For People With Parkinson's Taking Levodopa Medication: The Danger of B6 Deficiency Is Dire and Vastly Outweighs the Danger of B6 Excess
Vitamin B6 is an essential cofactor for over 100 enzymatic reactions. We need abundant B6 to keep what is left of our dopaminergic neurons as healthy as possible, especially since they are already compromised by Parkinson's. Levodopa medication depletes vitamin B6. B6 is only present in foods in low

New Year New Bloods! It's time to titrate! Please help!
I made it to 8 weeks. This feels like a long post - I have both Thyroid and Iron issues to work out... I tried to make it shorter, but did not succeed, so here is a 5 bullet summary first.
TL;DR: Got results I didn't quite expect:
- I only changed a wee bit... + 12.5 on the levo
Changed

Thyroid Function Results
Hi, even after a year this is all new to me re learning. I have posted before but had challenges accessing my medical records due to my email account being hacked. I am on 75mg of levothyroxine Mon to Fri and 50mg at the weekend. I was on 100mg post total thyroidectomy due to papillary cancer.

B12 deficiency, macrocytosis, and potassium drop
I have macrocytic anemia. My MCV for the past 7 years has hovered around 100. I had one good result of 93 and that was 3 months after getting loading shots of Cyanocobalamin when I was first diagnosed with B12 deficiency over a year ago. My doctor stopped my shots after that and I took only sublingual

Risedronate Update
Having had a long break after stopping Alendronic Acid, I started Risedronate on 2nd June 23. For the first few weeks I was fine. No noticeable side effects. (After the terrible time with AA you can appreciate I was overjoyed.) However about 3 weeks ago the same symptoms started creeping back.

Advice needed - T3 levels
I was diagnosed with sub-clinical underactive thyroid in 2016. My test results were TSH 7.91 (0.27 - 4.2); T4 12.2 (12 - 22); T3 4.4 (3.1 - 6.8) I was started on 25 mcg Levo, which over the years has been titrated up to 112 mcg. I’ve been monitoring levels via private blood tests every 3-6 months

It’s taken me a while to be able to get this post all typed up due to tiredness and brain fog. I just had 3 month follow-up

Could it be B12 deficiency?
I have been guided to this forum from Thyroid Uk and I’m hoping that, with your help, I can make sense of the fatigue and weakness I have been experiencing. In October last year I experienced what I can only describe as a crash. I am normally fit and active and had a lovely summer with many trips camping
