Updated labs, new doctor, but still a no on adjusting meds
I posted my labs back in December and contacted my doctor asking for an increase in levothyroxine to 100 instead of my current 75. I've talked with them twice about this, but they seem to think that since my TSH is in range that any med adjustments may make me have some heart issues. I recently changed

B12 deficiency, Acid Reflux, heartburn
I’ve recently been diagnosed as B12 deficient. My symptoms were tingling in my feet and calves, hair loss, memory loss, ringing in my ears, exhaustion. This has been going on for over a year. I have been taking b12 vitamins this whole time and started taking them sublingually. Still no change in my levels

Advice on ‘normal’ test results
Hi I’ve recently joined and wanted some guidance on blood tests that my doctors are saying need no action. I went struggling with neck pain and neurological symptoms and they ordered full bloods. In the last two years I’ve gained a huge amount of weight, my face is puffy, and I’ve struggled with running

Update
I had a call from surgery re blood test to say I should pick up a script for 50mcg Levothyroxine which is double the daily dose I have been on. Another blood test in 6 weeks. My problem is I have been fine on 25mcg lots of energy as long as I get my B12 I wonder at GP changing meds without any consultation

I am still working out my next trial. I am having issues with procurement which is no fun. I now can reduce or eliminate a supplement and in a few days tell what the effect is, to my satisfaction. I call it incipit symptoms. I can tell they are going to return with a vengeance due to prior trials.

b12 injections making me worse
Hi, My bloods came back as having a serum b12 of 73 so my doctor started me on b12 injections. I have had 3 out of 6 so far, but instead of feeling better my symptoms seem to be getting worse. I can't think straight and missed my 4th b12 injection today because I thought it was at a different time

Cutting out pop and takeaways sounds sensible. I cut out dairy products and most carbohydrates but I am cautious about recommending that as eating too much protein and not enough calcium to remove the amino acids may have caused the kidney stones which I have developed. I should think most of those who
