Doubling Dose of Thyroxine?
Hi, I’d like your thoughts and opinions (I’ll make the decision 🙂) on doubling my thyroxine dose by taking two tablets per day. I’m on 50mg, been at that for years, but I still feel cold especially feet and hands. My TSH level is 3.28 and whilst it might be in range, I understand it should be more around

Every other day injections UK
There have been references on here of the possibility of having B12 injections every other day when neurological symptoms existing (or persist) by can someone point me at a formal UK NHS or NICE source for this please? My neurologist has suggested monthly injections but my GP is still seeking advice

Doubling Dose For Hypothyroidism?
Hi, I know this is not the thyroid thread. I’m here because I’m B12 deficient, SI with hydroxocobalamim. But because it’s an autoimmune problem I sure a number of others are affected by hypothyroidism hence my desire to get thoughts and opinions (I’ll make the decision 🙂) on doubling my thyroxine dose

Feeling worse
Hi all Hope everyone's had a good start to 2024. I was started on levothyroxine 25mcg on 19th December, after being on it for 2 weeks I did feel a very slight improvement, it only lasted a couple days, and have been feeling worse since. The levo was teva brand. I have collected my new month prescription

Vestibular Neuritis
Hi everyone, I woke up on New Year's Day with the room spinning around me. Very scary! Diagnosed as vestibular neuritis. My question is, I usually self inject weekly which I have continued to do. I don't know if I'm imagining it but the vertigo symptoms seem to greatly improve for a couple of days

update
well after getting my labs back from Dr. Cooper I have to say that I am a little disappointed in the fact that he said my feretin levels were good at 51. I have understood from you guys that it needs to be at least 100 so him saying that 51 is good disappoints me. That being said I received my results

How quickly would B12 Levels drop post injection?
Hello, I had 6 loading doses of B12 in September following a B12 level of <145 (test doesn’t specify below that cut off) I had some symptoms including muscle aches particularly my legs above my knees, anxiety, panic attacks, fatigue, dizziness and pins and needles on my left hand. No evidence of anaemia

Is 3 times enough? And inherit.
I've been si M,W & F for couple months now and beginning to think it's not enough. Not sure if this happens to anyone else, but I get very tired, and weak until I eat something. It's a night and day difference after I eat, then a few hours later that all repeats. Do you all think I may need to increase

Hello and happy new year everyone!! Aching legs when I walk more then 50 yards (in a nutshell)!!
Hello All, It's been ages since I wrote a post. I have been relatively OK for a while and then went down hill middle of December with my annual COPD freakout chest infection - heavy duty antibiotics sorted that out but of course, as I have discovered, "old age don't come alone". I am 70 now and although

Tablets v Injections
Hi, After a few years of monitoring my B12 levels are now low enough for my GP to offer treatment. I was expecting injections but have been prescribed tablets. Is anyone else on these ? I assumed from what I had read that injections were the primary option. Thanks
