Painful indigestion
I have pernicious anaemia treated with vit b12 injections. Prior to being diagnosed I suffered with terrible indigestion and the usual meds, like gaviscon, windeze, omprezole did nothing to alleviate it. Since starting the b12 injections the indigestion is less frequent but still very painful and wakes

Diarrhoea can be a symptom of vitamin B12 deficiency!
So if you get these other symptoms or a number of them as well, it's worth getting your B12 checked out with a doctor. The symptoms are: *Rapid breathing or shortness of breath *Headaches *Indigestion *Loss of appetite *Palpitations *Vision problems *Weakness and/or tiredness

Can't use Panpharma 😫
Although I'm prescribed B12 ampoules via my gp, I can only use certain brands without agonising stinging and burning. My local pharmacy hasn't been able to source anything for over a month. It's the added sodium acrylate that I react to. Decided to order online and I thought I'd thoroughly researched

Bit of a success with frequency of B12 injections
Hi, I just wanted to share a bit of a positive experience. I had about a year long history of feeling jittery, bit light headed, palpitations, classic anxiety symptoms. In desperation I asked the GP if she could check to make sure there was no physical reason for this. She kindly ran some basic checks

Parkinsons
Hello My dad has parkinsons and I have read that most patients with a parkinsons diagnosis have low b12. My dad has been taking cyanocobalamin for years so he must have had a low reading at some point. It frustrates me that this hasn't been reviewed. When we arrange a test, will he be required to

at last
more than 12 months several trips to neurologist, scans and blood tests I’ve now been put back on B12 injections (on the advice of the neurologist to the GP surgery) every 8 weeks, my original GP said my levels were high enough to last for years and he thought it was masking something else so he stopped

Advice on B12 injections
Hello :) I’ve not used this before, so hoping I’m writing in the right place! A couple of years ago my B12 was lowish at 160 - and the Dr advised that I take supplements - which I did . A couple of months ago I started to feel really rotten and very very tired, with bad headaches - I got some bloods

My symptoms seem to be getting worse
I have had PA for years, it was discovered because I had a mini stroke at 34. Once discovered I was put on B12 injections. After some time my energy came back but, the pins and needles, electric shock headaches, aches and pains never left - learnt to live with them. However, recently my stomach hurts

Can You Refuse Certain Blood Tests
I had a consult with a Livi doctor last week for non thyroid related issue, he wanted me to have a load of bloods done. I've checked online and see what he's ordered. It includes B12, which is pointless as I'm on jabs and have been for years, so B12 always very high. ( the lab always moan and point this

B12 and piece of mind. Coming to terms with being sick.
Every time I feel I am dealing with this, something troubles me. As well as low B12 I seem to have had cystitis again recently and am antibiotics, I can’t describe how worn down I am. I also have to inject a drug called Humira. This drug has many risks involved including cancers. Due to blood being in

Abdominal Cutaneous Nerve Entrapment
I have been suffering with bloating, nausea and burning pain from my hip down to my groin, and across my abdomen for over two years. I have seen many specialists trying to find the cause, without success, apart from saying it’s neuropathic. I have concluded it is Abdominal Cutaneous Nerve entrapment

new Medichecks results June 2024
Hi all, my new medichecks results from June 2024 are as follows… my active B12 is up from 49 pmo/l (sept 23) to 150 pmo/L so SI seems to be doing the Job! (Monthly). My CRP HS is raised from 3.98 mg/L (sept 23) to 4.470 mg/L (June 24) and am wondering if this is due to my reactive gastritis? Can I please

Too much b12?
As a coeliac I don’t absorb b12 and after much stress with doctors I had the 2wks of loading doses and one every 3 mths with doctor. I pay for an injection in the other months and take Clean b12 tablets daily. As I thought your body can’t overdose I’ve been taking two b12 at night instead of one, and
