Chat with GP. Disappointed.
Regarding my low folate,
B12
and D. They’ve prescribed a loading dose (high
vitamin
D) for a while. Folic acid despite me feeling like that’s useless unless I’m thinking wrong. B12 I’ll just add my supplement in. It’s just so difficult.

Functional B12 diagnosis query
Hi, Can anyone advise me what kind of specialist is needed in the UK to diagnose Functional B12 deficiency? My GP practice doesn’t seem to know. After a frustrating few months waiting weeks for phone appointments, we are still no further on with being able to access B12 injections under medical supervision

There are MANY ways in which tributes may be paid to celebrate the life & notable dedication to patient/service user care, of the late Dr JC.

3 Months of EOD B12 Injections
Hi I have been doing EOD sub cut injections of Hydroxycobalamin for 13 weeks now. The peripheral neuropathy in my feet has not improved. If anything it might be worse, but that could be from something else. Have I given this long enough to rule lack of B12 out or do I need to keep going? Some

HNY!... and a warning for those who lead busy lives (aka all of us)
Firstly, I'm conscious I haven't posted in a while. 2023 has been a tumultuous and stressful year for me personally which involved a very close family member being diagnosed with cancer at the start of the year and much of my life for the next 6 months revolving around that. It's not why I'm here, but

Loading doses
I will try and keep this as short as possible. 21 years ago GP diagnosed PA and up until 3 years ago I had B12 injections every 12 weeks. 3 years ago the CCG instructed GP's to cut down giving injections to anyone unless they had PA. My jobsworth GP decided to give me a blood test, which was in range

How to inject Hevert ampoules
I ordered the Hevert B12.A few responses were from people who had used these ampoules. These ampoules contain a lot more liquid than Panpharma ones. Can you tell me how to use them please. Do I inject in two goes or is it safe to inject the full amount at once. I am now doing sub cut but will go back

B6 and tingling in toes
My brother has been experiencing tingling in his toes. A retired doctor who my brother sees socially told him to have B12 tested, and also B6. I briefly googled B6 and saw reports in general websites that both high and low levels of B6 can cause tingling in toes. My brother told me that his B6 tested

Consistent with b12 absorption problem?
For context, I have autoimmune under-active thyroid disease (diagnosed 2017) and eat a diet rich in
vitamin
b12
. In July 2018 I felt unwell with symptoms of b12 deficiency and an active b12 test came back at 34.3.

New smaller needle issue
Following recommendations on here. I used 31G 6 mm Needle for subcutaneous, I've previously been using 1inch needles for I M injections. I have just used the new 31G needle and have a lump on my thigh under my skin is this normal? Has the B12 gone in? What have I done wrong??

b12 testing
My worry is this. I had low b12 2 years ago (aug 2022) , it came back in the 200s, can’t quite remember. I had loading doses and it came back in 900s. The doctors left it at that. Then in September of this year (2 months ago) it came back at 390 (180-900). Ive been feeling worse and worse ever since

Advice please - B12 auditory/optical neuropathy
Does anyone have any experience of sight and hearing loss with B12. My daughter (27) suffered with low B12 and was nearly reduced to being wheelchair. There is a family history of PA etc. The severity of her symptoms means that she has has been injecting every day and has regained 95% of her mobility

GP preparation after bloods
Hi, have had my 7 week blood test after starting Levo for Hashimotos, on 100 mg. I have a GP call to discuss the results on 2 Jan and I am just pre-empting her telling me to stay where I am as TSH has dropped from 6.6 to 1.6. I have felt better in ups and downs but feeling less good this end of the
