tests done and I'm fed up of feeling so badly every day. I've done medichecks TSH tests and cortisol. Only test low is my T4 which tbh never changed since 2016 TSH fluctuates. I had telephone appointment before my test results came back. Due to my chronic fatigue. Weight

Metformin and B12 Levels
My husband takes Metformin. He has just been for his review and I badgered him to ask if his B12 had been tested and if so, what the level was. I didn't think he'd ask. He's very resistant to doing things like that. But he did. He's been on Metformin since lockdown. His level of B12 today is "fine

Parathesia
Low vitamin B12 in January. 3 months of oral supplements. Bloods completed again results even lower than original results. 6 loading doses of B12 injections. Then injections every three months.

*Long Read Warning* How do you know if you’re getting better mentally?
Just need to vent, if you read this and commented thankyou, it helps getting another perspective on the situation. Male, 20 Parents went through a divorce in 2022 and it was ugly to say the least. (Mom was an alcoholic, dad was a cop and emotionally distant due to his Mexican culture and upbringing

Dizziness
I started doing SI EOD recently following great advice from forum members. I saw a different GP at my new surgery last week and she was very helpful. She has referred me to a neurologist but said the waiting time could be more than a year, she has also arranged for me to have a heart monitor 5 day

Help with results - what would you do?
Hello I finally got a private endo to agree to up my meds from 75mcg levothyroxine to 100 or112.5 if I felt it necessary in July 2023 allowing my TSH to fall below range, and that I understood and was willing to take the risks. My 3 pm slump was dangerous as I was fighting to stay awake on the way

How to change from T3 only to T4?
I'm currently self medicating on 50mcg Tiromel and have been for a few years. My doctor prescribed me 75 mcg Eutirox 5 x week and 88 on the weekends. It just wasn't working for me, so after a lot of reading I assumed I was just someone with a faulty conversion gene and decided to try alternatives.

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

Low iron test results and a way forward please
I had some blood tests recently and am wanting advice on a way forward, please. My serum iron level and my transferrin saturation index are both below the minimum level on the reference ranges.
