I am new here - concerned about recent B12 blood test
Hello I am new to this forum but a long time member of Thyroid UK who basically saved my life 13 years ago. I am 70, have mild COPD, and until recently have been relatively healthy. I took a dive in Oct/Nov last year and have had chronic fatigue really since the end of last Summer. I thought - "Ah

high active B12
Hi, This is an extension from my previous post which has all the history on it. I think I’m going to email my haematologist for a referral to gastro re my 2 inflammation markers and abdominal issues maybe causing absorption issues. Could this be a thing with such high levels of active B12, as I can

I've been on 75 mcg levothyroxine since 23 August 2023. I've taken levothyroxine since January 2023. Is this the correct dosage now? I've never had any of the conventional hypothyroid symptoms, except for extreme anxiety and disregulated nervous system, gut issues and tinnitus. On the 75mcg I feel

Hello, First time writing and being on the forum so I apologise if this question has asked before. I have been diagnosed with PA for just over a year and a half and have 3 monthly B12 injections. Around the second month after the B12 injection I get a massive drop off. I get a metallic taste in my mouth

Levothyroxine and B12 possible interactions
I have been taking Levothyroxine for many years and believe that the symptoms I experience for both too much or too little Levothyroxine are identical. When I experience an increased pulse rate that can be because of either too much of too little Levothyroxine but keeping my dose fixed this problem is

I’ve never posted on here before as I’ve been really lucky with my surgery and treatment of my B12. However, on 05/01/24 I was informed that this would be my last injection, I would need a blood test to confirm if my injections were to be continued. Quite open about the fact that everyone in the surgery

What is supplies run out?
Hello all. I use Methylcobalamin and was wondering if the place I buy mine from goes out of business, what I would do. I've tried finding a backup or two, but so far the place I buy from is $55.00 for a vial (10 shots/vial). I mean I have no reason to think they will go out of business, but with things

People with high blood levels of niacin, (vitamin B3), may be more likely to have a heart attack or stroke than those with lower levels
This is mostly because I am vegetarian and I worry about not consuming enough of the nutrients found in high amounts in meat, such as
vitamin
B12
and iron. To some degree I view supplements like a nutritional insurance policy, making up for any gaps in my diet. Plus, what is the harm, right?
