Preparing for GP appt
Hello I have a GP appointment in a few weeks to discuss blood tests results and symptoms (tiredness, weight gain, low mood, pins and needles). Based on what I've read on this forum, it sounds like these symptoms and results could be indicative of hypothyroid, but because TSH is within range I'm unlikely

Thyroid levels advice for friend with newly dx Hashi and P.A please?
Hi, a friend has been supporting me in getting a Pernicious Anaemia diagnosis, as she also has it. She also has a recent Hashimoto's dx (like me, plus I'm hypothyroid too) but I've been trying to help her with it as it's all very new and overwhelming and she's been really ill with P.A for a long time

B12 sub lingual brand and dosage for my daughter
Hello, My daughter is due to get her IFAB result next week and should start injections then too. In the meantime I would like to try out high dose sub-lingual B12 - would 5000mcg once a day be worth trying? Or more? Or less? We don't know what she can absorb and we were talking aobut her diet today

Questions about TSH and advice on results over the past year much appreciated
Hi everybody, I've posted several times lately and I just wanted to ask for advice on thyroid related issues. I had COVID 3 times from June 22 - Jan 23 and was symptomatic each time. I did have a diagnosis of Fibromyalgia in 2018 but had been feeling a lot better in 2020 until I got COVID. Above

High B12 - more tests needed?
Serum
B12
is consistently high (latest 872, range 197 - 771) without any
vitamin
B supplements. Also, she has autoimmune thyroiditis, having tested positive for TPO & anti-thyroglobulin antibodies. Would it be worth while to do further blood tests, & if so, what?

Chronic PA
I was diagnosed with chronic PA in January 2018. Had to go on disability because I have short term memory loss. I was taking a nasal spray which really helped but unfortunately My doctor moved an hour away and my new doctor was in total denial about PA and he stopped seeing patients about a year ago

Adding more T3? or keep as is?
Hello All, I am looking to see any suggestions regarding adding more T3 to my current regimen. I am on 175 Tirosint T4 and 10mcg T3; I have Hashimoto’s and have been working on my iron by adding iron bisglycinate, which has helped as I am not dizzy, lightheaded, and have more focus. I also noticed

Ultrasound-guided Perineural Vitamin B12 Injection for Peripheral Neuropathy
While googling yesterday I found this articlehttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0929644115000053 Has anyone else heard of this potential treatment for neuropathy? I'd be very interested in trying it on my toes.

For People With Parkinson's Taking Levodopa Medication: The Danger of B6 Deficiency Is Dire and Vastly Outweighs the Danger of B6 Excess
Vitamin B6 is an essential cofactor for over 100 enzymatic reactions. We need abundant B6 to keep what is left of our dopaminergic neurons as healthy as possible, especially since they are already compromised by Parkinson's. Levodopa medication depletes vitamin B6. B6 is only present in foods in low
