Advice on blood results please!
I had been waiting to see an endocrinologist for 7 months after a low cortisol result in August last year. I saw them last week and they said there was nothing wrong with me according to tests and it was probably medication related. Please could I use the knowledge of this forum to look at my blood results

Have you found sub-lingual B12 tablets or sprays effective?
It seems to me that the NHS treatment I am getting is aimed at keeping me out of B12 deficiency, not about giving me the optimum level for health. So in the long term it could be a good idea to bump the levels up a bit more. I know a lot of people self-inject but I am looking into alternatives to that

Terrified
In 2011 I was diagnosed with
vitamin
B12
deficiency, my level was 154 and I also had
vitamin
D deficiency and iron deficiency at the same time. I was given loading doses of B12 and felt so much better and then went onto 3 monthly injections.

Has anyone had fluid retention in legs and feet when increasing dose?
My last dose increase of Armour, up to 2.5 grains a day, coincided with the start of the heatwave in earlier summer. My feet swelled up, they look like puffa fish on top. All I can comfortably wear is flip-flops! I put it down to the heatwave. Well that's way in the past now and my feet are still

Deficiency vs Broken
Hi Guys As usual I have been mulling over my recent GP experience of rolling eyes (aka “looking for their brain” courtesy of Narwhal!). I don’t think GPs get the difference between a body being deficient in B12 and a body whose B12 system is broken. Mixteca made the analogy of putting fuel in a

Disposal of used syringes from SI (Cardiff)

Advice on Blood results please?
Hi, I'm not diagnosed with any thyroid problems but have had numerous blood tests over the last 4 years because of severe menopause symptoms that have not responded to HRT. Would you be able to have a look and see what you think please? I have also included some of the vitamins tested.

skin reaction to B12 injections
Hi, I was prescribed the 6 injections every 2 days. Soon after the fourth injection I developed red bumpy skin on my forehead some of which looked like spots. After the 5th I developed a cluster of similar spots along my jawline that were uncomfortable. This is very unusual for me. My husband is administering
