Supplimenting Vit B12 and Folate - how much?
Hello,My recent blood test shows: Ferritin 107ug/l (30-250) B12 377ng/l (200-900) Folate 4.7ug/l (3-20.50) (they forgot to test for Thyroid, so I have got to book in again for that...) I have checked previous messages and think that my Folate is low and B12 could be improved. There are supplements

Tiny Levo increase but FT4 well over range
Just got results back from MMH. I’ll add historical results for comparison but they may be irrelevant as I am where I am! I take Levo only. Ranges were 3.1-6 for FT3 and 12-22 for all tests. 2021 on 100mcg TSH 0.01 FT4 24.9=129% (12-22) FT3 6.5=91.89% (3.1-6.8) Note: insomnia much improved

Blood Test Results.
Some of you will remember it took me a month to get blood test results because in the first instance the Doc who arranged them wanted to give me the results. Made about 3 appointments which were cancelled because he changed his working days or whatever so eventually decided that just to get the results

Is it OK to take 2 different types of B1 at the same time? with HDT, B1 Therapy, etc.
I am currently having success with taking my sweet spot for TTFD (17.5mg) one day and my sweet spot for B1 hcl oral (1000mg) the next [Why both - TTFD elevates my mood* better than just B1 hcl oral]. Problem: I have a bad neck and I have to take more pain relievers on TTFD days. Which creates another

Help with next appointment following loading doses
Following a B12 of 194ng/L (187 - 883) in August, in Sept it was 208. MMA and Folate both “normal” but Homocysteine was slightly above range so I have been given 6 loading doses and daily Folic Acid. (I don’t have the actual results other than the B12). I didn’t have any really noticeable response

Am I going the wrong way? ⬇️
Morning lovely people, my GP lowered my Thyroxin to 75mg from 100mg a month ago in order to get my TSH levels up, which have barely moved in ten years and were at 0.01 for ages and ages. This happened after I was prescribed T3 by a specialist just over ten years ago who has now even struck off. I can

If your doctor worries that too much B12 is toxic, show them this study on ALS & B12
ALS is the same as Lou Gehrig's disease, and is also what Stephen Hawking had. It is a neurodegenerative disease, thought to mostly affect the motor neurons. Ryosuke Oki, et al, "Efficacy and Safety of Ultrahigh-Dose Methylcobalamin in Early-Stage Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis" JAMA Neurol. 2022;

Is this classed as low folate?
I'm a little confused about my blood test results. I'm not sure if I am posting in the right group! MCH and MCHC were slightly high which can indicate macrolytic anaemia. GP said I don't have that because my B12 and folate levels are fine (which are the usual causes). However, I posted the results

Anyone experience morning hunger but nausea when trying to eat?
Hello, My daughter has asked me to ask if anyone experiences not being able to get food or liquid down in the morning, despite feeling hungry? She gets hungry (normal hunger pangs in stomach) and wants to eat, but then feels nauseous, even water makes her feel 'yucky'. As I have mentioned on other

Confused by B12 deficiency symptoms
Good morning from a confused anxious member. After I had my loading shots I tried to persuade my GP to give me more frequent injections due to my neuropathy symptoms and she agreed to two more, fortnightly. But she put a seed of doubt in my mind by saying maybe something else was going on rather than

Be Careful
Morning everyone, hope you are all well. I have pernicious anaemia and through the years have managed with self injections, resting, eating as well as I could (within reason), watching my weight and exercising as well as I can. In general I thought I was doing not too badly at all. Albeit tingling,
