Would an iodine supplement help?
I still don't feel well (very tired and the most dreadful brain fog which has stopped me driving) and wondered how I would know if an iodine supplement might help? Any thoughts would be most appreciated. Latest Medichecks results - stopped taking b12 liquid 2 weeks before test. Taking Spatone, VitaminD

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?

Iron Levels
79yo male with classic tale of RLS. Started at 17yo. Progressing over the years. Augmentation last Christmas on Pramipexole and a hell of a time transitioning to gabapentin. Unfortunately though I could not stop the attacks even on high doses and taking it as advised by Sue Johnson. Helpful doc allowed

CT scan instead of gastroscopy / colonoscopy with all PA tests normal
My Active B12 was just about into the sufficient range. My H Pylorii was negative, as was anti IFAB and coeliac. Homocysteine was fine too. My neurologist’s physical exam was normal ( though the sharp stimulus was a little less sharp on the feet. ) I have been taking sublingual B12 and the tingling

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

B12 Manufacturing Process
I was reading a post about an Etsy shop offering injectable B12 doses so I decided to research where B12 is manufactured. I found this really interesting site and thought others might also find it interesting. https://quadram.ac.uk/case_studies/an-environmentally-friendly-vitamin-b12-production-method-that-makes-manufacture-more-affordable

Advice needed...
After being on 125mcg Levo for 25 years it was reduced to 100mch last year as my GP said my blood results were indicating over-medicating. I asked for an Endo referral and he carried out a blood test which showed the following... TSH 7.01 T4 13 T3 3.6 He then advised my GP to increase Levo to 125mcg

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

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
