A phone call yesterday from a consultant Gastroenterologist was very unsuccessful! It lasted less than 5 mins! I explained my symptoms and what my last blood tests results were and I am indeterminate B12 deficient (as per March 24 N.I.C.E guidlines); I also explained it may be my gastric band that’s

Hello all. Thanks to all who’ve shared their wisdom over the years. I hope the following can help others in this forum. We recently started our PWP on Nicotinamide (500mg, A squared fm Amazon) and switched from B12 to a B complex (Pure Encapsulations fm Amazon). There has been an improvement in

Injections
Hello everyone. I'm waiting for NHS appt with endo which is 20th May. I don't know how much longer I can stay in work feeling like i do atm. I'm exhausted all the time. I cant afford private treatment for B12. I already pay private consultants for menopause care so I just can't add on anymore.

can I ask if any members find that lack of B12 increases depression.I find when “low” that an increase in SI is becoming necessary.I would be grateful for members views.

More B12 injections?
I’m currently injecting hydroxo once a day. I feel this isn’t enough. I’ve been injecting for 2 years. Does anyone here inject more than once a day? If so have there been any improvements?

High IronLow Ferritin
Hi, after my last results 2 months ago my ferritin level has dropped further regardless of the B12 suplaments (was told they are supposed to aid in converting iron to ferritin) however they have been no use. My ferritin has dropped further. Any recommendations on tests or suplaments? I live in Cyprus

Could This Be Thyroid?
I know what you're going to say... do these tests and just wait and see... I'm very anxious with symptoms right now and just looking for some thoughts. Although I am currently awaiting investigations into what I'm fearful might be a liver or pancreas problem (you know what I'm saying), I'm hoping some

Seeking reassurance on fatigue and recovery
Hi everyone, I've been managing a rollercoaster of symptoms lately and wanted to see if anyone has experienced something similar.

Levo being reduced, but feeling under medicated.
Hi, I would greatly appreciate some input on my test results! I have been hypothyroid for over 17 years, and have always adhered unquestioningly to the doctor’s guidance, assuming that they were doing all they could. Having found this site, however, I am starting to wonder if there is more that can

Finally diagnosed, but next steps unclear
Hi, newbie here. I've felt like crap since last year. A health check had my B12 at about 250 with folate just below the NHS bottom range around December 2022. I was told it was ok, not to worry, I didn't have symptoms blah blah. A few months ago I started to get tingling in the right hand (I say

Help with results please!
You have normal levels of
vitamin
B12
, but it is towards the low end of the normal range. To work out whether there is significant underlying B12 deficiency I recommend arranging a serum methylmalonic acid (MMA) blood test.”

Do I need to increase folic acid/folate intake with B12 shots?
Hello all, I am within one week of taking daily b12 injections as a loading dose. A group on Facebook advise a protocol of taking 5mg of folic acid daily as it is a cofactor for b12. I get that part but I’m checking whether it’s necessary to take such a high amount of folic acid if, prior to starting

Alcohol and B12/folate deficiency
Just wondering if any of you lovely people avoid alcohol? I haven't felt much like drinking recently but when I have, I feel absolutely awful the next day. Just wondering if it's just extra pressure on the body that makes me feel bad or if there's a proven connection I haven't come across yet? Thanks
