Latest blood tests
Hi everyone, I posted a while ago about getting all my underactive thyroid symptoms back, joint pains, fatigue, anxiety and others. I’d had test results saying my TSH was low, but the dr was saying that it was satisfactory. I managed to speak to another dr and she ordered full blood tests. My results

folic acid
Is there a good resource showing the need for good folate levels alongside B12 injections? I’m on 4-weekly B12 injections but my latest serum folate blood test is at the very low end of the range, but technically in range according to the NHS so ‘no action required’. It’s gone down while I’ve been

Filter needles for methylcobalamin
Do you use filter needles to draw up your B12? If so, where do you get them? I just received my dry methylcobalamin and normal saline ampules, and I mixed it up but then I started to worry about drawing up glass in the syringe. I'm not sure how likely this is. Is it a big risk to do it without a filter

Coronary artery calcification, osteoporosis and B12 deficiency- what to do next ?
I have just been found to have coronary artery calcification incidentally when having a Lung Healthcare scan. This information was passed to my GP who wants to put me on statins (Atorvastatin 20mg daily). I have no idea of the severity or extent of the calcification, only that it was found. I don't

Spinal stenosis & b12 deficiency
Hi, Have just been diagnosed with severe spinal stenosis. I have reasons to believe it has a congenital aspect with me so that would eliminate b12 deficiency. But in reading I found some correlation studies with b12 deficiency. I thought that b12 deficiency only caused issues with degeneration of

Low Red Blood Cell count and GFR kidney count blamed on PMR. Is this true?
I have just had some blood test results. There are several results which need looking at but someone has added "Normal for this patient". When I have asked before PMR or Pred have been blamed. I took your advice once over breathlessness for example and the GP did further tests. Now the Red Blood

Polyneuropathy and vitamin B 12
I have had polyneuropathy for some time and I have tried B12 recently and it seems to me to help a lot. I put this to the test accidentally by running out and was surprised by how much the pain increased. Not expensive and worth trying.
