Hi, I recently had my bloods done with monitor my health on 10/01/24 and the results indicated low folate and thyroid levels not optimal. I then spoke to my GP but they dismissed the private tests and asked for me to have my bloods done again which I had done on 25/01/24 only because I got the appointment

Hi brilliant minds, I hope you’re all well. Please could you have a quick look at my latest blood results and advise on anything you think isn’t as it should be... 🙏 I’m on 125mcg Levo but feel really tired most days and would sleep if I let myself! I think my iron is low (always is). I take Terra

Ritalin not helping
My 5 YO son has just been diagnosed with ADHD he started Ritalin 5 days ago but both my husband and I think it’s definitely made his aggression worse. Our main struggle with him has always been his impulsive behavior towards peers (at the point of almost being kicked out of his pre-school) we can’t get

PALVE
I’m about to start b12 injections alternate days for two weeks then every 3 months. I appreciate this isn’t enough for neurological problems which I have. Should I ask for blood tests for folic acid before I start and then take every day .. and for how long? I’m not going down the path of SI for lots

Stiff as a Post!
I rather like that play on words! I know that stiffness is a part of PMR but I have experienced stiffenss since my fifties. I remember going to a wholistic style GP who told me to take huge doses of Vitamin D and zinc tablets which I don't remember making a lot of difference. My brother, who I haven't

changing from Armour to levo
Hi all I take armour thyroid and have done for over 10 yrs now. I was originally prescribed this by a private doctor but further down the rd I found a way to buy Armour myself so I self medicate. I test my levels regularly (probably every 4-6 months) and I’ve felt in a good place for years. That’s

AUTOIMMUNE LIVER BLOODS
I am new to this community and have found some useful information here. I was diagnosed with B12 deficiency of 158 last August, had various tests plus B12 repeated on 17 January and this time my B12 came back at 147. My GP says it’s borderline but from what I’ve read hear it’s low, he did further bloods

So we see the ones called calceous 400 unit with calcium 1 twice a day did not maintain her level. So that could be one reason why she

Research suggests that 11g of fat at a meal is what is needed for optimal absorption of these vitamins. Some

My doctors won’t investigate

Trimethoprim - ET
I have unfortunately developed a urinary tract infection. I am penicillin-sensitive and have been prescribed trimethoprim as a seven day course. I have been reading up on it and see that it should not be prescribed for patients with "blood dyscrasias" because of some interaction with folate. Does
