Blood Test Advice
I have a blood test booked for 8.40 next Monday. The form says: FBC, Ferritin, Liver function, Thyroid function, Vitamin D. At the moment I supplement with Vitamins B12, B complex, C, D, K2 and Turmeric, Selenium and Magnesium. I have stopped B complex but is there anything else I should stop before

Low b12
I’ve been diagnosed with low b12 and about to get injections. What I’m wondering does this interfere with thyroid blood tests ? Im sure I read that you have to stop taking supplements too before you get tested? Is this correct, if so how long?

Diarrhoea saga continued
I've had diarrhoea on and off for over a year. It started after breakfast and stopped around lunch time, not every day, but about 3 days a week. It's been slowly getting more frequent. A month or so ago I spoke to the GP who first diagnosed me with PMR/GCA. She tested me for coeliac and cancer, both

Numb hands 😞
Hello, I have been suffering with numb hands at night and during the day for a while. They really hurt at night and wake me up. It seems that it's made worse by laying on my side and not so connected to the position of my wrists. Splints don't make much difference. Has anyone had anything similar and

Is it possible to have PA on a spectrum?
Hi, is it possible to have PA on a spectrum, where you get some B12 out of what you eat? I have to wait another long 2 months clear of supplements before I test again, & I just wondered if it can be a gradual thing to start with? Thank you.

hEDS and B12 comorbidity?
Possibly a bit of a long shot but does anyone here also have a diagnosis of hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome and/or joint problems related to hypermobility as well as PA? I recently saw a rheumatologist and whilst we’re waiting on test results to rule out other autoimmune diseases, I think she was

Just need some advice on self injecting.
Just need to come up with a safe plan for what to do about my B12 injections. After several years of symptoms like chronic fatigue, brain fog, dizziness, pins and needles, sore lips, dry skin, breathlessness etc I was finally diagnosed with a B12 deficiency in 2011. My B12 level was 154. By this

Advice please
I posted some time ago a query whether I really needed to take Levothyroxine as I felt. I was being treated as hypothyroid to avoid more frequent B12 jabs. In the meantime my husband has had a health scare & I have been caring for him He is 100% now & I have finally obtained my latest Thyroid levels
