Test Results interpretation
HNY everyone! I got my test results back from the GP today. She did a full MOT (although didn’t include vit d or ferritin) but I’m not sure what they mean or if they are optimal. My vit b12 is 502 (197-771) Serum folate is 8th/L (3.0-26.8) My thyroid results are meaningless as I had taken my meds

Scotland - seeking non-NHS practitioner
Hi, I think I have a B12 deficincy or PA. So far tests say my B12 and IFABs are fine. But I have a long list of symptoms which say I'm definitely not fine. But GP won't look any further. I've been seeking someone to see privately but can't find anyone with a specialism or special interest in Scotland

Cobasorb test in draft Nice guidelines - is it useful?
On page 13 of the draft guidelines a cobasorb test is mentioned to measure b12 absorption. Is this an old test/new test/useful test/should be deleted from the guidelines as useless test? I looked it up but mentions seem to be from a few years ago. Thank you.

Active B12 & TSAT
My test result for Active B12 is 113 pmol/L. Is this a good result, or should I take supplements to improve it? And for TSAT it's 49% which is right at the top of normal. Should I be concerned about that? Interested to hear opinions anyone cares to share.

Private Blood Test Results
Hello, Diagnosed with Hashimoto’s 2019, it was a long and sickly road to diagnosis and treatment. Levothyroxine only didn’t work for me and after a couple of not so great endo appointments I finally found a really good endocrinologist who agreed to add in liothyronine and commenced me on 20mcg

B12 or folic acid first?
My daughter has just been diagnosed with B12 and folate deficiency, The likely cause is poor diet so I’m happy not to pursue injections at this stage. Her GP has prescribed B12 and 5mg folic acid, both in tablet form. Please can anyone confirm which she should take first and for how long before

Nitrofurantoin Antibiotics up date
I have been really frightened this last week. I thought I might be seriously ill. So many of my symptoms have returned in such a short time. A swift full on comeback of anxiety and exhaustion where I don't even want to wash myself. Even got oral thrush. Can't believe this.I've seen a doctor who did listen

B12 is up from 185 pg/mL to 811 pg/mL
B12 levels are up to 811 now. Does that mean that it will continue to repair damage until the numbers come down over time. Just confused on how it works on the body. Guessing the reserve of b12 will just continue to heal things over time. Thanks
