Is this low B12 / folate?
Hi all! Curious if anyone can advise please- I am fatigued (really struggle at work), brain fog, aches and pains - have been taking HRT for few months but not cured it! Also stable levothyroxine for many years and have Psoriasis although mild. Wondering if I should ask GP for further investigation

test results
hi, can someone please help with my results. I have been very run down for months with chronic fatigue and dementia symptoms. Also TIA symptoms in July and have not felt ok since. my b12 results are high which I believe is because I was taking supplements prior to testing so need to retest in a few

Milestones.
Seems to me that my milestones associated with my cobalamin issues tend to be known to me only in hindsight. I thought about it and came to understand that is the way most milestones actually happen and it is only in hindsight and my narrative of the past that milestones become apparent. I need to

Unexplained bruising a B12 symptom?
Hello all, Backstory My daughter is continuing to receive EOD shots from her GP surgery by the grace of a switched on GP who I sent in the NICE guidelines to (for myself actually, but he seems to have taken it on board). The original GP who dealt with my daughter was happy to do loading doses but then

vitamin deficiencies
I had most of my sigmoid removed because of diverticulitis five years ago. My question is my surgeon said that it should not affect my vitamin or mineral intake because the sigmoid doesn’t involve that. Got on finding that it most certainly does I get a B12 injection because I’m a vegetarian so that

Megaloblastic anaemia
My
b12
and iron are low. I was advised to buy
vitamin
D supplements. If I can't get the injection the gp wrote, is there a different brand I could ask for? I live in London, UK.

Feeling dreadful but doc says results are fine!
Hi there, I was diagnosed with underactive thyroid back in July 2020. I was prescribed 25mg levothyroxine which was increased to 50mg after 6 months. Shortly after starting levothyroxine I started getting stiffness in my neck and shoulders along with pain in my hips and groin - the only way I can

Newly diagnosed b12, are these symptoms all b12 deficiency symptoms?
Hi im posting for my partner, he's been struggling with symptoms for around 15 years gradually getting worse. GPs kept saying that he has health anxiety. He has an off balance feeling, ear fullness, pressure in head, droppy feelings in his head, strange sensations in his head, headaches, mouth ulcers

Results of latest trial.
When I first started doing trials I did them for 120 days, then 90. This was based on the average lifespan of a red blood cell which I no longer consider. I found over time that 30 day trials seemed effective sometimes I found the results to be definitive in 7+- days when reducing or eliminating And

Recent blood results, help interpreting
I used to get this sometimes when my thyroid levels were bad, but I'm wondering whether these symptoms can be caused by overdosing in
B12
, folic acid, selenium or
vitamin
D?

Update after Endo
Good morning, I'm just writing this as an update to anyone who may be interested in my seemingly-odd case... My Endo appointment went well. (Or so I thought but if you're learning from this post, please read the comments!) She believes I have Graves disease, despite the antibodies indicating Hashimotos

Considering Conception & Ideal Thyroid Levels
Hi all. I finally saw an endocrinologist and they suggested increasing thyroxine dose by 20% when doing an embryo transfer to ensure adequate thyroxine. I asked about FT3 and FT4 levels but they were only interested in TSH which didn’t make sense given it only signals thyroid production and isn’t a thyroid

Pink Tribe/Vita Blossom B12 complex v Health Leads
For months I’ve been taking PT or VB but decided to try Health Leads on a recommendation but guess what(?!!), my urine has taken on that bright yellow colour and familiar odour of the types of B12 product I’d stopped taking. Does this mean it’s an inferior product and I’m just peeing it down the loo

Blood Test Results Help Please
I have just got my blood test results back. I was diagnosed with Hashimotos Thyroiditis in 1994. My TSH is low & my T4 is low in the range. The lab refused to test my T3. My Folate is low & I feel my B12 is at the low end of the range (to feel well). My GP has just texted me re the Folate, but ignored
