B12 sources
I'm new here and not sure how it works but the problem is, I have moved house and thus GP practice, I normally have my B12 injections every 28 days and I don't think my new GP will do this, saying they usually do them every 2 months or so. This is no good to me so will have to self inject, can anyone

How do I start on self injecting?
I have been on B12 injections for years, but since covid they don't last. I get mine every 8 weeks, but symptoms return after only one week now and get progressively worse, tremors, ataxia, severe pain in spine.... but GP refuses injections more frequently. How do I go about self injecting, where do

Folate when SI?
Hi everyone, How much folate is recommended when injecting B12? The folate tablets I have are 400µg. Also, can anyone kindly comment on my sudden lip problems? I awoke 4 mornings ago to blistered lips, they were slightly worse the next morning. The blistering seems to have stopped but my lips are

testing hit folate and vitamin b12
My hospital lab started to give me results for folate and b12 combined. Is it standard ? Any suggestions would be very welcome.

At same time having tests about long standing

Update and latest results
Hello again lovely people. I thought I’d come back and update having been on Levo 50mcg since diagnosis 3 months ago. In early January the GP asked me to retest and only TSH was done (big let down but not unexpected)! I was amazed that after only 2 months on Levo 50mcg that my TSH had dropped to 0.44

Haven't tested since last July. Wanted to test again end of last year but pharmacies kept messing with my meds so I had to keep waiting for things to settle down for a few weeks Latest results on 125mcg Levo and 10mcg T2 split dose. Levo taken 24hrs before, 5mcg T3 taken around 4pm and 5mcg T3 taken

Low B12 levels
it’s not an area I know much about with a B12 level of 433 (187-833) would I qualify for B12 injections?

Hashimotos blood test results - Iron supplementation advice needed! Thank you
Hi again, This forum has been the most helpful support. Could you support me in understanding next steps following the below test results? In particular, my iron panel results seem to be very low, and I am not sure how to correct that. How should I start to supplement? I was diagnosed with hashimotos

first b12 injection learning all I can
hello, first post so I’ll try to keep it concise as I have a lot going on. I appreciate any tips and/or input you care to share. I’m 55years old, post menopausal and I have hashimotos, lupus, anti phospholipid syndrome and had a thyroidectomy years ago. So figuring out symptoms has always been a challenge

Help with latest bloods please!
hi everyone I’m on 50mcg of Levothyroxine for Hashimotos and my original test results are in my profile. I’ve just had some bloods done with the GP and they’ve said no further action is required. I’m conscious that there is a difference between being within range and optimal, so I thought I’d come on

When I posted towards the end of last year I was struggling and my B12 was low, ferritin dire at 16 and some

helvella - Thyroid Blog
You might or might not know that I have been accumulating information about thyroid issues in my blog - I have created a significant number of pages now. Many will be aware of some of the specific pages which I link to quite regularly. But you might not have realised what else is there. Below is a copy

Does anyone have a weak heart and fast heartbeat, physical anxiety feeling, as their main low b12 symptom?
I sometimes get a feeling of weak heart and uncomfortable chest, too fast heartbeat, and a feeling like physical anxiety in my stomach/heart while mentally feeling completely calm so it's definitely a physically caused thing. My heart area feels uncomfortable and it makes sleep very difficult. I also
