petition?!
hello, I was just online trying to find anything about IM v’s SC B12 and came across a post response to the question of do the NHS fund B12 injections-the answer (from a Cornwall NHS) said that the NHS would no longer be funding these and would expect the patient to pay for themselves? No date on post

My Stuffy Head
Current Trial; Inject 1.5mg hydroxocobalamin, 1mg adenosylcobalamin, 1.5mg methylcobalamin 5 times a day including setting an alarm to inject at night to prevent my body from a period of time without enough B12 available for healing. 50 mg of B6 in the form of P-5-P twice a day to prevent B6 deficiency

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

Help with Thyroid results please.
hi everyone, I would be grateful for some advice on thyroid results for my younger brother please. I have Auto immune Hypo since 2004 and so does one of my brothers and my mum.

Blood test help - trial T3 or get vitamins up first?
Please bear with the first part of this it is relevant: In late 2021 I was in a job which had become very stressful and was suffering some odd symptoms – in particular I tended to spike a fever for 12-24 hours with no obvious illness, low resting heart rate, very dry skin, extreme tiredness.

Feeling really low at the minute. Sorry this is a long one but just want to write it all down.
After Nstemi in March, I went back to work in April. Was feeling pretty good apart from a burning sensation in the chest area not quite every day. I am on the gold standard meds, apparently and the GP advised that my 3 months was up to and to stop clopidogrel on 14 June. Which I did. He increased my

Have you found sub-lingual B12 tablets or sprays effective?
It seems to me that the NHS treatment I am getting is aimed at keeping me out of B12 deficiency, not about giving me the optimum level for health. So in the long term it could be a good idea to bump the levels up a bit more. I know a lot of people self-inject but I am looking into alternatives to that

CHRONIC INSOMNIA
My last test results from May 2024 below. I’m supplementing iron, folate, vitamin C, vitamin D, b12 injections, selenium, zinc, just started B complex (first time in years). I use melatonin & magnesium glycinate at the elusive bed time. I should be mid to optimal in vitamin levels. In June 2024 I increased

Thoughts on test results
This is my first post. I’ve been avidly reading back through past information and found it very empowering - I’ve been inspired to take control of my health. I’ve just had results back from a Medichecks thyroid panel and would appreciate your thoughts. Full information about my history and symptoms

Has anyone had fluid retention in legs and feet when increasing dose?
My last dose increase of Armour, up to 2.5 grains a day, coincided with the start of the heatwave in earlier summer. My feet swelled up, they look like puffa fish on top. All I can comfortably wear is flip-flops! I put it down to the heatwave. Well that's way in the past now and my feet are still

Deficiency vs Broken
Hi Guys As usual I have been mulling over my recent GP experience of rolling eyes (aka “looking for their brain” courtesy of Narwhal!). I don’t think GPs get the difference between a body being deficient in B12 and a body whose B12 system is broken. Mixteca made the analogy of putting fuel in a

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
