Is it safe to inject b12 shots for vitamin b12 level of 165pg/ml?
And i think its not dangerous for my low level of
b12
vitamin
. I should also add that my cbc results generally comes normal. But many of them has raised MCH level. I mean 32 (lab normal ranges is 24-31)but my MCH generally come back as 32 or 33.

Using up my B1 Thiamine.
I never got the hang of knowing when I used up my B12 as some experience. Likely as I was also B1 deficient. The only way to determine if you are B1 deficient is to do a trial. The blood test is useless. Functional Deficiency of a Vitamin may be nothing more than a work around for not understanding

Anyone else have severe daily heartburn?

Can anyone recommend a good haematologist or Neurologist for pernicious anaemia
Hi can anyone recommend a haematologist or neurologist who has a good understanding of pernicious anaemia anywhere in England? (Needs to be NHS as GP said they won't act on any recommendation from a private doctor). Many of my neurological symptoms, although much improved, never went away completely

Tingling and pricking
Hi friends Two weeks ago I started with tingling and pricking in my feet, legs, arms and hands. When I lie down at night it is also in most of my torso and a bit in my face. Occasionally I get little stabs in my feet. It comes and goes every few days and lasts a couple of days. Massage helps. It does

Blood Test Advice
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 the test.

live blood analysis …migraines
Around 7 years ago following blood tests for TATT and various other ailments, it was found that I had a low B12 (156) and GP agreed to prescribe the usual injections… loading dose and then 3 monthly. After lots of research on this site and through trial and error I finally settled on SE every 2 weeks

I assume this is the root cause of my pernicious anemia? I have an appointment this week to discuss with GI, but want to go into the appointment educated. Does anyone else have this? Any treatment for this? I’m already on EOD (for last two weeks) B12 shots and multivitamins. Thanks in advance for your

Freezing Temperatures
Does anyone know if below freezing temperatures negatively affect ampules of B12? My latest order from Canada was left in the mailbox overnight and it was a very cold night.

Endo blood test codes
Hi after my recent post about rising TSH I asked my nhs endo to do the reccommend thyroid blood tests. I have received the blood test form today but am not sure what some of the codes mean. I know he said he couldn’t do all of them so I wanted to work out which to pay for privately. I recognise

Antibiotics and Increasing B12
Hi. I just got over a long bout with covid and am now on antibiotics (ceftin) for an ear infection (caused by covid). I've noticed since I began ceftin (8 days ago) that I'm experiencing fingers and toes tingling. Do you know if antibiotics can cause b12 depletion? I take daily 3000 mgs sublingually
